Summary, in English

Levosimendan, an inodilatory drag discovered using troponin C as a target protein, has a cardiac effect deriving from the calcium sensitization of contractile proteins. The aim of this study was to give further evidence that levosimendan binds to cardiac troponin C and that the binding involves amino acid residues on helix ε of the N-terminal domain of this calcium-binding protein. Nine organic molecules, obtained by chemical modification of levosimendan, were tested both for their calcium-dependent binding to troponin C and troponin complex affinity Hplc columns, and for their ability to increase the calcium sensitivity of myofilaments in cardiac skinned fibers. A good correlation between the calcium sensitization and the calcium-dependent binding to troponin complex (r= 0.90) and to cardiac troponin C (r = 0.91) for the analogs of levosimendan was shown. In addition, the effect of levosimendan on the calcium-induced conformational changes in native and point-mutated cTnC was studied. Cys84→Ser, Asp87→Lys and Asp88 →Ala point-mutated cTnC were shown to maintain a high affinity to calcium, but their Ca2+ titration curves were not influenced by levosimendan as for the native protein. Finally, it was demonstrated that the NMR chemical shifts of the terminal methyl groups of Met47, Met81, and Met85 on calcium-saturated cTnC were changed after addition of levosimendan in water solution at pH 7.4. This effect was not seen when adding an analog of levosimendan, which did not bind to the troponin C affinity HPLC column and did not increase the calcium-induced tension in cardiac skinned fibers.
