Troponin I, fast skeletal muscle is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNNI2 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

The TNNI2 gene is located at 11p15.5 in the human chromosomal genome, encoding the fast twitch skeletal muscle troponin I (fsTnI). fsTnI is a 21.3 kDa protein consisting of 182 amino acids including the first methionine with an isoelectric point (pI) of 8.74. It is the inhibitory subunit of the troponin complex in fast twitch skeletal muscle fibers. [7]

Three homologous genes have evolved in vertebrates, encoding three muscle type-specific isoforms of TnI. [8] [9] [10] Sequence analysis, immunological distance, and examination of evolutionarily suppressed conformational states showed that the TnI genes have evolved in close linkage with the genes encoding troponin T (TnT), another subunit of the troponin complex. [10] The fast TnI-fast TnT gene pair represents the original TnI and TnT genes (Fig. 1). The three muscle fiber type-specific TnI-TnT gene pairs were likely originated from a TnI-like ancestor gene that presumably duplicated to form a closely linked fast TnI-like and fast TnT-like gene pair. A later duplication events resulted in emergences of a slow TnI-like and cardiac TnT-like gene pair that was further duplicated to give rise of the present-day slow TnI-cardiac TnT and cardiac TnI-slow TnT gene pairs. The seemingly scrambled ssTnI and cTnI gene pair is actually functionally related as they co-express and form troponin complex in the embryonic heart. The overlapping of enhancer elements of the TnT gene promoter with the upstream TnI gene structure may be a critical factor in the preservation of the close linkage of TnI and TnT gene pairs [11]

The phylogenetic tree in Fig. 2 summarizes the evolutionary lineage of fsTnI isoforms in vertebrate species.

Phylogenetic analysis of vertebrate TnI isoforms demonstrated that each of the muscle type-specific isoforms is more conserved across species than the three isoforms in one given species, indicating early diverged functions of the muscle fiber type-specific isoforms as well as the conservation of functions for each muscle fiber type. [12]

Tissue distribution

Fast skeletal muscle TnI was first cloned from a skeletal muscle cDNA library. [13] It is generally observed that fsTnI is exclusively expressed in fast twitch skeletal muscle fibers. More recent studies reported that subunits of fast skeletal muscle troponin (fsTnI, fsTnT, fsTnC) were expressed at significant levels in smooth muscle cells of mouse blood vessels, [14] bladder and bronchi. [15] Expression of fsTnI was also found in non-muscle cells, such as human corneal epithelial cells [16] and cartilage. [17] [18] The function of fsTnI expressed in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells is unclear.

Crystallographic structure of fsTnI in troponin complex from chicken fast skeletal muscle showed an overall structure [19] similar to that of cardiac troponin. [20] The inhibitory region of fsTnI was resolved in skeletal troponin whereas it was invisible in the cardiac troponin crystal structure. Based on the crystal structure, a schematic illustration (Fig. 3) was proposed to show the conformational changes in troponin during muscle activation and relaxation.

Posttranslational modifications

Phosphorylation: Ser118 of fsTnI, equivalent to Ser150 in cTnI, was reported as a phosphorylation substrate of AMPK. [21] As AMPK is a key regulator of cellular energetics, phosphorylation of this site may provide an adaptive mechanism during energy deprivation in both skeletal and cardiac muscles.

S-glutathionylation: fsTnI was found to be S-glutathionylated at Cys133 in rodent fast-twitch skeletal muscle and in human type II muscle fibers after exercise, which increased Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus. [22]

Clinical significance

A missense mutation R174Q, a nonsense mutation R156X, and three single residue deletions DE167, DK175 and DK176, all in the C-terminal actin-tropomyosin interacting domain, have been found in patients with distal arthrogryposis. [23] [24] [25] [26]

Skeletal muscle TnI has been proposed as a sensitive and fast fiber-specific serum marker of skeletal muscle injury. [27] [28] fsTnI concentration in increased peripheral blood when fast twitch fibers were damaged. [28]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Skeletal muscle</span> One of three major types of muscle

Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. They are part of the voluntary muscular system and typically are attached by tendons to bones of a skeleton. The skeletal muscle cells are much longer than in the other types of muscle tissue, and are also known as muscle fibers. The tissue of a skeletal muscle is striated – having a striped appearance due to the arrangement of the sarcomeres.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Troponin</span> Protein complex

Troponin, or the troponin complex, is a complex of three regulatory proteins that are integral to muscle contraction in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle, but not smooth muscle. Measurements of cardiac-specific troponins I and T are extensively used as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in the management of myocarditis, myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome. Blood troponin levels may be used as a diagnostic marker for stroke or other myocardial injury that is ongoing, although the sensitivity of this measurement is low.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Troponin I</span> Muscle protein

Troponin I is a cardiac and skeletal muscle protein family. It is a part of the troponin protein complex, where it binds to actin in thin myofilaments to hold the actin-tropomyosin complex in place. Troponin I prevents myosin from binding to actin in relaxed muscle. When calcium binds to the troponin C, it causes conformational changes which lead to dislocation of troponin I. Afterwards, tropomyosin leaves the binding site for myosin on actin leading to contraction of muscle. The letter I is given due to its inhibitory character. It is a useful marker in the laboratory diagnosis of heart attack. It occurs in different plasma concentration but the same circumstances as troponin T - either test can be performed for confirmation of cardiac muscle damage and laboratories usually offer one test or the other.
