The binding of a new calcium sensitizer, levosimendan, to human cardiac troponin C (cTnC) is described. Fluorescence studies done on dansylated recombinant human cTnC and a site-directed mutant showed that levosimendan modulated the calcium-induced conformational change in cTnC, and revealed the role of Asp-88 in the binding of the drug to the NH2-terminal domain of cTnC. Furthermore, NMR studies performed on the NH2-terminal fragment of cTnC showed a spatial proximity between levosimendan and Met81, Met85, and Phe77 in the drug-protein complex. These data were used to build an optimized model of the drug-protein complex, in which levosimendan binds cTnC at the hydrophobic pocket of the NH2-terminal domain. The role of the binding of levosimendan to cTnC in the pharmacological action of this drug in vivo is discussed.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
