Bovine cardiac troponin isolated in a highly phosphorylated form shows four 31P-NMR signals [Beier, N., Jaquet, K., Schnackerz, K. & Heilmeyer, L.M.G. Jr (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 176, 327-334]. Troponin I, which contains phosphate covalently linked to serine-23 and/or -24 [Swiderek, K., Jaquet, K., Meyer, H. E. & Heilmeyer, L. M. G. Jr (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 176, 335-342], shows three resonances. Mg2(+)-saturation of holotroponin shifts these troponin I resonances to higher fields. Direct binding of Mg2+ to the phosphate groups can be excluded. Both these serine residues of troponin I, 23 and 24, are substrates for cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases as well as for protein kinase C. Isolated bovine cardiac troponin T contains 1.5 mol phosphoserine/mol protein, indicating that minimally two serine residues are phosphorylated. One phosphoserine residue is located at the N-terminus. An additional phosphoserine is located in the C-terminal cyanogen bromide fragment, CN4, which contains covalently bound phosphate. Protein kinase C phosphorylates serine-194, thus demonstrating exposure of this residue on the surface of holotoponin.
