The calcium sensitizer drug MCI-154 binds the structural C-terminal domain of cardiac troponin C

The compound MCI-154 was previously shown to increase the calcium sensitivity of cardiac muscle contraction. Using solution NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that MCI-154 interacts with the calcium-sensing subunit of the cardiac troponin complex, cardiac troponin C (cTnC). Surprisingly, however, it b...
