Background: Changes in phosphorylation status of sarcomeric proteins allows rapid alteration of cardiac function. Results: Tropomyosin dephosphorylation results in myocyte hypertrophy with increases in SERCA2a (sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2ϩ ATPase 2a) expression and phospholamban phosphorylation but without functional changes. Conclusion: Tropomyosin phosphorylation can influence calcium regulatory proteins and cardiac remodeling in response to stress. Significance: This is the first report detailing that altering tropomyosin phosphorylation affects calcium handling proteins.
