Telethonin, also known as Tcap, is a

limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and idiopathic cardiomyopathy
.

Structure

Telethonin is a 19.0 kDa protein composed of 167 amino acids.[8] Telethonin has a unique β-sheet structure, which enables antiparallel association with the Titin Z1-Z2 domains in cardiac and skeletal muscle.[9] Structural analysis of full-length Telethonin with the N-terminal region of Titin indicate that the C-terminus of Telethonin is critical for the dimerization of two Telethonin/Titin complexes into a higher oligomeric structure.[10]

Function

Telethonin expression is developmentally regulated in both

myofibrils at Z-discs.[12]

Telethonin forms a complex with

myocardium.[14] In addition, Telethonin interacts with the sodium channel Na(v)1.5, and alters the activation kinetics via doubling the window current.[15] These data suggest that Telethonin may constitute a mechano-electrical links between Z-lines and T-tubules. Further functional evidence for this has come from studies utilizing a Telethonin-knockout mouse (KO), which have shown that Telethonin is involved in T-tubule structure and function, as well as apoptosis in the heart. Telethonin KO animals showed preserved Titin anchoring at baseline, and instead showed a profound deficit during nuclear biomechanical stress in modulating the turnover of the proapoptotic p53 protein.[16] Telethonin KO animals also displayed calcium transient dysynchrony, T-tubule loss and depressed L-type calcium channel function.[17]

Telethonin is a substrate of titin kinase,

crossbridge kinetics.[20] Bis-phosphorylation of Telethonin specifically at sites Serine-157 and Serine-161 has been shown to be essential for normal T-tubule organization and intracellular calcium transient kinetics.[19]

The intracellular degradation of Telethonin is regulated by

MDM2 in a proteasomal-dependent yet ubiquitin-independent manner.[21] Telethonin specifically interacts with the pro-apoptotic protein Siva, suggesting that Telethonin may be involved in the mechanism underlying Coxsackievirus B3 infection in acute and chronic myocarditis[22]

Telethonin was also identified to be targeted and regulated by transcriptional activators

BMAL1, thus demonstrating that TCAP is a circadian regulated gene.[23]

Clinical Significance

Mutations in this gene are associated with

limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R7 (previously 2G),[24] hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,[25][26][27] dilated cardiomyopathy,[28][29] idiopathic cardiomyopathy,[30] and gastrointestinal smooth muscle-related diseases.[15]

Two mutations in Telethonin,

BMP10, Thr326Ile, showed decreased binding to Telethonin and increased extracellular secretion.[33]
