{beta}-Adrenergic Stimulation of L-type Ca2+ Channels in Cardiac Myocytes Requires the Distal Carboxyl Terminus of {alpha}1C but Not Serine 1928

{beta}-Adrenoceptor stimulation robustly increases cardiac L-type Ca2+ current (ICaL); yet the molecular mechanism of this effect is still not well understood. Previous reports have shown in vitro phosphorylation of a consensus protein kinase A site at serine 1928 on the carboxyl terminus of the {alpha}1C subunit; however, the functional role of this site has not been investigated in cardiac myocytes. Here, we examine the effects of truncating the distal carboxyl terminus of the {alpha}1C subunit at amino acid residue 1905 or mutating the putative protein kinase A at serine 1928 to alanine in adult guinea pig myocytes, using novel dihydropyridine-insensitive {alpha}1C adenoviruses, coexpressed with {beta}2 subunits. Expression of {alpha}1C truncated at 1905 dramatically attenuated the increase of peak ICaL induced by isoproterenol. However, the point mutation S1928A did not significantly attenuate the {beta}-adrenergic response. The findings indicate that the distal carboxyl-terminus of {alpha}1C plays an important role in {beta}-adrenergic upregulation of cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels, but that phosphorylation of serine 1928 is not required for this effect.
