The cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA2a) plays a critical role in maintaining the intracellular calcium homeostasis during cardiac contraction and relaxation. It has been well documented over the years that altered expression and activity of SERCA2a can lead to systolic and diastolic dysfunction. The activity of SERCA2a is regulated by two structurally similar proteins, phospholamban (PLB) and sarcolipin (SLN). Although, the relevance of PLB has been extensively studied over the years, the role SLN in cardiac physiology is an emerging field of study. This review focuses on the advances in the understanding of the regulation of SERCA2a by SLN and PLB. In particular, it highlights the similarities and differences between the two proteins and their roles in cardiac patho-physiology.
心脏肌浆网钙ATP酶(SERCA2a)在心脏收缩和舒张过程中维持细胞内钙稳态方面起着关键作用。多年来已有充分记录表明,SERCA2a表达和活性的改变可导致收缩和舒张功能障碍。SERCA2a的活性受两种结构相似的蛋白质——受磷蛋白(PLB)和肌浆蛋白(SLN)调节。尽管多年来对PLB的相关性进行了广泛研究,但SLN在心脏生理学中的作用仍是一个新兴的研究领域。本综述重点关注对SLN和PLB调节SERCA2a的认识进展。特别是,它突出了这两种蛋白质之间的异同及其在心脏病理生理学中的作用。
