OBJECTIVES: To assess the time course of phosphorylation of phospholamban residues, the underlying mechanisms determining these phosphorylations, and their functional impact on the mechanical recovery during acidosis. METHODS: Langendorff perfused rat hearts were submitted to 30 min of hypercapnic acidosis. Contractility, relaxation, and phosphorylation of phospholamban residues, immunodetected by specific antibodies, were determined. RESULTS: Acidosis produced a mechanical impairment followed by a spontaneous recovery, most of which occurred within the first 3 min of acidosis (early recovery). During this period, contractility and relaxation recovered by 67+/-9% and 77+/-11%, respectively, from its maximal depression, together with an increase in the Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)-dependent phosphorylation of Thr(17). The CaMKII inhibitor KN-93, at 1, 5 and 10 microM, decreased Thr(17) phosphorylation to basal levels and produced a similar impairment of the early relaxation recovery (50%). However, only 5 and 10 microM KN-93 inhibited the early contractile recovery and completely blunted the late mechanical recovery. Inhibition of the reverse mode of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger by KB-R7943 decreased Thr(17) phosphorylation but accelerated the early contractile recovery. CONCLUSIONS: CaMKII-dependent Thr(17) phosphorylation significantly increased at the beginning of acidosis, is responsible for 50% of the early relaxation recovery, and is linked to the activation of the reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+) mode. The early contractile recovery and the late mechanical recovery are dependent on CaMKII but independent of the phosphorylation of the Thr(17) residue of phospholamban. The reverse Na(+)/Ca(2+) mode has an additional negative effect that opposes the early mechanical recovery.

This paper examines the relative effectiveness of sulfamate and sulfamide groups for the inhibition of carbonic anhydrase-II (CA-II). Topiramate (1) and its sulfamide analogue 4, and 4,5-cyclic sulfate 6 and its sulfamide analogue 5, were compared for inhibition of human CA-II. A colorimetric assay, based on the pH shift that accompanies hydration of carbon dioxide, and an esterase assay were used. For these bioisosteric pairs, 1/4 and 6/5, the sulfamate compound was markedly more potent than its sulfamide counterpart. A similar, large difference in potency was also observed for the sulfamate/sulfamide pairs 14/15 and 16/17. These results indicate that the sulfamide moiety is not particularly suitable for obtaining potent carbonic anhydrase inhibition. A discussion of this structure-activity relationship with respect to the interactions of 1 and 6 with CA-II from published X-ray data is presented. A metabolic acidosis study was performed in rats with 1, 4, 6, and 2, and the results are discussed with respect to the degree of inhibition of CA-II in vivo.
