Phospholamban, also known as PLN, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLN gene.[1] Phospholamban is a 52-amino acid integral membrane protein that regulates the Ca2+ pump in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle cells.[2]
Contents |
[edit] Function
The protein encoded by this gene is found as a pentamer and is a major substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase ( PKA ) in cardiac muscle. The protein is an inhibitor of cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca++-ATPase ( SERCA ) in the unphosphorylated state, but inhibition is relieved upon phosphorylation of the protein. The subsequent activation of the Ca++ pump leads to shorter intervals between contractions, thereby contributing to the lusitropic response elicited in heart by beta-agonists. The protein is a key regulator of cardiac diastolic function . Mutations in this gene are a cause of inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure.[3]
When phospholamban is phosphorylated by PKA its ability to inhibit the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA) is lost.[4] Thus, activators of PKA, such as the beta-adrenergic agonist epinephrine (released by sympathetic stimulation), may enhance the rate of cardiac myocyte relaxation. In addition, since SERCA is more active, the next action potential will cause an increased release of calcium, resulting in increased contraction (positive inotropic effect). When phospholamban is not phosphorylated, such as when PKA is inactive, it can interact with and inhibit SERCA. The overall effect of phospholamban is to decrease contractility and the rate of muscle relaxation , thereby decreasing stroke volume and heart rate, respectively.[5]
[edit] Clinical significance
Gene knockout of phospholamban results in animals with hyperdynamic hearts, with little apparent negative consequence.[6]
Mutations in this gene are a cause of inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure .[7]
[edit] Discovery
Phospholamban was discovered by Arnold Katz and coworkers in 1974.[8]
[edit] Interactions
PLN has been shown to interact with SLN[9][10] and ATP2A1.[10][11][12]

Phospholamban Provide feedback
The regulation of calcium levels across the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum involves the interplay of many membrane proteins. Phospholamban is a 52 residue integral membrane protein that is involved in reversibly inhibiting the Ca(2+) pump and regulating the flow of Ca ions across the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane during muscle contraction and relaxation [1]. Phospholamban is thought to form a pentamer in the membrane [1].

InterPro entry IPR005984
Phospholamban (PLB) is a small protein (52 amino acids) that regulates the affinity of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) for calcium. PLB is present in cardiac myocytes, in slow-twitch and smooth muscle and is expressed also in aorta endothelial cells in which it could play a role in tissue relaxation. The phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of phospholamban removes and restores, respectively, its inhibitory activity on SERCA2a. It has in fact been shown that phospholamban, in its non-phosphorylated form, binds to SERCA2a and inhibits this pump by lowering its affinity for Ca2+, whereas the phosphorylated form does not exert the inhibition. PLB is phosphorylated at two sites, namely at Ser-16 for a cAMP-dependent phosphokinase and at Thr-17 for a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphokinase, phosphorylation at Ser-16 being a prerequisite for the phosphorylation at Thr-17.
The structure of a 36-amino-acid-long N-terminal fragment of human phospholamban phosphorylated at Ser-16 and Thr-17 and Cys36Ser mutated was determined from nuclear magnetic resonance data. The peptide assumes a conformation characterised by two alpha-helices connected by an irregular strand, which comprises the amino acids from Arg-13 to Pro-21. The proline is in a trans conformation. The two phosphate groups on Ser-16 and Thr-17 are shown to interact preferably with the side chains of Arg-14 and Arg-13, respectively [PUBMED:12080135].

PhospholambanStructures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the Phospholamban domain has been found. There are 15 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.
