Schematic of PKA-induced phosphorylation of sMyBP-C. Unphosphorylated sMyBP-C (top) binds both actin and myosin and attenuates the rate and force of contraction as well as impedes filament shortening. The phosphorylation of sMyBP-C (bottom) alleviates its linkage between the thin and thick filament, which enhances the rate and magnitude of force and speeds filament sliding.
