Adenosine inhibits the positive inotropic and chronotropic effects of catecholamines on the heart. Incubation of a crude contractile protein fraction from rat heart with (..gamma..-/sup 32/P)ATP results in the phosphorylation of several proteins by endogenous protein kinases. The adenosine analog 5'-chloro 5'-deoxyadenosine inhibits the phosphorylation of a 29 kDa protein in this preparation. The protein has been identified as cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) by 2 dimensional gel electrophoresis, with a non-equilibrium pH gradient in the first direction and SDS-PAGE in the second, using purified cTn-I as standard. Addition of catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to the crude contractile fraction increases phosphorylation of cTn-I; this increase is inhibited by 5'-chloro 5'-deoxyadenosine and adenosine. Phosphorylation of purified cTn-I by the catalytic subunit is also inhibited by 5'-chloro 5'-deoxyadenosine. Fifty percent inhibition of phosphorylation by either endogenous or exogenous kinase was observed at approximately 50 ..mu..M 5'-chloro 5'-deoxyadenosine or adenosine, a concentration within the intracellular range during hypoxia.
