Hyperpermeable cells from rat heart contain a cAMP-dependent system that can increase the maximum Ca-activated force (contractility) of the contractile proteins. In two different conditions where the relative concentration of the myosin isozymes changes, i.e., hypothyroidism and aging, the size of the increase in contractility from activation of the cAMP-regulated system varies closely with the relative concentration of V1, the isozyme of myosin with the greatest Ca- and actin-activated ATPase activity. The existence of another system for the regulation of the slow isozyme V3 has been demonstrated, and it may be inhibited by beta-adrenergic activity. The possibility of cAMP-dependent myosin regulation of contraction in addition to Ca regulation of troponin is considered. Phosphorylation of the contractile proteins themselves is not required for the increased contractility.
