JNK2, a Newly-Identified SERCA2 Enhancer, Augments an Arrhythmic [Ca]SR Leak-Load Relationship

RATIONALE: We recently discovered pivotal contributions of stress kinase JNK2 (c-Jun N-terminal kinase isoform 2) in increased risk of atrial fibrillation through enhanced diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium (Ca2+) leak via RyR2 (ryanodine receptor isoform 2). However, the role of JNK2 in the function of the SERCA2 (SR Ca2+-ATPase), essential in maintaining SR Ca2+ content cycling during each heartbeat, is completely unknown.
