Citron kinase, a Rho-dependent kinase, induces di-phosphorylation of regulatory light chain of myosin II.
Citron kinase is a Rho-effector protein kinase that is related to Rho-associated kinases of ROCK/ROK/Rho-kinase family. Both ROCK and citron kinase are suggested to play a role in cytokinesis. However, no substrates are known for citron kinase. We found that citron kinase phosphorylated regulatory light chain (MLC) of myosin II at both Ser-19 and Thr-18 in vitro. Unlike ROCK, however, citron ki...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Myosin Light Chain Phosphorylation by Rho-kinase
Myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation plays important roles in various cellular functions such as cellular morphogenesis, motility, and smooth muscle contraction. MLC phosphorylation is determined by the balance between activities of Rho-associated kinase (Rho-kinase) and myosin phosphatase. An impaired balance between Rho-kinase and myosin phosphatase activities induces the abnormal sustain...
متن کاملDepolarization induces Rho-Rho kinase-mediated myosin light chain phosphorylation in kidney tubular cells.
Myosin-based contractility plays important roles in the regulation of epithelial functions, particularly paracellular permeability. However, the triggering factors and the signaling pathways that control epithelial myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation have not been elucidated. Herein we show that plasma membrane depolarization provoked by distinct means, including high extracellular K(+), t...
متن کاملA subset of protein kinase C phosphorylation sites on the myosin II regulatory light chain inhibits phosphorylation by myosin light chain kinase.
Protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylates the regulatory light chains of smooth muscle and cytoplasmic myosin II at three known sites: S1, S2, and T9 [Ikebe, M., Hartshorne, D. J., & Elzinga, M. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9569-9573]. Phosphorylation at these sites inhibits the actomyosin ATPase and inhibits phosphorylation of S19 on the regulatory light chain by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) [Ni...
متن کاملRho/Rho-Kinase–mediated Myosin Light Chain Phosphorylation in Mouse Platelets
Platelets respond to various stimuli with rapid changes in shape followed by aggregation and secretion of their granule contents. Platelets lacking the a -subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein G q do not aggregate and degranulate but still undergo shape change after activation through thromboxane-A 2 (TXA 2 ) or thrombin receptors. In contrast to thrombin, the TXA 2 mimetic U46619 led to the ...
