Ca-induced contraction of cat esophageal circular smooth muscle cells
Cao, W., Q. Chen, U. D. Sohn, N. Kim, M. T. Kirber, K. M. Harnett, J. Behar, and P. Biancani. Ca-induced contraction of cat esophageal circular smooth muscle cells. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 280: C980–C992, 2001.— ACh-induced contraction of esophageal circular muscle (ESO) depends on Ca influx and activation of protein kinase Ce (PKCe). PKCe, however, is known to be Ca independent. To determine...
متن کاملZipper-interacting protein kinase induces Ca(2+)-free smooth muscle contraction via myosin light chain phosphorylation.
The inhibition of myosin phosphatase evokes smooth muscle contraction in the absence of Ca(2+), yet the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To this end, we have cloned smooth muscle zipper-interacting protein (ZIP) kinase cDNA. ZIP kinase is present in various smooth muscle tissues including arteries. Triton X-100 skinning did not diminish ZIP kinase content, suggesting that ZIP kinase as...

متن کاملCa -Dependent Rapid Ca Sensitization of Contraction in Arterial Smooth Muscle
Ca ion is a universal intracellular messenger that regulates numerous biological functions. In smooth muscle, Ca with calmodulin activates myosin light chain (MLC) kinase to initiate a rapid MLC phosphorylation and contraction. To test the hypothesis that regulation of MLC phosphatase is involved in the rapid development of MLC phosphorylation and contraction during Ca transient, we compared Ca...
متن کاملNa-Ca Exchange, Myoplasmic Ca Concentration, and Contraction of Arterial Smooth Muscle
Na-Ca exchange is proposed to be an important regulator of myoplasmic intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]|) and contraction in vascular smooth muscle. We investigated the role of Na-Ca exchange in regulating [Ca], in swine carotid arterial tissues that were loaded with aequorin to allow simultaneous measurement of [Ca], and force. Reversal of Na-Ca exchange, by reduction of extracellular Na co...
