Effects of relaxin on rat uterine myosin light chain kinase activity and myosin light chain phosphorylation.
Isometrically suspended uteri from estrogen-primed rats were stimulated with prostaglandin F2 alpha and then exposed to relaxin. Relaxin-dependent decreases in the ratio of phosphorylated to total myosin light chains (MLC) and in MLC kinase activity, measured in the presence of 0.5 mg/ml of uterine myosin and the absence and presence of Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM), were observed. The time-course and ...
متن کاملMyosin light chain kinase and myosin light chain phosphatase from Dictyostelium: effects of reversible phosphorylation on myosin structure and function
We have partially purified myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) from Dictyostelium discoideum. MLCK was purified 4,700-fold with a yield of approximately 1 mg from 350 g of cells. The enzyme is very acidic as suggested by its tight binding to DEAE. Dictyostelium MLCK has an apparent native molecular mass on HPLC G3000SW of approximately 30,000 D. Mg2+ is re...
متن کاملMyosin light-chain kinase of smooth muscle stimulates myosin ATPase activity without phosphorylating myosin light chain.
Myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) of smooth muscle is multifunctional, being composed of N-terminal actin-binding domain, central kinase domain, and C-terminal myosin-binding domain. The kinase domain is the best characterized; this domain activates the interaction of smooth-muscle myosin with actin by phosphorylating the myosin light chain. We have recently shown that the Met-1-Pro-41 sequence ...
متن کاملEffects of purified myosin light chain kinase on myosin light chain phosphorylation and catecholamine secretion in digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells.
Many non-muscle cells including chromaffin cells contain actin and myosin. The 20,000 dalton light chain subunits of myosin can be phosphorylated by a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent enzyme, myosin light chain kinase. In tissues other than striated muscle, light chain phosphorylation is required for actin-induced myosin ATPase activity. The possibility that actin and myosin are involved in catecholam...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of Mammalian Myosin Light Chain Kinases
The phosphorylation of the calmodulin-dependent enzyme myosin light chain kinase, purified from bovine tracheal smooth muscle and human blood platelets, by the catalytic subunit of CAMP-dependent protein kinase and by cGMP-dependent protein kinase was investigated. When myosin light chain kinase which has calmodulin bound is phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of CAMP-dependent protein kina...
