Expression of smooth muscle and nonmuscle myosin heavy chains in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.
We explored the hypothesis that discrepancies in the literature concerning the nature of myosin expression in cultured smooth muscle cells are due to the appearance of a new form of myosin heavy chain (MHC) in vitro. Previously, we used a very porous sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis system to detect two MHCs in intact smooth muscles (SM1 and SM2) which differ by less than 2% in molecu...
متن کاملExpression of smooth muscle myosin heavy chains and unloaded shortening in single smooth muscle cells.
The functional significance of the variable expression of the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC) tail isoforms, SM1 and SM2, was examined at the mRNA level (which correlates with the protein level) in individual permeabilized rabbit arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The length of untethered single permeabilized SMCs was monitored during unloaded shortening in response to increased Ca2...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of vertebrate smooth muscle and nonmuscle myosin heavy chains in vitro and in intact cells.
In this article we summarize our recent experiments studying the phosphorylation of vertebrate myosin heavy chains by protein kinase C and casein kinase II. Protein kinase C phosphorylates vertebrate non-muscle myosin heavy chains both in vitro and in intact cells. A single serine residue near the end of the helical portion of the myosin rod is the only site phosphorylated in a variety of verte...
متن کاملNonmuscle Myosin Motor of Smooth Muscle
Nonmuscle myosin can generate force and shortening in smooth muscle, as revealed by studies of the urinary bladder from mice lacking smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC) but expressing the nonmuscle myosin heavy chains A and B (NM-MHC A and B; Morano, I., G.X. Chai, L.G. Baltas, V. Lamounier-Zepter, G. Lutsch, M. Kott, H. Haase, and M. Bader. 2000. Nat. Cell Biol. 2:371-375). Intracellular...
متن کاملSmooth muscle actin and myosin expression in cultured airway smooth muscle cells.
In this study, the expression of smooth muscle actin and myosin was examined in cultures of rat tracheal smooth muscle cells. Protein and mRNA analyses demonstrated that these cells express α- and γ-smooth muscle actin and smooth muscle myosin and nonmuscle myosin-B heavy chains. The expression of the smooth muscle specific actin and myosin isoforms was regulated in the same direction when grow...
