Regulation of the interaction between smooth muscle myosin and actin.
Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain of smooth muscle myosin efficiently regulates the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin filaments in solution and actin movement in an in vitro motility assay, independently of thin-filament regulatory proteins. Filaments containing both phosphorylated and dephosphorylated heads move actin at intermediate rates, depending on the relative proport...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Actin-Myosin Interaction
It is proposed that force generation in muscle contraction occurs through a transition from a weakly bound state to a strongly bound state of myosin on actin during the ATPase reaction cycle. The chapters in this book probe the structural details of these interactions, with particular attention to the specific sites of interaction on each protein, the structural and dynamics properties of the b...
متن کاملActin-induced closure of the actin-binding cleft of smooth muscle myosin.
The putative actin-binding interface of myosin is separated by a large cleft that extends into the base of the nucleotide binding pocket, suggesting that it may be important for mediating the nucleotide-dependent changes in the affinity for myosin on actin. We have genetically engineered a truncated version of smooth muscle myosin containing the motor domain and the essential light chain-bindin...
متن کاملMyosin phosphorylation triggers actin polymerization in vascular smooth muscle.
A variety of contractile stimuli increases actin polymerization, which is essential for smooth muscle contraction. However, the mechanism(s) of actin polymerization associated with smooth muscle contraction is not fully understood. We tested the hypothesis that phosphorylated myosin triggers actin polymerization. The present study was conducted in isolated intact or beta-escin-permeabilized rat...
متن کاملBlebbistatin inhibits the chemotaxis of vascular smooth muscle cells by disrupting the myosin II-actin interaction.
Blebbistatin is a myosin II-specific inhibitor. However, the mechanism and tissue specificity of the drug are not well understood. Blebbistatin blocked the chemotaxis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) toward sphingosylphosphorylcholine (IC(50) = 26.1 +/- 0.2 and 27.5 +/- 0.5 microM for GbaSM-4 and A7r5 cells, respectively) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (IC(50) = 32.3 +/- 0.9 and 3...
