Dynamic 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 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 کاملRegulation of LPA-promoted myofibroblast contraction: role of Rho, myosin light chain kinase, and myosin light chain phosphatase.
Myofibroblasts generate the contractile force responsible for wound healing and pathological tissue contracture. In this paper the stress-relaxed collagen lattice model was used to study lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-promoted myofibroblast contraction and the role of the small GTPase Rho and its downstream targets Rho kinase and myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCPPase) in regulating myofibroblas...
متن کاملEffects 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 کاملInhibition of myosin light chain kinase by p21-activated kinase.
p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are implicated in the cytoskeletal changes induced by the Rho family of guanosine triphosphatases. Cytoskeletal dynamics are primarily modulated by interactions of actin and myosin II that are regulated by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)-mediated phosphorylation of the regulatory myosin light chain (MLC). p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) phosphorylates MLCK, resulting...
