Myosin 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 کاملArdipusilloside-I stimulates gastrointestinal motility and phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin by myosin light chain kinase
Ardipusilloside-I is a natural triterpenoid saponin, which was isolated from Ardisia pusilla A. DC. The aim of the study was to evaluate the stimulation of ardipusilloside-I on gastrointestinal motility in vitro and in vivo. The experiment of smooth muscle contraction directly monitored the contractions of the isolated jejunal segment (IJS) in different contractile states, and the effects of ar...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase.
Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase was purified from turkey gizzards. The enzyme was extracted from washed myofibrils and the final step of purification was affinity chromatography using calmodulin coupled to Sepharose 4B. The purified enzyme was characterized with respect to its physical, chemical, and kinetic properties. It has a molecular weight of 130,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate poly...
متن کاملMyosin light chain kinase phosphorylation in tracheal smooth muscle.
Purified myosin light chain kinase from smooth muscle is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, and the multifunctional calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Because phosphorylation in a specific site (site A) by any one of these kinases desensitizes myosin light chain kinase to activation by Ca2+/calmodulin, kinase phosphorylation could play an important rol...
متن کاملMyosin light chain kinase expression during smooth muscle development.
The expression of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) was investigated during chicken gizzard development. The molecular weight and the antigenic properties of MLCK did not change during development. The use of anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enabled us to distinguish between MLCKs from post-hatched and adult chickens. A partial amino acid sequence determ...
