Role of protein phosphatase type 1 in contractile functions: myosin phosphatase.
Protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) is involved in a wide range of cell activities (1), and even within the more restricted theme of contractile activity in muscle several processes may be considered. Important areas include regulation of ion channels (2), effect of phospholamban on Ca uptake by the SR (3), and phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of myosin II. Phosphorylation of myosin light chains ...
متن کاملModulation of myosin phosphatase targeting subunit and protein phosphatase 1 in the heart.
Myosin light chain 2 (LC2) phosphorylation is of both physiological and pathological importance to myocardial function. The phosphatase that directly dephosphorylates LC2 is a type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) that contains a catalytic subunit that complexes with a myosin-binding phosphatase targeting subunit (MYPT). The goal of the present study was to examine the role of MYPT in the regulation...
متن کاملProtein Phosphatase 1 β Paralogs Encode the Zebrafish Myosin Phosphatase Catalytic Subunit
BACKGROUND The myosin phosphatase is a highly conserved regulator of actomyosin contractility. Zebrafish has emerged as an ideal model system to study the in vivo role of myosin phosphatase in controlling cell contractility, cell movement and epithelial biology. Most work in zebrafish has focused on the regulatory subunit of the myosin phosphatase called Mypt1. In this work, we examined the cri...
متن کاملExpression of human protein phosphatase-1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae highlights the role of phosphatase isoforms in regulating eukaryotic functions.
Human (PP1) isoforms, PP1alpha, PP1beta, PP1gamma1, and PP1gamma2, differ in primary sequences at N and C termini that potentially bind cellular regulators and define their physiological functions. The GLC7 gene encodes the PP1 catalytic subunit with >80% sequence identity to human PP1 and is essential for viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In yeast, Glc7p regulates glycogen and protein syn...
متن کاملMyosin phosphatase regulatory pathways: different functions or redundant functions?
In many ways, the smooth muscle cell (SMC) has been at the forefront in defining cellular signaling pathways. For example, the initial description of agonist-dependent intracellular calcium ([Ca ]i) transients was made on vertebrate vascular SMC using aqueorin as the indicator.1 Delineation of nitric oxide (NO) and cGMP signaling was first accomplished in smooth muscle.2,3 And more recently, in...
