Isolation of the native form of chicken gizzard myosin light-chain kinase.
A simple and rapid procedure for the purification of the native form of chicken gizzard myosin light-chain kinase (Mr 136000) is described which eliminates problems of proteolysis previously encountered. During this procedure, a calmodulin-binding protein of Mr 141000, which previously co-purified with the myosin light-chain kinase, is removed and shown to be a distinct protein on the basis of ...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of Mammalian Myosin Light Chain Kinases
The phosphorylation of the calmodulin-dependent enzyme myosin light chain kinase, purified from bovine tracheal smooth muscle and human blood platelets, by the catalytic subunit of CAMP-dependent protein kinase and by cGMP-dependent protein kinase was investigated. When myosin light chain kinase which has calmodulin bound is phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of CAMP-dependent protein kina...
متن کاملMyosin light chain phosphorylation to the rescue.
A common cause of heart failure is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with a prevalence of at least 1 in 500 in adults (1); more recent data suggest that the prevalence of HCM may be as high as 1 in 200 (2). HCM is characterized by disorganized myocyte structure; formation of excess connective tissue (fibrosis); and, importantly, enlargement of cardiac myocytes that increases the ventricular wal...
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 کاملThe light chain composition of chicken brain myosin-Va: calmodulin, myosin-II essential light chains, and 8-kDa dynein light chain/PIN.
Class V myosins are a ubiquitously expressed family of actin-based molecular motors. Biochemical studies on myosin-Va from chick brain indicate that this myosin is a two-headed motor with multiple calmodulin light chains associated with the regulatory or neck domain of each heavy chain, a feature consistent with the regulatory effects of Ca(2+) on this myosin. In this study, the identity of thr...
