چکیده
A novel compound MS-444 was isolated from the culture broth of a bacterial strain KY7123. The strain was identified as Micromonospora sp. from its morphological and cultural characteristics. The compound inhibited the activity of purified smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase with an IC50 value of 10 microM. The production, isolation, physico-chemical properties and biological activities of MS-444 were described in this paper.

Wortmannin, a microbial product inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase.
We have found that a fungal strain, Talaromyces wortmannin KY12420, produces a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). This active product, designated as MS-54, was isolated and purified from the culture broth of the fungus and identified as wortmannin. The inhibition of MLCK by wortmannin was prevented by a high concentration of ATP. The activity of the catalytic do...
متن کاملMS-282a and MS-282b, new inhibitors of calmodulin-activated myosin light chain kinase from Streptomyces tauricus ATCC 27470.
MS-282a and MS-282b were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces tauricus ATCC 27470 as inhibitors of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). MS-282a and MS-282b inhibited the activity of chicken gizzard MLCK with IC50 values of 3.8 microM and 5.2 microM, respectively. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C were not inhibite...
متن کاملMatrine inhibits diethylnitrosamine-induced HCC proliferation in rats through inducing apoptosis via p53, Bax-dependent caspase-3 activation pathway and down-regulating MLCK overexpression
The proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is one of the leading causes of liver cancer mortality in humans. The inhibiting effects of matrine on HCC cell proliferation have been studied, but the mechanism of that inhibition has not been fully elucidated. Since, apoptosis plays an important role in HCC cell proliferation. We examined the apoptosis-inducing effect of matrine on tu...

متن کاملZipper-interacting Protein Kinase Induces Ca-free Smooth Muscle Contraction via Myosin Light Chain Phosphorylation*
The inhibition of myosin phosphatase evokes smooth muscle contraction in the absence of Ca, yet the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To this end, we have cloned smooth muscle zipper-interacting protein (ZIP) kinase cDNA. ZIP kinase is present in various smooth muscle tissues including arteries. Triton X-100 skinning did not diminish ZIP kinase content, suggesting that ZIP kinase associ...
