Purification 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...

Quantitation of myosin light chain phosphorylation in intact smooth muscle.

An improved method for quantitating the extent of myosin light chain (P-LC) phosphorylation in small smooth muscle samples is described. Native myosin was isolated from other cellular proteins in a crude supernatant fraction prepared from a few milligrams of bovine tracheal smooth muscle by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in the presence of sodium pyrophosphate (PPi). When potassium i...

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 ...

Myosin 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...

Sites phosphorylated in myosin light chain in contracting smooth muscle.

Purified smooth muscle myosin light chain can be phosphorylated at multiple sites by myosin light chain kinase and protein kinase C. We have determined the sites phosphorylated on myosin light chain in intact bovine tracheal smooth muscle. Stimulation with 10 microM carbachol resulted in 66 +/- 5% monophosphorylated and 11 +/- 2% diphosphorylated myosin light chain after 1 min, and 47 +/- 4% mo...
