Acetylcholine-induced phosphorylation and membrane translocation of CPI-17 in bronchial smooth muscle of rats.
A translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) from cytosol to plasma membrane has been reported as an association with agonist-induced Ca2+ sensitization in smooth muscle contraction. Therefore, it is possible that a downstream target of PKC, CPI-17 [PKC-potentiated inhibitory protein for heterotrimeric myosin light chain (MLC) phosphatase of 17 kDa], might also be translocated to membrane when act...
متن کاملTyrosine phosphorylation as a convergent pathway of heterotrimeric G protein- and rho protein-mediated Ca2+ sensitization of smooth muscle of rabbit mesenteric artery.
1. The aim of this study was to determine whether different signal transduction mechanisms underlie the Ca2+ sensitizing effects of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP(gamma)S) and receptor agonists on beta-escin-skinned smooth muscle of rabbit mesenteric artery. 2. In the homogenate of the beta-escin-skinned arterial strip, C3 exoenzyme of Clostridium botulinum catalyzed the [32P]-ADP-rib...
متن کاملCa2+-dependent rapid Ca2+ sensitization of contraction in arterial smooth muscle.
Ca(2+) ion is a universal intracellular messenger that regulates numerous biological functions. In smooth muscle, Ca(2+) with calmodulin activates myosin light chain (MLC) kinase to initiate a rapid MLC phosphorylation and contraction. To test the hypothesis that regulation of MLC phosphatase is involved in the rapid development of MLC phosphorylation and contraction during Ca(2+) transient, we...
متن کاملCa2+ oscillations, Ca2+ sensitization, and contraction activated by protein kinase C in small airway smooth muscle
Protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in the regulation of smooth muscle cell (SMC) contraction and may contribute to airway hyperresponsiveness. Here, we combined optical and biochemical analyses of mouse lung slices to determine the effects of PKC activation on Ca(2+) signaling, Ca(2+) sensitivity, protein phosphorylation, and contraction in SMCs of small intrapulmonary airways. We found...
متن کاملRole of G proteins in agonist-induced Ca2+ sensitization of tracheal smooth muscle.
Increased sensitivity to intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) is an important mechanism for agonist-induced contraction of airway smooth muscle, but the signal transduction pathways involved are uncertain. We studied Ca2+ sensitization with acetylcholine (ACh) and endothelin (ET)-1 in porcine tracheal smooth muscle by measuring contractions at a constant [Ca2+] in strips permeabilized with...
