Myosin light chain kinase structure function analysis using bacterial expression.
A 40-kDa fragment of chicken smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase was produced and partially purified from a bacterial expression system. This fragment exhibits calmodulin binding and substrate phosphorylation properties similar to those of the isolated chicken gizzard enzyme. A series of 3'-deletion mutants was prepared and used to produce proteins with the same NH2 terminus but with COOH t...
متن کاملMyosin light chain kinase and myosin light chain phosphatase from Dictyostelium: effects of reversible phosphorylation on myosin structure and function
We have partially purified myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) from Dictyostelium discoideum. MLCK was purified 4,700-fold with a yield of approximately 1 mg from 350 g of cells. The enzyme is very acidic as suggested by its tight binding to DEAE. Dictyostelium MLCK has an apparent native molecular mass on HPLC G3000SW of approximately 30,000 D. Mg2+ is re...
متن کاملThyroid hormones inhibit platelet function and myosin light chain kinase.
We examined the extranuclear effects of thyroid hormones on human platelets. Pretreatment with DL-thyroxine or DL-triiodothyronine inhibited collagen-induced aggregation, in a dose-dependent manner, but other derivatives of thyroid hormone had no significant effects. In contrast to collagen, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced aggregation was not affected by thyroid hormones at the sam...
متن کاملMyosin 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...
متن کاملMyosin 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 ...
