Phosphorylation-induced structural changes in smooth muscle myosin regulatory light chain.
We have performed complementary time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate structural changes in the phosphorylation domain (PD) of smooth muscle regulatory light chain (RLC) bound to myosin. PD is absent in crystal structures, leaving uncertainty about the mechanism of regulation. Donor-acceptor pairs of probe...
متن کاملStructural requirement of the regulatory light chain of smooth muscle myosin as a substrate for myosin light chain kinase.
The substrate structure required for skeletal and smooth muscle myosin light chain kinases (MLC kinase) was studied by using various mutant regulatory light chains of smooth muscle myosin. The deletion of the NH2-terminal 10 residues did not greatly affect the kinetic parameters of smooth MLC kinase; however, deletion of an additional 3 residues, Lys11-Arg13, prevented phosphorylation. In contr...
متن کاملQuantitation 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...
متن کاملMyosin light chain kinase phosphorylation in tracheal smooth muscle.
Purified myosin light chain kinase from smooth muscle is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, and the multifunctional calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Because phosphorylation in a specific site (site A) by any one of these kinases desensitizes myosin light chain kinase to activation by Ca2+/calmodulin, kinase phosphorylation could play an important rol...
متن کاملThermodynamic and structural basis of phosphorylation-induced disorder-to-order transition in the regulatory light chain of smooth muscle myosin.
We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of the phosphorylation domain (PD) of the regulatory light chain (RLC) of smooth muscle myosin, to gain insight into the thermodynamic principles governing the phosphorylation-induced disorder-to-order transition. Simulations were performed in explicit water under near-physiological conditions, starting with an ideal alpha-helix. In the absence o...
