Arterial smooth muscle myosin contains nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated light chains that appear as 4 spots on two-dimensional, Coomassie blue-stained gel electrophoretograms at the 20,000-molecular weight level (referred to as spots 4 through 1 in order of decreasing isoelectric points). Anti-light chain recognizes the proteins in all 4 light chain spots. Complete dephosphorylation of ligh...
