Abstract

It has been known for some time that agonist-induced contractions of vascular smooth muscle are often associated with a sensitization of the contractile apparatus to intracellular Ca2+. One mechanism that has been suggested to explain Ca2+ sensitization is inhibition of myosin phosphatase activity. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that differential localization of the phosphatase might be associated with its inhibition. Quantitative confocal microscopy of freshly dissociated, fully contractile smooth muscle cells was used in parallel with measurements of myosin light chain and myosin phosphatase phosphorylation. The results indicate that, in the smooth muscle cells, the catalytic and targeting subunits of the phosphatase are dissociated from each other in an agonist-specific manner and that the dissociation is accompanied by a slower rate of myosin phosphorylation. Targeting of myosin phosphatase to the cell membrane precedes the dissociation of subunits and is associated with phosphorylation of the targeting subunit at a Rho-associated kinase (ROK) phosphorylation site. The phosphorylation and membrane translocation of the targeting subunit are inhibited by a ROK inhibitor. This dissociation of subunits may provi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.
