MLC kinase phosphorylates the myosin light chain (MLC 20) at the Ser-19 residue. This phosphorylation causes a conformational change in the myosin, activating crossbridge cycling and causing the muscle to contract. Because myosin undergoes a conformational change, the muscle will stay contracted even if calcium and activated MLC kinase ...
Binding of calcium ion to this domain increases the affinity of MYLK binding to myosin light chain. This myosin binding domain is located at the C-Terminus end of the kinase. On the other side of the kinase at the N-Terminus end, sits the actin-binding domain, which allows MYLK to form interactions with actin filaments, keeping it in place. [4] [5]
Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
A myosin light chain is a light chain (small polypeptide subunit) of myosin. [1] Myosin light chains were discovered by Chinese biochemist Cao Tianqin (Tien-chin Tsao) when he was a graduate student at the University of Cambridge in England.
The myosin light chain phosphatase is inhibited to increase the gain or sensitivity of myosin light chain kinase to calcium. There are a number of cell signalling pathways believed to regulate this decrease in myosin light chain phosphatase: a RhoA-Rock kinase pathway, a Protein kinase C-Protein kinase C potentiation inhibitor protein 17 (CPI ...

RLC is phosphorylated by a cardiac-specific myosin light chain kinase , which was recently cloned. [17] Studies have supported a role for myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 2 (MYPT2, PPP1R12B) in the dephosphorylation of RLC. [18] Human RLC has an Asparagine at position 14 (Threonine in mouse) and a Serine at position 15 (same in mouse).
However, among well-studied phosphatase/kinase pairs, phosphatases exhibit greater variety than their kinase counterparts in both form and function; this may result from the lesser degree of conservation among phosphatases. [4] Calcineurin (PP2B) is a protein phosphatase enzyme involved in immune system function.
