Biochemical studies have shown that wortmannin is an inhibitor of myosin light chain (MLC) kinase (Nakanishi et al. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267: 2157-2163). To investigate the role of MLC kinase in smooth muscle contractions, we examined the effects of wortmannin on isolated smooth muscles of the rat

When the rabbit thoracic artery was stimulated with submaximal concentrations of agonist [40 mM K+, 30 microM prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) or 7 microM histamine], about 90% of a maximal contraction occurred. Each agonist induced a rapid development of contraction followed by a sustained respo

The mechanism responsible for the regulation of smooth muscle tone at low levels of myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation is still poorly understood. According to one model, so-called latchbridges, which contribute to force maintenance at low levels of MLC phosphorylation, are generated by dephos
