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
## Abstract Myosin lightโchain kinase (MLCK) comprised of Nโterminal actinโbinding domain, central catalytic domain, and Cโterminal myosinโbinding domain. It exerted not only kinase activity to phosphorylate 20 kDa regulatory light chain of smooth muscle but also exerted nonโkinase activity on myos
The catalytic activity of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCKase) requires the presence of calcium and calmodulin [CM;
