Myotonic dystrophy protein kinase phosphorylates the myosin phosphatase targeting subunit and inhibits myosin phosphatase activity
30 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) and Rho-kinase are related. An important function of Rho-kinase is to phosphorylate the myosin-binding subunit of myosin phosphatase (MYPT1) and inhibit phosphatase activity. Experiments were carried out to determine if DMPK could function similarly. MYPT1 was phosphorylated by DMPK. The phosphorylation site(s) was in the C-terminal part of the molecule. DMPK was not...
