Signaling to Myosin Regulatory Light Chain in Sarcomeres
22 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) phosphorylation in skeletal and cardiac muscles modulates Ca(2+)-dependent troponin regulation of contraction. RLC is phosphorylated by a dedicated Ca(2+)-dependent myosin light chain kinase in fast skeletal muscle, where biochemical properties of RLC kinase and phosphatase converge to provide a biochemical memory for RLC phosphorylation and post-activation potentiation of...
