Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing of exon 24 (E24) of the myosin phosphatase regulatory subunit (Mypt1) tunes smooth muscle sensitivity to NO/cGMP-mediated vasorelaxation and thereby controls blood pressure (BP) in otherwise normal mice. This occurs via the toggling in or out of a C-terminal leucine zipper (LZ) motif required for hetero-dimerization with and activation by cGMP-dependent protein kinase cGK1α. Here we tested...
