Abstract excerpt
A murine leukemia retroviral vector was engineered to contain the DNA encoding either the wild-type, rat aorta 20-kDa myosin light chain (MLC20) or a mutant form of MLC20 in which Thr18 and Ser19 were mutated into alanines. These mutations result in a MLC20 that cannot be phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. An 11-amino acid epitope from c-myc was added to both MLC20 sequences to facilitate identification...
