Nanomolar concentrations of synthetic peptides corresponding to the calmodulin-binding domain of skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase were found to inhibit calmodulin activation of seven well-characterized calmodulin-dependent enzymes: brain 61 kDa cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, brain adenylate cyclase, Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase, red blood cell membrane Ca++-pump ATPase, brain calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase (calcineurin), skeletal muscle phosphorylase b kinase, and brain multifunctional Ca++ (calmodulin)-dependent protein kinase. Inhibition could be entirely overcome by the addition of excess calmodulin. Thus, the myosin light chain kinase peptides used in this study may be useful antagonists for studying calmodulin-dependent enzymes and processes.

D009132 Muscles Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals. Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D009219 Myosin-Light-Chain Kinase An enzyme that phosphorylates myosin light chains in the presence of ATP to yield myosin-light chain phosphate and ADP, and requires calcium and CALMODULIN. The 20-kDa light chain is phosphorylated more rapidly than any other acceptor, but light chains from other myosins and myosin itself can act as acceptors. The enzyme plays a central role in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.
