The segment of smooth muscle regulatory light chain essential for the phosphorylation dependent activation of actomyosin motor activity and the binding of myosin heavy chain was identified. The C-terminal domain of the 20-kDa light chain, which is less conserved than the rest of the polypeptide among various muscle types, was mutated by either deletion or substitution of amino acid residues and the mutant light chains were then incorporated into myosin by subunit exchange. Deletion of Lys149-Ala166 markedly reduced the affinity of the light chain for the heavy chain, whereas the C-terminal five residues, Lys167-Asp171, did not contribute to the binding affinity. Deletion of Lys149-Phe158 abolished the phosphorylation-dependent activation of actomyosin ATPase activity as well as superprecipitation activity. These results suggest that the C-terminal domain of the regulatory light chain is critical for transmitting the change in the conformation of the regulatory light chain induced by phosphorylation at Ser19 to the heavy chain.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
