1. Recombinant, activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (3.3 microM; p42mapk) phosphorylated caldesmon in phasic (rabbit portal vein) and tonic (rabbit femoral artery) smooth muscle strips permeabilized with Triton X-100. 2. Phosphorylation of caldesmon by p42mapk neither induced contraction of relaxed smooth muscle nor affected the Ca2+ sensitivity of submaximally contracted permeabilized phasic or tonic smooth muscle.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002148 Calmodulin-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind calmodulin. They are found in many tissues and have a variety of functions including F-actin cross-linking properties, inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and calcium and magnesium ATPases.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.
