We used phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (cRLC) by the cardiac isoform of its specific kinase to elucidate mechanisms of thick filament-mediated contractile regulation in ...

Myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation determines vascular contractile status. In addition to the classic Ca 2+-dependent MLC kinase (MLCK), another unidentified kinase(s) also contributes to MLC ...

Here, we show that phosphorylation of MEF2C on T 80 by skeletal myosin light chain kinase (skMLCK) enhances skeletal and not cardiac myogenesis. A phosphorylation‐deficient MEF2C mutant (MEFT80A) ...

Although MYLK is known as myosin II regulatory light-chain kinase, we have identified here an MLC phosphorylation–independent function for MYLK in complex with c-Src and Pyk2. This function of ...

In the process of identifying genes regulated by the cardiac homeobox transcription factor Nkx2-5, we identified a gene product highly homologous to the previously characterized skeletal and smooth ...
