The actin-binding protein calponin has been previously implicated in actin cytoskeletal regulation and is thought to act as an actin stabilizer, but the mechanism of its function is poorly understood. To investigate this underlying physical mechanism

The cellular actin cytoskeleton plays a central role in the ability of cells to properly sense, propagate, and respond to external stresses and other mechanical stimuli. Calponin, an actin-binding protein found both in muscle and non-muscle cells, ha

Ca2+/ Calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a ubiquitous protein that has numerous functions in fundamental cellular processes including metabolism, cell cycle control [1], cell shape variation, gene transcription [2] and the regul

CaMKII is a calcium and calmodulin-activated kinase that has been shown to regulate learning and memory in the brain, and contractility in blood vessels. Following Ca activation, CaMKII autophosphorylates, gaining a calcium-independent autonomous act

In late pregnancy rapidly increasing fetal growth dramatically increases uterine wall tension. This process has been implicated in the activation of the myometrium for labor, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here, we tested, using a rat model

Subcellular targeting of kinases controls their activation and access to substrates. Although Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is known to regulate differentiated smooth muscle cell (dSMC) contractility, the importance of target

Six variants of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIγ were isolated from a ferret-aorta smooth-muscle cDNA library. Variant G-2 is generated by a novel alternative polyadenylation, utilizing a site contained in an intron. The last 77 residues of t

It has been known for some time that agonist-induced contractions of vascular smooth muscle are often associated with a sensitization of the contractile apparatus to intracellular Ca 2+ . One mechanism that has been suggested to explain Ca 2+ sensiti

To assess the functional significance of tethering actin to myosin by caldesmon in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction, we investigated the effects of synthetic peptides, containing the myosin-binding sequences in the N-terminal region of cal

1. The purpose of this study was to determine if corpus cavernosum smooth muscle expresses functional postsynaptic alpha2-adrenoceptors (AR). 2. The alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist UK 14,304 elicited concentration-dependent contractions in rabbit corpus
