Abstract
Ca2+-sensitization of smooth muscle occurs through inhibition of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) leading to an increase in the MLCK:MLCP activity ratio. MLCP is inhibited through phosphorylation of its regulatory subunit (MYPT-1) following activation of the RhoA/Rho kinase (ROK) pathway or through phosphorylation of the PP1c inhibitory protein, CPI-17, by PKC δ or ROK. Here, we explore the crosstalk between these two modes of MLCP inhibition in a smooth muscle of a natural CPI-17 knockout, chicken amnion. GTPγS elicited Ca2+-sensitized force which was relaxed by GDI or Y-27632, however, U46619, carbachol and phorbol ester failed to induce Ca2+-sensitized force, but were rescued by recombinant CPI-17, and were sensitive to Y-27632 inhibition. In the presence, but not absence, of CPI-17, U46619 also significantly increased GTP·RhoA. There was no affect on MYPT-1 phosphorylation at T695, however, T850 phosphorylation increased in response to GTPγS stimulation. Together, these data suggest a role for CPI-17 upstream of RhoA activation possibly through activation of another PP1 family member targeted by CPI-17Keywords
