title: Analysis of myosin light chain phosphopeptides in phorbol dibutyrate-contracted artery.
abstract: The incorporation of [32P]phosphate into the 20 kDa myosin light chain of phorbol dibutyrate-contracted artery was slightly increased as compared to that of resting muscle. Addition of K+ to the 1-h phorbol dibutyrate-contracted artery immediately doubled the force and greatly increased the light chain phosphorylation. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping of light chain from phorbol dibutyrate-contracted muscle showed distinct peptides phosphorylated on serine residues by myosin light chain kinase and protein kinase C. In addition, the peptide phosphorylated on threonine residue by protein kinase C was revealed for the first time in intact muscle. Upon addition of K+, the distribution of phosphopeptides shifted toward the myosin light chain kinase catalyzed pattern.
