An incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for myometrial activation from the quiescent pregnant state…
Caldesmon is phosphorylated by cdc2 kinase during mitosis, resulting in the dissociation of caldesmon from microfilaments. To…
We have previously shown that p21-activated kinase, PAK, induces Ca2+-independent contraction of Triton-skinned smooth muscle…
Smooth muscle myosin filaments are much less stable than the skeletal muscle counterpart. Smooth myosin requires higher…
Caldesmon is known to inhibit actin-activated myosin ATPase activity in solution, to inhibit force production when added to…
Caldesmon from chicken gizzard muscle has been examined for its ability to interact with caltropin using affinity chromatography…
Caldesmon is known to bind to smooth muscle myosin. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation of caldesmon completely blocks its…
Caldesmon is a major calmodulin- and actin-binding protein of smooth muscle which interacts with calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent…
