Phosphorylation of myosin is crucial to smooth muscle contraction. The degree of myosin phosphorylation is dependent in part by the activity of myosin phosphatase. Recent findings suggest that this enzyme can be regulated, which has lead to interest in characterizing this phosphatase. Myosin phosphatase seems to be comprised of three subunits (catalytic subunit of type 1 phosphatase-δ (PP1) and two non-catalytic subunits, large and small (M20)). Studies suggest that the large subunit is a targeting subunit and is termed myosin phosphatase target subunit (MYPT). MYPT has been shown to be a substrate for the Rho-associated kinase (ROK). ROK mediates an agonist-induced increase in myosin phosphorylation and force by inhibiting myosin light chain phosphatase activity through phosphorylation of MYPT.

Disturbances in pH affect artery function, but the mechanistic background remains controversial. We investigated whether Na(+), HCO₃- transporter NBCn1, by regulating intracellular pH(pH₁), influences artery function and blood pressure regulation. Knockout of NBCn1 in mice eliminated Na+, HCO₃⁻ cotransport and
The Na,K-ATPase is involved in a large number of regulatory activities including cSrc-dependent signalling. Upon inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase with ouabain, cSrc activation is shown to occur in many cell types. This study tests the hypothesis that acute potentiation of

Increased arterial tone and the resulting rise in peripheral vascular resistance are major determinants of the elevated arterial pressure in hypertension. The RhoA/Rho kinase signaling pathways are now recognized as a major regulator of vascular smooth muscle contraction and arterial
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many cardiovascular diseases. We recently showed that TMEM16A is involved in hypertension-induced cerebrovascular remodeling. However, it is unclear whether this effect is related to the regulation
The Ser/Thr Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) is known to have major roles in a wide range of cellular activities, including those involved in tumour metastasis and apoptosis. Here we identify an indispensable function of ROCK1 in metabolic stress-induced autophagy. Applying
