Function
Contractile protein that plays a role in heart development and function (By similarity). Following phosphorylation, plays a role in cross-bridge cycling kinetics and cardiac muscle contraction by increasing myosin lever arm stiffness and promoting myosin head diffusion; as a consequence of the increase in maximum contraction force and calcium sensitivity of contraction force. These events altogether slow down myosin kinetics and prolong duty cycle resulting in accumulated myosins being cooperatively recruited to actin binding sites to sustain thin filament activation as a means to fine-tune myofilament calcium sensitivity to force (By similarity). During cardiogenesis plays an early role in cardiac contractility by promoting cardiac myofibril assembly (By similarity).

Supplementary info

- Activity summary
Myosin Light Chain 2 (MLC2) also known as ventricular myosin regulatory light chain (MLC2v) or smooth muscle myosin light chain is a critical component of the myosin protein complex. It is a low-molecular-weight protein with a mass typically around 20 kDa. Myosin Light Chain 2 plays a mechanical role in muscle contraction where it interacts with myosin heavy chain and actin filaments. This interaction modulates muscle contraction in both cardiac and smooth muscle tissues. MLC2 is ubiquitously expressed in muscles but exhibits specific expression patterns in cardiac and smooth muscles.
- Biological function summary
Myosin Light Chain 2 plays a fundamental role in muscle function by regulating myofilament sensitivity to calcium ions. It functions as part of the myosin complex which is essential for actin-myosin interactions required for muscle contraction. Phosphorylation of MLC2 alters the actomyosin activity affecting muscle contraction strength and speed. This regulation contributes significantly to muscle tone contractility and overall heart function.
- Pathways
Myosin Light Chain 2 is a pivotal player in the calcium signaling and smooth muscle contraction pathways. Within these pathways phosphorylation leads to myosin cross-bridge cycling with actin facilitated by proteins like calmodulin and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). This biochemical interaction not only underpins smooth muscle function but also plays roles in other processes like cell motility and division emphasizing MLC2's versatility in cellular mechanics.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Aberrations in Myosin Light Chain 2 function or expression implicate it in cardiac hypertrophy and certain smooth muscle dysfunctions such as hypertension. Changes in MLC2 phosphorylation state can directly affect cardiac contractility worsening conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It also relates closely with other proteins such as MLCK and calmodulin which are involved in these disease pathways highlighting a complex network of regulatory mechanisms that when disrupted can lead to severe health issues.
