Activity summary

Myosin phosphatase sometimes also known as Myosin Light Chain Phosphatase is an enzyme that plays a mechanical role in the dephosphorylation of myosin light chains which are important for muscle contraction and cell motility. This enzyme typically consists of three subunits: a catalytic subunit known as protein phosphatase 1 and two regulatory subunits. Together they generally create a structure with a mass between 100-150 kDa. You will find myosin phosphatase widely expressed across muscle tissues such as cardiac smooth and skeletal muscles.

Biological function summary

Myosin phosphatase regulates contraction by reversing phosphorylation of myosin light chains an important process in muscle function and various cellular activities. This enzyme operates as part of the myosin phosphatase complex where it provides the capability needed to maintain equilibrium between phosphorylating and dephosphorylating processes. By controlling this balance myosin phosphatase plays a significant role in cell movement cell shape and tension maintenance.

Pathways

Myosin phosphatase is integrated into the RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling pathway which is important for cytoskeletal dynamics and cell adhesion. Within this pathway myosin phosphatase interacts with proteins like Rho-kinase (ROCK) which counter-regulates its activity by inhibiting dephosphorylation. The crosstalk with another protein protein phosphatase 1 is also significant in controlling phosphorylation states and facilitating cellular responses to external stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

Myosin phosphatase is involved in hypertension and heart failure through its action on smooth muscle contraction. Abnormal regulation and activity of this enzyme can lead to unwanted contraction and subsequently increased blood pressure. The protein Rho-kinase is implicated in these conditions as it often modifies the activity of myosin phosphatase. Furthermore deregulation of the associated cellular pathways contributes to cardiac stress and dysfunction highlighting its involvement in heart-related pathology.

    ROCK1 & 2 display paralog specific cytoskeletal control in endothelial cells. (A) Growth patterns of confluent
    monolayers of MS1 endothelial cells stably expressing either non-targeting control, ROCK1, or ROCK2 shRNA expression
    vectors, or non-targeting control shRNA MS1 cells treated with 10 µM Y27632. (B) MS1 endothelial cells stably expressing non-targeting
    control, ROCK1, or ROCK2 shRNA expression vectors, and control shRNA MS1 cells treated with 10 µM Y27632 were
    grown on glass coverslips for 24 hours. Actin microfilaments in each condition were visualized by rhodamine-conjugated
    phalloidin staining while nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Immunofluorescent images were captured with scanning
    confocal microscopy. (solid arrows=areas of cell retraction; a=control shRNA, b=Y27632, c= ROCK1 shRNA, d=ROCK2
    shRNA) (C) Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis of actin alpha 1 (Acta1), actin alpha 2 (Acta2), and Gapdh steady state mRNA
    expression levels. (D) Western blot detection of the phosphorylated (p) and total (t) forms of the myosin binding subunit of
    myosin phosphatase (MBS), cofilin, and ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM). Ponceau staining of the membrane was used as a loading
    control. (E) Quantification of the normalized levels of phosphorylated MBS, cofilin, and ERM phosphorylation in each condition.
