The results of this study confirm previous studies that thicker and more tightly assembled smooth muscle layer, rather than the profile of the major contractile proteins, is the likely cause for a higher mechanical potential of the mesenteric artery compared to vein.
During cytokinesis, the protein progressively accumulates in the furrow cortex until the cell completes division, indicating that heavy chain phosphorylation normally facilitates removal of wild type myosin-II from the contractile ring.
To explain this cellular memory, we propose that, as the bursts of contractile activity are sustained over time (through a tonic pattern of neural stimulation), a second source of calcium is mobilized from outside of the cell and enters via a class of calcium channels that are called “store-operated” or “non-voltage-dependent.”
The results reported here provide biochemical and cellular evidence indicating that D. discoideum contains a related family of MHC kinase isoforms that display distinct modes of regulation in vitro and distinct localization dynamics in vivo during contractile events, particularly during cytokinesis.
To accomplish its cellular tasks, myosin II assembles into bipolar thick filaments and pull together oppositely oriented actin filaments to produce contractile forces.
