Ca(2+)-insensitive sustained contraction of skinned smooth muscle after acidic ADP treatment

Morimoto, S., Ogawa, Y.·1995·American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology

Abstract

After an acidic treatment in the presence of ADP, Triton X-100-skinned rabbit aortic smooth muscle strips were found to develop a large sustained, Ca(2+)-insensitive tension when returned to a relaxing solution with neutral pH. The presence of ADP during treatment was essential for the manifestation of the Ca(2+)-insensitive contraction. This contraction was reversibly eliminated by withdrawal of MgATP or addition of vanadate and was found to be accompanied by an extraordinarily high level of 20-kDa myosin light-chain (MLC20) phosphorylation. The rate constant for dephosphorylation of MLC20 in treated strips was about one-twenty-fifth that in untreated control, when determined after removal of Ca2+, Mg2+, and ATP. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping of tryptic digests of MLC20 showed that most incorporated phosphate was in the peptides which would be phosphorylated by myosin light-chain kinase. These results provide strong evidence that ADP inactivates myosin light-chain phosphatase under acidic conditions.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In apparently healthy subjects, production of hyperglycaemia by continuous glucose infusion for up to 42 h is associated with enhancements of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function rather than insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction.

    “This thesis is based on the observation that in apparently healthy subjects the production of hyperglycaemia by a continuous infusion of glucose for periods of up to 42-h is associated with enhancements of insulin sensitivity [141] and beta-cell function [141, 142, 143, 144], rather than the production of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
