Amino acid sequence of an active fragment of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase
Abstract
The amino acid sequence of a 368-residue segment at the carboxyl-terminus of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) has been determined. The sequence was derived primarily from analysis of two complementary sets of fragments obtained by cleavage at methionyl and arginyl bonds in S-carboxymethylated MLCK. The segment included a 360-residue fragment produced by limited tryptic digestion of MLCK. This fragment was both catalytically active and dependent on Ca2+-calmodulin. Unique structural features of MLCK have been identified, and a likely calmodulin interaction site is suggested. Sequence comparisons of MLCK to other protein kinases indicate close structural relationships in spite of marked differences in physicochemical properties, enzymatic characteristics, and regulatory response among these enzymes.
