| Abstract | Previous studies have shown that cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) act on several targets in the contractile pathway to reduce intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ and/or augment RhoA-regulated myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) activity and cause muscle relaxation. Recent studies have identified a novel protein M-RIP that associates with MYPT1, the regulatory subunit of MLCP. Herein, we examine whether PKG enhance MLCP activity downstream of Ca$^{2+}$ and RhoA via phosphorylation of M-RIP in gastric smooth muscle cells. Treatment of permeabilized muscle cells with 10 μM Ca$^{2+}$ caused an increase in MLC$_{20}$ phosphorylation and muscle contraction, but had no effect on Rho kinase activity. Activators of PKG (GSNO or cGMP) decreased MLC$_{20}$ phosphorylation and contraction in response to 10 μM Ca$^{2+}$, implying existence of inhibitory mechanism independent of Ca$^{2+}$ and RhoA. The effect of PKG on Ca$^{2+}$-induced MLC$_{20}$ phosphorylation was attenuated by M-RIP siRNA. Both GSNO and 8-pCPT-cGMP induced phosphorylation of M-RIP; phosphorylation was accompanied by an increase in the association of M-RIP with MYPT1 and MLCP activity. Taken together, these results provide evidence that PKG induces phosphorylation of M-RIP and enhances its association with MYPT1 to augment MLCP activity and MLC$_{20}$ dephosphorylation and inhibits muscle contraction, downstream of Ca$^{2+}$- or RhoA-dependent pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
