Down-Regulation of Myosin Light Chain Kinase Expression in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Accelerates Cell Proliferation: Requirement of Its Actin-binding Domain for Reversion to Normal Rates
Myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) is a multi-domain protein with kinase and actin-binding domains, among others. Deficiency of MLCK expression in GBaSM-4 vascular smooth muscle cells enhanced cell proliferation rate and shortened cell doubling time. Transient transfection of the MLCK-deficient cells...
