摘要
Smooth muscle myosin phosphatase dephosphorylates the regulatory myosin light chain and thus mediates smooth muscle relaxation. The activity of this myosin phosphatase is dependent upon its myosin-targeting subunit (MYPT1). Isoforms of MYPT1 have been identified, but how they are generated and their relationship to smooth muscle phenotypes is not clear. Cloning of the middle section of chicken and rat MYPT1 genes revealed that each gene gave rise to isoforms by cassette-type alternative splicing of exons. In chicken, a 123-nucleotide exon was included or excluded from the mature mRNA, whereas in rat two exons immediately downstream were alternative. MYPT1 isoforms lacking the alternative exon were only detected in mature chicken smooth muscle tissues that display phasic contractile properties, but the isoform ratios were variable. The patterns of expression of rat MYPT1 mRNA isoforms were more complex, with three major and two minor isoforms present in all smooth muscle tissues at varying stoichiometries. Isoform switching was identified in the developing chicken gizzard, in which the exon-skipped isoform replaced the exon-included isoform around the time of hatching. This isoform switch occurred after transitions in myosin heavy chain and myosin light chain (MLC17) isoforms and correlated with a severalfold increase in the rate of relaxation. The developmental switch of MYPT1 isoforms is a good model for determining the mechanisms and significance of alternative splicing in smooth muscle.
