Myosin phosphorylation precedes force in avian smooth muscle; hypothesis-generating for latch-state mechanisms, requires validation in mammalian models before any clinical inference.
Demonstrates that in chicken gizzard smooth muscle, myosin phosphorylation is a rapid transient event that precedes force generation, suggesting a phosphorylation-independent regulation of tension decline.
Fischer et al. (1989) studied this question.
