Phosphorylation may enable smooth muscle myosin activation via RLC conformational shift; leaves open human relevance and therapeutic implications.
Phosphorylation alters the spatial relationship between the Glu124-Arg143 region and the N and C termini of the regulatory light chain, which may underlie smooth muscle myosin activation.
Wu et al. (1998) studied this question.
