This review summarizes the basic science of myofibrillar protein phosphorylation in muscle tissue.
In muscle, protein phosphorylation takes place in both the sarcoplasm and the myofibrils. This review deals only with those myofibrillar proteins that can be phosphorylated-i.e. myosin light chain and in a few cases the heavy chain, the inhibitory and tropomyosin-binding subunits of troponin, and tropomyosin. Although research on this topic began as recently as 1972, several interesting results have been accumulated (for reviews, see 86-88, 114, 116).
Bárány et al. (1980) studied this question.
