| Entrez Gene Summary | Myosin phosphatase target subunit 1, which is also called the myosin-binding subunit of myosin phosphatase, is one of the subunits of myosin phosphatase. Myosin phosphatase regulates the interaction of actin and myosin downstream of the guanosine triphosphatase Rho. The small guanosine triphosphatase Rho is implicated in myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, which results in contraction of smooth muscle and interaction of actin and myosin in nonmuscle cells. The guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound, active form of RhoA (GTP.RhoA) specifically interacted with the myosin-binding subunit (MBS) of myosin phosphatase, which regulates the extent of phosphorylation of MLC. Rho-associated kinase (Rho-kinase), which is activated by GTP. RhoA, phosphorylated MBS and consequently inactivated myosin phosphatase. Overexpression of RhoA or activated RhoA in NIH 3T3 cells increased phosphorylation of MBS and MLC. Thus, Rho appears to inhibit myosin phosphatase through the action of Rho-kinase. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: O14974 # Regulates myosin phosphatase activity. SIZE: 1030 amino acids; 115281 Da SUBUNIT: PP1 comprises a catalytic subunit, PPP1CA, PPP1CB or PPP1CC, and one or several targeting or regulatory subunits. PPP1R12A mediates binding to myosin. Interacts with ARHA and CIT (By similarity). Binds PPP1R12B, ROCK1 and IL16. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Note=Along actomyosin filaments and stress fibers. PTM: Phosphorylated by CIT (Rho-associated kinase) (By similarity). Phosphorylated cooperatively by ROCK1 and CDC42BP on Thr-696. Phosphorylated on upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: O14974 ## Contains 6 ANK repeats. |
