In beta-escin-permeabilized cultured pig aortic smooth muscle cells GTP gamma S dose-dependently enhances Ca2+-induced, wortmannin-sensitive phosphorylation of 20 kDa myosin light chain (MLC(20)), GTP gamma S does not potentiate thiophosphorylation of MLC(20), but does inhibit its dephosphorylation, Pretreatment with C, botulinum exotoxin C-3, which specifically ADP-ribosylates and inactivates the rho family of the small molecular weight G proteins, completely abolishes the effects of GTP gamma S, These results indicate that rite is involved in the GTP gamma S-induced enhancement of Ca2+-dependent MLC(20) phosphorylation in aortic smooth muscle cells, and strongly suggest that this effect of rho is due to inhibition of protein phosphatase activity toward MLC(20).
