We have used an immunological approach to investigate the role of myosin light chain phosphorylation (MLC-Pi) in the control of contractility in smooth muscle. Our aim was to specifically inhibit myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in the presence of physiologically activating levels of Ca2+ so that other putative Ca2(+)-dependent regulatory systems could be unmasked. Fab fragments were prepared by papain digestion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules obtained from goats immunized with turkey gizzard MLCK. Anti-MLCK Fab was then purified by chromatography on an MLCK-Sepharose 4B column. These affinity-purified Fab fragments inhibit the activity of MLCK purified from turkey gizzard smooth muscle and interact monospecifically with MLCK in various mammalian smooth muscles as demonstrated by a Western blot analysis. The effect of these Fab fragments on the contractile properties was tested in guinea pig taenia coli made permeable (skinned) using Triton X-100. Skinned fibers, approximately 100 microns in diameter and 4 mm long, were mounted for isometric measurements and immersed in calcium-EGTA buffers. Fibers preincubated with anti-MLCK Fab in relaxing solution (Ca2+ less than 1 nM) for 75 minutes developed about 25% of the isometric force of a parallel control contraction when transferred to contracting solution (Ca2+ = 0.5 microM). When added to contracting solution at the peak of a contracture, anti-MLCK Fab elicited a relaxation that was complete in about 120 minutes despite the presence of Ca2+. No significant effect on isometric force was observed when fibers were incubated with another affinity-purified mouse Fab raised against the Fc region of human IgG (control Fab).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
