Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) increases the sensitivity of the contractile response to activation by Ca2+ in permeabilized tracheal smooth muscle. Increased tension was associated with a proportional increase in myosin light chain phosphorylation. The site of phosphorylation was determined to be serine-19, which corresponds to the site rapidly phosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. GTP gamma S did not affect the contraction induced by the protein phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid but did enhance contraction produced by Ca(2+)-independent myosin light chain kinase. In tracheal homogenates Ca(2+)-dependent myosin light chain kinase activity was not affected by GTP gamma S; however, dephosphorylation of 32P-labeled heavy meromyosin by phosphatase was inhibited. Thus GTP gamma S may increase the Ca2+ sensitivity of contractile elements in tracheal smooth muscle by inhibition of protein phosphatase activity toward myosin light chain.
