Effect of phosphorylation of myosin light chains on interaction of heavy meromyosin with regulated F-actin in ghost fibers.

The binding of phosphorylated heavy meromyosin to regulated F-actin in ghost fibers at high Ca2+ concentration increases, and at low Ca2+ concentration decreases, the anisotropy of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of F-actin. The effect is opposite to the effect of the binding of dephosphorylated heavy meromyosin.
