Structure of the Shroom-Rho Kinase Complex Reveals a Binding Interface with Monomeric Shroom That Regulates Cell Morphology and Stimulates Kinase Activity* (2016, background): “Activity of non-muscle myosin II is stimulated by several serine/threonine kinases, which phosphorylate MRLC at Thr-18 and Ser-19 (7, 8) and drive contraction of F-actin bundles (9, 10).”
Actin stress fibres (2007, background): “The signalling pathways involved are not fully defined – oxytocin mobilises Ca2+, which would lead to MLCK activation and consequent phosphorylation of myosin (Reversi et al., 2005); however, oxytocin can also trigger activation of RhoA and ROCK in other tissues (Tahara et al., 2002).”
