Myosin IIIa activators are compounds that can influence MYO3A indirectly through different biochemical and cellular pathways. For instance, PIP2 is critical in the modulation of actin-binding proteins and thus can influence MYO3A's activity by altering its interaction with the actin cytoskeleton. Similarly, calcium-modulated proteins such as calmodulin can bind to MYO3A and induce conformational changes that may activate the motor protein. Additionally, modulation of second messenger systems such as cAMP via adenylate cyclase activators like forskolin, or cAMP analogs like 8-Bromo-cAMP, can activate PKA which in turn could phosphorylate and thus regulate MYO3A activity.
The manipulation of phosphorylation states through inhibitors of protein phosphatases like okadaic acid, or via the inhibition of GSK-3 by lithium chloride, demonstrates how altering the balance of protein phosphorylation can indirectly affect MYO3A activity. Compounds like PMA and bisindolylmaleimide I highlight the role of PKC in the phosphorylation of myosin light chains, a process that is critical for MYO3A's interaction with actin. The involvement of tyrosine kinase pathways is evident with the use of genistein and sodium orthovanadate, which modulate the phosphorylation status of proteins indirectly associated with MYO3A function. Lastly, essential ions like manganese are required for the activity of enzymes that produce signaling molecules influencing MYO3A's phosphorylation and motor activity.
