Summary
MYL9 (myosin light chain 9, HGNC:15754) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q11.23, encoding Myosin regulatory light polypeptide 9 (P24844). Myosin regulatory subunit that plays an important role in regulation of both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cell contractile activity via its phosphorylation.
Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of two heavy chains and four light chains. The protein encoded by this gene is a myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contraction by modulating the ATPase activity of myosin heads. The encoded protein binds calcium and is activated by myosin light chain kinase. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Myosin regulatory subunit that plays an important role in regulation of both smooth muscle and nonmuscle cell contractile activity via its phosphorylation. Implicated in cytokinesis, receptor capping, and cell locomotion. In myoblasts, may regulate PIEZO1-dependent cortical actomyosin assembly involved in myotube formation.
Subunit / interactions. Myosin is a hexamer of 2 heavy chains and 4 light chains: interacts with myosin heavy chain MYO19. Interacts with LUZP1; the interaction results in inhibition of phosphorylation of MYL9 by DAPK3.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell cortex.
Tissue specificity. Smooth muscle tissues and in some, but not all, nonmuscle cells.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation increases the actin-activated myosin ATPase activity and thereby regulates the contractile activity. It is required to generate the driving force in the migration of the cells but not necessary for localization of myosin-2 at the leading edge. Phosphorylation is required for myotube formation. Phosphorylated by DAPK3; DAPK3-mediated phosphorylation is inhibited by LUZP1.
Disease relevance. Megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome 4 (MMIHS4) [MIM:619365] A form of megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome, a congenital visceral myopathy primarily affecting females, and characterized by loss of smooth muscle contraction in the bladder and intestine. Affected individuals present at birth with functional obstruction of intestine, microcolon, dilation of bladder, and secondary hydronephrosis. The majority of cases have a fatal outcome due to malnutrition and sepsis, followed by multiorgan failure. MMIHS4 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. This chain binds calcium.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 47 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
