Myosin light chain kinase purified from chicken white skeletal muscle (Mr = 150,000) was significantly larger than both rabbit skeletal (Mr = 87,000) and chicken gizzard smooth (Mr = 130,000) muscle myosin light chain kinases, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Km and Vmax values with rabbit or chicken skeletal, bovine cardiac, and chicken gizzard smooth muscle myosin P-light chains were very similar for the chicken and rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinases. In contrast, comparable Km and Vmax data for the chicken gizzard smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase showed that this enzyme was catalytically very different from the two skeletal muscle kinases. Affinity-purified antibodies to rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase cross-reacted with chicken skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase, but the titer of cross-reacting antibodies was approximately 20-fold less than the anti-rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase titer. There was no detectable antibody cross-reactivity against chicken gizzard myosin light chain kinase. Proteolytic digestion followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or high performance liquid chromatography showed that these enzymes are structurally very different with few, if any, overlapping peptides. These data suggest that, although chicken skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase is catalytically very similar to rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase, the two enzymes have different primary sequences. The two skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinases appear to be more similar to each other than either is to chicken gizzard smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase. 相似文献

Myosin light chain phosphorylation and contractile performance of human skeletal muscle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Twitch tension and maximal unloaded velocity of human knee extensor muscles were studied under conditions of low phosphate content of the phosphorylatable light chains (P-light chains) of myosin and elevated phosphate content, following a 10-s maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC). After the MVC, twitch tension was significantly potentiated, with greater potentiation observed at a shorter muscle length (p less than 0.05). The MVC was associated with at least a twofold increase in phosphate content of the fast (LC2F) and two slow (LC2S and LC2S') P-light chains, but this increase was unrelated to muscle length. No significant differences in knee extension velocity were observed between conditions where P-light chains had low or elevated phosphate content. Positive but nonsignificant correlations were noted between the extent of twitch potentiation and phosphate content of individual P-light chains as well as the percentage of type II muscle fibres in vastus lateralis muscle. No significant relationships were determined for myosin light chain kinase activity and either P-light chain phosphorylation or type II fibre percentage. These data suggest that, unlike other mammalian fast muscles, P-light chain phosphorylation of mixed human muscles is not strongly associated with altered contractile performance. 相似文献

1. A procedure is described for the isolation of myosin light-chain kinase from rabbit fast skeletal muscle as a homogeneous protein. 2. Myosin light-chain kinase is a monomeric enzyme of mol.wt. 77000. Under some conditions of storage it is converted into components of mol.wts. about 50000 and 30000 that possess enzymic activity. 3. The enzyme is clearly different in structure and properties from any other protein kinase so far isolated from muscle. 4. The enzyme is highly specific for the P-light chain (18000-20000-dalton light chain) of myosin and requires Ca2+ for activity. 5. The P-light chain is phosphorylated at a similar rate whether isolated or associated with the rest of the myosin molecule. 6. The effects of pH, bivalent cation and other nucleotides on the enzymic activity are described. 7. The role of the phosphorylation of the P-light chain of myosin in muscle function is discussed. 相似文献

The phosphate content of the fast (LC2F) and two slow (LC2S and LC2S1) phosphorylatable light chains (P-light chains) in myosin isolated from biopsy samples of rested human vastus lateralis muscle averaged 0.21, 0.28 and 0.25 mol of phosphate per mol of P-light chain, respectively. Following a 10 s maximal contraction, phosphate content was increased by almost 2-fold in the fast and two slow P-light chains. After prolonged, moderate cycling activity phosphate content was only slightly increased in the three P-light chains. These data suggest that, unlike animal skeletal muscle, myosin light chain kinase and phosphatase activities are similar in human fast and slow muscle fibres. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of myosin light chain kinases. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase can phosphorylate myosin light chains isolated from skeletal or smooth muscle. In contrast, smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase specifically phosphorylates light chains isolated from smooth muscle. In this study, we have identified residues within the rabbit smooth and skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinases which may interact with the basic residues that are important substrate determinants in the light chains. Mutation of aspartic acid 270 amino-terminal of the catalytic core of the skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase increased the Km value for both smooth and skeletal muscle light chains. Although deletions of the analogous region of the smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (residues 663-678) markedly increased the Km value for light chain, mutation of any single acidic residue within this region did not have a similar effect. Mutation of single residues within the catalytic core of the skeletal muscle (E377 and E421) and smooth muscle (E777 and E821) myosin light chain kinases increased Km values for the smooth muscle light chain at least 35- and 100-fold, respectively. It is proposed that these residues may form ionic interactions with the arginine that is 3 residues amino-terminal of the phosphorylatable serine in the smooth muscle light chain. 相似文献

Homologous calcium-binding proteins in the activation of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle myosin light chain kinases 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

In order to identify the physiological regulator of calcium dependent myosin light chain kinases of cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscles, the effects of the three homologous calciproteins, calmodulin, troponin C, and parvalbumin, on the kinases isolated from bovine myocardium, rabbit skeletal muscle, and turkey gizzard were examined. Only calmodulin was effective in stimulating the cardiac, skeletal, or smooth muscle kinase; troponin C and parvalbumin exhibited no activation of any of the three kinases, even when examined at concentrations as high as 10-(5) M. It is concluded that calmodulin is the specific regulator of myosin light chain kinase in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle. 相似文献

The molecular and biochemical properties of myosin light chain kinases from chicken skeletal and smooth muscle were investigated by recombinant DNA techniques. Deletion of the amino-terminal region of either the smooth or skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase resulted in a decrease in Vmax with no significant change in Km values for light chain substrates. Skeletal/smooth muscle chimeric kinases were inactive when a 65-residue region amino-terminal of the catalytic core was exchanged between the two forms. Changing alanine 494 to glutamic acid within this region in the chicken skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase increased the Km values for light chains 10-fold. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the region amino-terminal of the catalytic core in myosin light chain kinases is involved in light chain recognition. A skeletal muscle kinase which contained the smooth muscle calmodulin binding domain remained regulated by Ca2+/calmodulin. Thus, the calmodulin binding domains of smooth and skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinases share structural elements necessary for regulation. 相似文献

A myosin was isolated from the clonal rat glial cell strain C-6 and compared with rat skeletal muscle myosin. After cell extracts were subjected to gel filtration chromatography in the presence of KI and magnesium pyrophosphate the C-6 myosin was rapidly purified by a procedure similar to that used for skeletal muscle myosin. The C-6 myosin resembles muscle myosin both physically and enzymatically. It contains heavy chains of 200,000 daltons and two classes of light chains of 17,000 and 19,000 daltons in approximately equal molar ratios. This myosin forms bipolar thick filaments in 0.1 M KCl and binds reversibly to skeletal muscle F-actin, the binding being inhibited by MgATP. Skeletal muscle F-actin stimulates the C-6 myosin adenosine triphosphatase 2- to 3-fold in the presence of KCl and Mg2+. The action activation of muscle myosin ATPase at low ionic strength is 10-fold greater than that of C-6 myosin. Ca2+ and EDTA stimulated the ATPase activities of both enzymes. When assayed in the presence of 0.6 M KCl and 1 mM EDTA the skeletal muscle myocin ATPase demonstrates substrate saturation while the C-6 myosin enzyme activity is stimulated by ATP concentrations above 2.5 mM. 相似文献

The phosphorylation of myosin light chain was quantitated in fast and slow chicken skeletal muscles and in frog sartorius and semitendinosus muscles. The phosphate content of light chain was determined either as moles [32P]phosphate per mole of light chain in 32P-labeled muscles or as percentage phosphorylated light chain of the total P-light chain, measured by densitometry after separating the phospho and dephospho forms of P-light chain with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Both methods revealed that the percentage of total P-light chain which was phosphorylated did not exceed 50% either in maximally tetanized or caffeine-contracted skeletal muscle. This suggests that one of the two P-light chains is selectively phosphorylated in skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Embryonic myosin heavy chain as a differentiation marker of developing human skeletal muscle and rhabdomyosarcoma. A monoclonal antibody study 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Hybridoma cell lines were obtained from the fusion of NS-O myeloma cells with spleen cells of mice immunized with bovine fetal skeletal myosin. A stable hybridoma clone, BF-G6, produced immunoglobulin G1 k antibodies reacting specifically with embryonic-type myosin heavy chains present in fetal but not in neonatal or adult human skeletal muscle, as determined by enzyme immunoassay and immunoblot analysis. Fetal but not adult skeletal muscle fibers were stained by this monoclonal antibody in indirect immunofluorescence assays; smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells, as well as non-muscle cells were also unreactive. Solid tumors of infants and children were tested for reactivity with BF-G6 by immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase staining. Embryonic myosin heavy chain was expressed in rhabdomyosarcomas but not in other types of tumor, except for Wilms' tumor. Rhabdomyosarcoma cells isolated from a bone marrow metastasis and grown in vitro for several months were also labelled by BF-G6. Embryonic myosin heavy chain can thus be used as a specific differentiation marker of normal and neoplastic skeletal muscle tissue. 相似文献

Mammalian skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinases. A comparison by antiserum cross-reactivity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Purified myosin light chain kinases from skeletal muscle are reported to be significantly smaller (Mr = 75,000-90,000) than the kinases purified from smooth muscle (Mr = 130,000-155,000). It has been suggested that the smaller kinases from striated muscle are proteolytic fragments of a larger enzyme which is homologous, if not identical, to myosin light chain kinase from smooth muscle. Therefore, we have used an antiserum to rabbit skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase and Western blot analysis to compare the subunit molecular weight of the kinase in skeletal muscle extracts of several mammalian species. In rabbit skeletal muscle, the antiserum only recognized a polypeptide of Mr = 87,000, with no indication that this polypeptide was a proteolyzed fragment of a larger protein. The apparent molecular weights observed in different animal species were 75,000 (mouse), 83,000 (guinea pig), 82,000 (rat), 87,000 (rabbit), 100,000 (dog), and 108,000 (steer). The molecular weight of myosin light chain kinase was constant within an animal species, regardless of skeletal muscle fiber type. The antiserum inhibited the catalytic activity of skeletal muscle myosin light chain kinase. Similar antibody dilution curves for inhibition of myosin light chain kinase activity in extracts were observed for all animal species (rabbit, rat, mouse, guinea pig, dog, cat, steer, and chicken) and different fibers (slow twitch oxidative, fast twitch oxidative glycolytic, and fast twitch glycolytic) tested. The antiserum did not inhibit the activity of rabbit smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase. These results suggest that there may be at least two classes of muscle myosin light chain kinase represented in skeletal and smooth muscles, respectively. 相似文献

Phosphorylation kinetics of skeletal muscle myosin and the effect of phosphorylation on actomyosin adenosinetriphosphatase activity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Purified rabbit skeletal muscle myosin is phosphorylated on one type of light-chain subunit (P-light chain) by calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase and dephosphorylated by phosphoprotein phosphatase C. Analyses of the time courses of both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of skeletal muscle myosin indicated that both reactions, involving at least 90% of the P-light chain, were kinetically homogeneous. These results suggest that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin heads are simple random processes in contrast to the sequential phosphorylation mechanism proposed for myosin from gizzard smooth muscle. We also examined the effect of phosphorylation of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin on the actin-activated ATPase activity. We observed an apparent 2-fold decrease in the Km for actin, from about 6 microM to about 2.5 microM, with no significant effect on the Vmax (1.8s-1) in response to P-light-chain phosphorylation. There was no significant effect of phosphorylation on the ATPase activity of myosin alone (0.045 s-1). ATPase activation could be fully reversed by addition of phosphatase catalytic subunit. The relationship between the extents of P-light-chain phosphorylation and ATPase activation (at 3.5 microM actin and 0.6 microM myosin) was essentially linear. Thus, in contrast to results obtained with myosin from gizzard smooth muscle, these results suggest that cooperative interactions between the myosin heads do not play an important role in the activation process in skeletal muscle. Since the effect of P-light-chain phosphorylation is upon the Km for actin, it would appear to be associated with a significant activation of ATPase activity only at appropriate concentrations of actin and salt.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Antibodies were formed against the myosin light chains isolated from chicken fast skeletal, slow skeletal, and cardiac muscle and the antigenicities of the light chains were compared by double immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis. It was shown that fast light chains are immunologically different from light chains of slow and cardiac myosin, while the slow and cardiac muscle light chains have similar immunological characteristics; that is, the light chains of apparent molecular weight about 27,000 daltons in SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis of slow and cardiac muscle are immunologically indistinguishable, and the other light chains of apparent molecular weight about 19,000 daltons of both muscles include a common antigenic site. 相似文献

Characterization of myosin heavy chains in cultured aorta smooth muscle cells. A comparative study 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Myosin heavy chains (MHCs) from rat aorta smooth muscle cells were analyzed prior to and after these cells were placed into cell culture using sodium dodecyl sulfate-5% polyacrylamide gels, immunoblots, and two-dimensional peptide maps of tryptic digests. Rat aorta smooth muscle cells prior to culture were found to contain two MHCs (mass = 204 and 200 kDa) which cross-reacted with antibodies raised to smooth muscle myosin, but not with antibodies raised to platelet myosin. Tryptic peptide maps of these two MHCs showed no major differences when compared to each other and to maps of vas deferens and uterus smooth muscle MHCs. When rat aorta smooth muscle cells were placed into culture, the MHCs isolated from the cell extracts differed, depending on whether the cells were rapidly growing or postconfluent. Extracts from log-phase cultures contained predominantly MHCs that migrated more rapidly than smooth muscle myosin in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (mass = 196 kDa) and cross-reacted with antibodies raised to platelet myosin, but not to smooth muscle myosin. Tryptic peptide maps of this MHC were very similar to those obtained with MHCs from non-muscle sources such as platelets and fibroblasts. In contrast, extracts from postconfluent rat aorta cell cultures contained three MHCs (mass = 204, 200, and 196 kDa). Using immunoblots and peptide maps, the fastest migrating MHC was found to be identical to the 196-kDa non-muscle MHC, while the two slower migrating MHCs had the same properties as aorta smooth muscle MHCs prior to culture. These results suggest that smooth muscle cells grown in primary culture contain predominantly (greater than 80%) non-muscle myosin while actively growing, but at a postconfluent stage, contain more equivalent amounts of smooth muscle and non-muscle myosins. 相似文献

The relative rates of synthesis and breakdown of myosin heavy and light chains were studied in primary cell cultures of embryonic chick cardiac and skeletal muscle. Measurements were made after 4 days in culture, at which time both skeletal and cardiac cultures were differentiated and contracted spontaneously. Following a 4-hr pulse of radioactive leucine, myosin and its heavy and light chains were extracted to 90% or greater purity and the specific activities of the proteins were determined. In cardiac muscle, myosin heavy chains were synthesized approximately 1.6 times the rate of myosin light chains, and in skeletal muscle, heavy chains were synthesized at approximately 1.4 times the rate of light chains. Relative rates of degradation of muscle proteins were determined using a dual-isotope technique. In general, the soluble and myofibrillar proteins of both types of muscle had decay rates proportional to their molecular weights (larger proteins generally had higher decay rates) based on analyses utilizing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A notable exception to this general rule was myosin heavy chains, which had decay rates only slightly higher than the myosin light chains. Direct measurements on purified proteins indicated that the heavy chains of myosin were turning over at a slightly greater rate (approximately 20%) than the myosin light chains in both cardiac and skeletal muscle. The reasons for the apparent discrepancy between these measurements of myosin heavy and light chain synthesis and degradation are discussed. 相似文献

1. A method was developed for the isolation of essentially pure myosin light chains from perfused rat heart. The phosphorylation of the P-light chains was estimated by hydrolysis and measurement of phosphate released, by electrophoresis in 8 M-urea and by 32P incorporation in perfusion with [32P]Pi. 2. In control perfusions there was 0.5-0.6 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain. This was not changed by perfusion with 5 microM-adrenaline for 10-40s. Perfusion for 1 min with medium containing 7.5 mM-CaCl2, or for 30s with medium containing 118 mM-KCl, also did not change the phosphorylation of P-light chains. 3. It is concluded that phosphorylation of P-light chains is not important in mediating the action of inotropic agents in the heart. 相似文献

Two types of canine cardiac myosins, myosin from the free wall of the right ventricle and the free wall of the left ventricle, were compared with canine skeletal muscle myosin from the gastrocnemius. The Vmax values for the ATPase reaction catalyzed by myosin were significantly different among the three types of tissues. For K+-activated myosin the Vmax values in micromoles of Pi per mg per min were: right ventricle, 0.57; left ventricle, 0.72; and gastrocnemius, 0.95. For Ca-2+ -activated myosin the Vmax values were: right ventricle, 0.32; left ventricle, 0.42; gastrocnemius, 0.50. All differences were significant (p smaller than 0.001). For all three types of tissues the Vmax values for NH4+ -activated myosin were the same (2.30). Light chains among all three types of tissues were immunologically identical, whereas the heavy chains of the two cardiac ventricles were immunologically identical with each other; however both were immunologically nonidentical with those of the gastrocnemius. The proportion of myosin light chains to heavy chains was different in the three types of tissue. Of the total protein present in each of the myosins, there was 18% in the light chains of right ventricle myosin, 10% in the light chains of left ventricle myosin, and 13% in the light chains of gastrocnemius. Both left ventricle myosin and myosin from gastrocnemius had significantly less C1d light chain, as compared to myosin from the right ventricle. 相似文献

The effect of myosin phosphorylation on the contractile properties of skinned rabbit skeletal muscle fibers 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
We have studied the effect of myosin P-light chain phosphorylation on the isometric tension generated by skinned fibers from rabbit psoas muscle at 0.6 and 10 microM Ca2+. At the lower Ca2+ concentration, which produced 10-20% of the maximal isometric tension obtained at 10 microM Ca2+, addition of purified myosin light chain resulted in a 50% increase in isometric tension which correlated with an increase in P-light chain phosphorylation from 0.10 to 0.80 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain. Addition of a phosphoprotein phosphatase reversed the isometric tension response and dephosphorylated P-light chain. At the higher Ca2+ concentration, P-light chain phosphorylation was found to have little effect on isometric tension. Fibers prepared and stored at -20 degrees C in a buffer containing MgATP, KF, and potassium phosphate incorporated 0.80 mol of phosphate/mol of P-light chain. Addition of phosphoprotein phosphatase to these fibers incubated at 0.6 microM Ca2+ caused a reduction in isometric tension and dephosphorylation of the P-light chain. There was no difference before and after phosphorylation of P-light chain in the normalized force-velocity relationship for fibers at the lower Ca2+ concentration, and the extrapolated maximum shortening velocity was 2.2 fiber lengths/s. Our results suggest that in vertebrate skeletal muscle, P-light chain phosphorylation increases the force level at submaximal Ca2+ concentrations, probably by affecting the interaction between the myosin cross-bridge and the thin filament. 相似文献

Calsequestrin is a high-capacity Ca(2+)-binding protein and a major constituent of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Two isoforms of calsequestrin, cardiac and skeletal muscle forms, have been described which are products of separate genes. Purified forms of the two prototypical calsequestrin isoforms, dog cardiac and rabbit fast-twitch skeletal muscle calsequestrins, serve as excellent substrates for casein kinase II and are phosphorylated on distinct sites (Cala, S.E. and Jones, L.R. (1991) J. Biol. Chem 266, 391-398). Dog cardiac calsequestrin is phosphorylated at a 50 to 100-fold greater rate than is rabbit skeletal muscle calsequestrin, and only the dog cardiac isoform contains endogenous Pi on casein kinase II phosphorylation sites. In this study, we identified and examined both calsequestrin isoforms in rat muscle cultures and homogenates to demonstrate that the cardiac isoform of calsequestrin in rat skeletal muscle was phosphorylated in vivo on sites which are phosphorylated by casein kinase II in vitro. Phosphorylation of rat skeletal muscle calsequestrin was not detected. In tissue homogenates, cardiac and skeletal muscle calsequestrin isoforms were both found to be prominent substrates for endogenous casein kinase II activity with cardiac calsequestrin the preferred substrate. In addition, these studies revealed that the cardiac isoform of calsequestrin was the predominant form expressed in skeletal muscle of fetal rats and cultured myotubes. 相似文献

Sephadex G-200 gel filtration of DNA cellulose-treated crude extracts of rat skeletal muscle, revealed a broad peak-fraction of tRNA-inhibitory protein kinases (PK) coeluted endogenous substrates. In comparison, the elution profile of baker's yeast exhibited multiple peak-fractions of tRNA-inhibiting PK. Various tRNA all showed inhibition to PK. In the presence of regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, tRNA did not exert synergetic inhibition on PK. Moreover, the interaction of tRNA with active muscle PK fractions could not be monitored by the increment of absorbance at 340 nm. tRNA had no significant regulatory effect on the phosphorylation of actin and myosin. 相似文献
