To understand the structural changes involved in the force-producing myosin cross-bridge cycle in vertebrate muscle it is necessary to know the arrangement and conformation of the myosin heads at the start of the cycle (i.e. the relaxed state). Myosin filaments isolated from goldfish muscle under relaxing conditions and viewed in negative stain by electron microscopy (EM) were divided into segments and subjected to three-dimensional (3D) single particle analysis without imposing helical symmetry. This allowed the known systematic departure from helicity characteristic of vertebrate striated muscle myosin filaments to be preserved and visualised. The resulting 3D reconstruction reveals details to about 55 A resolution of the myosin head density distribution in the three non-equivalent head 'crowns' in the 429 A myosin filament repeat. The analysis maintained the well-documented axial perturbations of the myosin head crowns and revealed substantial azimuthal perturbations between crowns with relatively little radial perturbation. Azimuthal rotations between crowns were approximately 60 degrees , 60 degrees and 0 degrees , rather than the regular 40 degrees characteristic of an unperturbed helix. The new density map correlates quite well with the head conformations analysed in other EM studies and in the relaxed fish muscle myosin filament structure modelled from X-ray fibre diffraction data. The reconstruction provides information on the polarity of the myosin head array in the A-band, important in understanding the geometry of the myosin head interaction with actin during the cross-bridge cycle, and supports a number of conclusions previously inferred by other methods. The observed azimuthal head perturbations are consistent with the X-ray modelling results from intact muscle, indicating that the observed perturbations are an intrinsic property of the myosin filaments and are not induced by the proximity of actin filaments in the muscle A-band lattice. Comparison of the axial density profile derived in this study with the axial density profile of the X-ray model of the fish myosin filaments which was restricted to contributions from the myosin heads allows the identification of a non-myosin density peak associated with the azimuthally perturbed head crown which can be interpreted as a possible location for C-protein or X-protein (MyBP-C or -X). This position for C-protein is also consistent with the C-zone interference function deduced from previous analysis of the meridional X-ray pattern from frog muscle. It appears that, along with other functions, C-(X-) protein may have the role of slewing the heads of one crown so that they do not clash with the neighbouring actin filaments, but are readily available to interact with actin when the muscle is activated.  相似文献

Clear images of myosin filaments have been seen in shadowed freeze-fracture replicas of single fibers of relaxed frog semitendinosus muscles rapidly frozen using a dual propane jet freezing device. These images have been analyzed by optical diffraction and computer averaging and have been modelled to reveal details of the myosin head configuration on the right-handed, three-stranded helix of cross-bridges. Both the characteristic 430-A and 140-150-A repeats of the myosin cross-bridge array could be seen. The measured filament backbone diameter was 140-160 A, and the outer diameter of the cross-bridge array was 300 A. Evidence is presented that suggests that the observed images are consistent with a model in which both of the heads of one myosin molecule tilt in the same direction at an angle of approximately 50-70 degrees to the normal to the filament long axis and are slewed so that they lie alongside each other and their radially projected density lies along the three right-handed helical tracks. Any perturbation of the myosin heads away from their ideal lattice sites needed to account for x-ray reflections not predicted for a perfect helix must be essentially along the three helical tracks of cross-bridges. Little trace of the presence of non-myosin proteins could be seen.  相似文献

Myosin filaments isolated from goldfish (Carassius auratus) muscle under relaxing conditions and viewed in negative stain by electron microscopy have been subjected to 3D helical reconstruction to provide details of the myosin head arrangement in relaxed muscle. Previous X-ray diffraction studies of fish muscle (plaice) myosin filaments have suggested that the heads project a long way from the filament surface rather than lying down flat and that heads in a single myosin molecule tend to interact with each other rather than with heads from adjacent molecules. Evidence has also been presented that the head tilt is away from the M-band. Here we seek to confirm these conclusions using a totally independent method. By using 3D helical reconstruction of isolated myosin filaments the known perturbation of the head array in vertebrate muscles was inevitably averaged out. The 3D reconstruction was therefore compared with the X-ray model after it too had been helically averaged. The resulting images showed the same characteristic features: heads projecting out from the filament backbone to high radius and the motor domains at higher radius and further away from the M-band than the light-chain-binding neck domains (lever arms) of the heads.  相似文献

By means of electron microscopy the longitudinal sections of chemically skinned fibres of rigorised rabbit psoas muscle have been examined at pH of rigorising solutions equal to 6, 7, 8 (I = 0.125) and ionic strengths equal to 0.04, 0.125, 0.34 (pH 7.0). It has been revealed that at pH 6.0 the bands of minor proteins localization in A-disks were seen very distinctly, while at pH 7.0 and I = 0.125 these bands can be revealed only by means of antibody labelling technique. At the ionic strength of 0.34 (pH 7.0) the periodicity of 14.3 nm in thick filaments was clearly observed, which was determined by packing of the myosin rods into the filament shaft and of the myosin heads (cross-bridges) on the filament surface. The number of cross-bridge rows in the filament equals 102. A new scheme of myosin cross-bridge distribution in thick filaments of rabbit psoas muscle has been suggested according to which two rows of cross-bridges at each end of a thick filament are absent. The filament length equals 1.64 +/- 0.01 micron. It has been shown that the length of thick filament as well as the structural organization of their end regions in rabbit psoas muscle and frog sartorius one are different.  相似文献

The myosin crossbridge array, positions of non-crossbridge densities on the backbone, and the A-band "end filaments" have been compared in chemically skinned, unfixed, uncryoprotected relaxed, and rigor plaice fin muscles using the freeze-fracture, deep-etch, rotary-shadowing technique. The images provide a direct demonstration of the helical packing of the myosin heads in situ in relaxed muscle and show rearrangements of the myosin heads, and possibly of other myosin filament proteins, when the heads lose ATP on going into rigor. In the H-zone these changes are consistent with crossbridge changes previously shown by others using freeze-substitution. In addition, new evidence is presented of protein rearrangements in the M-region (bare zone), associated with the transition from the relaxed to the rigor state, including a 27-nm increase in the apparent width of the M-region. This is interpreted as being mostly due to loss or rearrangement of a nonmyosin (M9) protein component at the M-region edge. The structure and titin periodicity of the end-filaments are described, as are suggestions of titin structure on the myosin filament backbone.  相似文献

A time-resolved x-ray diffraction study at a time resolution of 0.53 ms was made to investigate the structural origin of latency relaxation (LR) in frog skeletal muscle. Intensity and spacing measurements were made on meridional reflections from the Ca-binding protein troponin and the thick filament and on layer lines from the thin filament. At 16 degrees C, the intensity and spacing of all reflections started to change at 4 ms, simultaneously with the LR. At 0 degrees C, the intensity of the troponin reflection and the layer lines from the thin filament and the spacing of the 14.3-nm myosin meridional reflection, but not the spacing of other myosin meridional reflections, began to change at approximately 15 ms, when the LR also started. Intensity of myosin-based reflections started to change later. When the muscle was stretched to non-overlap length, the intensity and spacing changes of the myosin reflections disappeared. The simultaneous spacing change of the 14.3-nm myosin meridional reflection with the LR suggests that detachment of myosin heads that are bound to actin in the resting muscle is the cause of the LR.  相似文献

Previously we have shown that cross-bridge attachment to actin and the radial position of the myosin heads surrounding the thick filament backbone affect the equatorial x-ray diffraction intensities in different ways (Yu, 1989). In the present study, other factors frequently encountered experimentally are analyzed by a simple model of the filament lattice. It is shown that the ordering/disordering of filaments, lattice spacing changes, the azimuthal redistributions of cross-bridges, and variations in the ordered/disordered population of cross-bridges surrounding the thick filaments can distinctly affect the equatorial intensities. Consideration of Fourier transforms of individual components of the unit cell can provide qualitative explanations for the equatorial intensity changes. Criteria are suggested that can be used to distinguish the influence of some factors from others.  相似文献

The strongest myosin-related features in the low-angle axial x-ray diffraction pattern of resting frog sartorius muscle are the meridional reflections corresponding to axial spacings of 21.4 and 14.3 nm, and the first layer line, at a spacing 42.9 nm. During tetanus the intensities of the first layer line and the 21.4-nm meridional decrease by 62 and 80% respectively, but, when the muscle is fresh, the 14.3-nm meridional intensity rises by 13%, although it shows a decrease when the muscle is fatigued. The large change in the intensity of the 21.4-nm meridional reflection suggests that the projected myosin cross-bridge density onto the thick filament axis changes during contraction. The model proposed by Bennett (Ph.D. Thesis, University of London, 1977) in which successive cross-bridge levels are at 0,3/8, and 5/8 of the 42.9-nm axial repeat in the resting muscle, passing to 0, 1/3, and 2/3 in the contracting state, can explain why the 21.4-nm reflection decreases in intensity while the 14.3-nm increases when the muscle is activated. The model predicts a rather larger increase of the 14.3-nm reflection intensity during contraction than that observed, but the discrepancy may be removed if a small change of shape or tilt of the cross-bridges relative to the thick filament axis is introduced. The decrease of the intensity of the first layer line indicates that the cross-bridges become disordered in the plane perpendicular to the filament axis.  相似文献

In the absence of adenosine triphosphate, the head domains of myosin cross-bridges in muscle bind to actin filaments in a rigor conformation that is expected to mimic that following the working stroke during active contraction. We used x-ray interference between the two head arrays in opposite halves of each myosin filament to determine the rigor head conformation in single fibers from frog skeletal muscle. During isometric contraction (force T(0)), the interference effect splits the M3 x-ray reflection from the axial repeat of the heads into two peaks with relative intensity (higher angle/lower angle peak) 0.76. In demembranated fibers in rigor at low force (<0.05 T(0)), the relative intensity was 4.0, showing that the center of mass of the heads had moved 4.5 nm closer to the midpoint of the myosin filament. When rigor fibers were stretched, increasing the force to 0.55 T(0), the heads' center of mass moved back by 1.1-1.6 nm. These motions can be explained by tilting of the light chain domain of the head so that the mean angle between the Cys(707)-Lys(843) vector and the filament axis increases by approximately 36 degrees between isometric contraction and low-force rigor, and decreases by 7-10 degrees when the rigor fiber is stretched to 0.55 T(0).  相似文献

Available high-resolution structures of F-actin, myosin subfragment 1 (S1), and their complex, actin-S1, were used to calculate a 2D x-ray diffraction pattern from skeletal muscle in rigor. Actin sites occupied by myosin heads were chosen using a "principle of minimal elastic distortion energy" so that the 3D actin labeling pattern in the A-band of a sarcomere was determined by a single parameter. Computer calculations demonstrate that the total off-meridional intensity of a layer line does not depend on disorder of the filament lattice. The intensity of the first actin layer A1 line is independent of tilting of the "lever arm" region of the myosin heads. Myosin-based modulation of actin labeling pattern leads not only to the appearance of the myosin and "beating" actin-myosin layer lines in rigor diffraction patterns, but also to changes in the intensities of some actin layer lines compared to random labeling. Results of the modeling were compared to experimental data obtained from small bundles of rabbit muscle fibers. A good fit of the data was obtained without recourse to global parameter search. The approach developed here provides a background for quantitative interpretation of the x-ray diffraction data from contracting muscle and understanding structural changes underlying muscle contraction.  相似文献

Electron micrographic tomograms of isometrically active insect flight muscle, freeze substituted after rapid freezing, show binding of single myosin heads at varying angles that is largely restricted to actin target zones every 38.7 nm. To quantify the parameters that govern this pattern, we measured the number and position of attached myosin heads by tracing cross-bridges through the three-dimensional tomogram from their origins on 14.5-nm-spaced shelves along the thick filament to their thin filament attachments in the target zones. The relationship between the probability of cross-bridge formation and axial offset between the shelf and target zone center was well fitted by a Gaussian distribution. One head of each myosin whose origin is close to an actin target zone forms a cross-bridge most of the time. The probability of cross-bridge formation remains high for myosin heads originating within 8 nm axially of the target zone center and is low outside 12 nm. We infer that most target zone cross-bridges are nearly perpendicular to the filaments (60% within 11 degrees ). The results suggest that in isometric contraction, most cross-bridges maintain tension near the beginning of their working stroke at angles near perpendicular to the filament axis. Moreover, in the absence of filament sliding, cross-bridges cannot change tilt angle while attached nor reach other target zones while detached, so may cycle repeatedly on and off the same actin target monomer.  相似文献

A direct modeling approach was used to quantitatively interpret the two-dimensional x-ray diffraction patterns obtained from contracting mammalian skeletal muscle. The dependence of the calculated layer line intensities on the number of myosin heads bound to the thin filaments, on the conformation of these heads and on their mode of attachment to actin, was studied systematically. Results of modeling are compared to experimental data collected from permeabilized fibers from rabbit skeletal muscle contracting at 5°C and 30°C and developing low and high isometric tension, respectively. The results of the modeling show that: i), the intensity of the first actin layer line is independent of the tilt of the light chain domains of myosin heads and can be used as a measure of the fraction of myosin heads stereospecifically attached to actin; ii), during isometric contraction at near physiological temperature, the fraction of these heads is ∼40% and the light chain domains of the majority of them are more perpendicular to the filament axis than in rigor; and iii), at low temperature, when isometric tension is low, a majority of the attached myosin heads are bound to actin nonstereospecifically whereas at high temperature and tension they are bound stereospecifically.  相似文献

The vertebrate skeletal muscle gives rise to a series of x-ray reflexions indexed as orders (n) of 77 nm, the even orders being meridional whereas the odd orders being near-meridional. The diffraction intensities associated with these reflexions originate from the axial period of 39 nm attributable to the repeat of troponin-tropomyosin on the thin filament. In the present study, the x-ray intensities of the furthest inner reflexions, A2 (n = 2) reflexion at an axial spacing of 1/39 nm-1 and A4 (n = 4) reflexion at 1/19 nm, of this series were measured with a time resolved manner. Upon activation of the frog striated muscle, the two reflexions underwent biphasic time courses of the intensity changes. With A2 reflexion, a rapid intensity increase by 16%, being completed by the time when tension rises to 5%, was followed by a slow intensity decrease down to 50%, which was associated with the tension rise. In both phases, lateral widths remained unchanged. A4 reflexion also behaves in the same way, although the first phase (the intensity increase) was not clear due to unsatisfactory statistics. We interpret phase one as being caused by conformational change of the troponin-tropomyosin complex upon binding of Ca2+ to troponin, whereas phase two being due to direct contribution of the mass of the myosin heads bound to the thin filament, although possible contribution of conformational changes of the regulatory proteins to phase two is not excluded. The results indicated that the calcium activation of the thin filament leads the onset of the actomyosin interaction.  相似文献

Computer modelling related to the real dimensions of both the whole filament and the myosin molecule subfragments has revealed two alternative modes for myosin molecule packing which lead to the head disposition similar to that observed by EM on the surface of the cross-bridge zone of the relaxed vertebrate skeletal muscle thick filaments. One of the modes has been known for three decades and is usually incorporated into the so-called three-stranded model. The new mode differs from the former one in two aspects: (1) myosin heads are grouped into asymmetrical cross-bridge crowns instead of symmetrical ones; (2) not the whole myosin tail, but only a 43-nm C-terminus of each of them is straightened and near-parallel to the filament axis, the rest of the tail is twisted. Concurrent exploration of these alternative modes has revealed their influence on the filament features. The parameter values for the filament models as well as for the building units depicting the myosin molecule subfragments are verified by experimental data found in the literature. On the basis of the new mode for myosin molecule packing a complete bipolar structure of the thick filament is created.  相似文献

If the subfragment-2 (S2) portion of the myosin cross-bridge to actin does not lie parallel to the myofilament axes then when a muscle fiber contracts, there will be a radial component to the cross-bridge force. When the subfragment-1 (S1) portion of the cross-bridge attaches to actin with its long axis projecting through the filament axis, the magnitude of the radial force depends upon the azimuthal location of the actin site, but when the attachment of the S1 to actin is slewed, as in the reconstruction of Moore et al. (J. Mol. Biol., 1970, 50:279-294), then for a single cross-bridge the radial component of the cross-bridge force is not quite so sensitive to actin site location and is approximately 0.1 the axial component. In both cases, the ratio of the radial to axial force decreases with decreasing filament separation. If the radial-axial force ratio for each cross-bridge is approximately 0.1, then at full overlap in a frog skeletal muscle fiber the radial component of the cross-bridge force accompanying full activation will exert a compressive pressure of approximately 5 X 10(-3) atm. This would have little effect upon an intact muscle fiber where the volume constraints are likely osmotic, but it might produce a 1-2% change in filament spacing in a "skinned" muscle fiber from which the sarcolemma had been removed. These computations assume that the S2 link between the S1 head and the myosin filament does not support a bending moment of shear. If it does, then the radial component of the cross-bridge will be either greater or less, depending on the specific cross-bridge geometry.  相似文献

We have used electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to investigate the orientation, rotational motion, and actin-binding properties of rabbit psoas muscle cross-bridges in the presence of the nonhydrolyzable nucleotide analogue, 5'-adenylylimido-diphosphate (AMPPNP). This analogue is known to decrease muscle tension without affecting its stiffness, suggesting an attached cross-bridge state different from rigor. We spin-labeled the SH1 groups on myosin heads and performed conventional EPR to obtain high-resolution information about the orientational distribution, and saturation transfer EPR to measure microsecond rotational motion. At 4 degrees C and 100 mM ionic strength, we find that AMPPNP increases both the orientational disorder and the microsecond rotational motion of myosin heads. However, computer analysis of digitized spectra shows that no new population of probes is observed that does not match either rigor or relaxation in both orientation and motion. At 4 degrees C, under nearly saturating conditions of 16 mM AMPPNP (Kd = 3.0 mM, determined from competition between AMPPNP and an ADP spin label), 47.5 +/- 2.5% of myosin heads are dynamically disoriented (as in relaxation) without a significant decrease in rigor stiffness, whereas the remainder are rigidly oriented as in rigor. The oriented heads correspond to actin-attached heads in a ternary complex, and the disoriented heads correspond to detached heads, as indicated by EPR experiments with spin-labeled subfragment 1 (S1) that provide independent measurements of orientation and binding. We take these findings as evidence for a single-headed cross-bridge that is as stiff as the double-headed rigor cross-bridge. The data are consistent with a model in which, in the presence of saturating AMPPNP, one head of each cross-bridge binds actin about 10 times more weakly, whereas the remaining head binds at least 10 times more strongly, than extrinsic S1. Thus, although there is no evidence for heads being attached at nonrigor angles, the attached cross-bridge differs from that of rigor. The heterogeneous behavior of heads is probably due to steric effects of the filament lattice.  相似文献

Muscle myosin filament backbones are aggregates of long coiled-coil α-helical myosin rods, with the myosin heads arranged approximately helically on the filament surface, but the details of the rod packing are not known. Computed Fourier transforms of plausible molecular packing models for the vertebrate striated muscle myosin filament have been compared with observed high-angle X-ray diffraction patterns from plaice fin muscle. Models considered include those in which the coiled-coil rod parts of myosin are packed into various kinds of subfilaments or into a curved molecular crystalline layer. A general conclusion is that if the myosin rods are tilted by less than about 1° or more than about 3° from the filament long axis, very poor agreement is obtained between the computed and observed high-angle diffraction patterns. Qualitative comparison of calculated Fourier transforms, taken together with electron micrograph information, shows that the curved molecular crystal model and a model with hexagonally close-packed 4-nm subfilaments appear to explain the whole set of observations more satisfactorily than the alternatives. It is argued on other grounds that of these two possibilities the curved molecular crystal model is the more plausible.  相似文献

Changes in the x-ray diffraction pattern from a frog skeletal muscle were recorded after a quick release or stretch, which was completed within one millisecond, at a time resolution of 0.53 ms using the high-flux beamline at the SPring-8 third-generation synchrotron radiation facility. Reversibility of the effects of the length changes was checked by quickly restoring the muscle length. Intensities of seven reflections were measured. A large, instantaneous intensity drop of a layer line at an axial spacing of 1/10.3 nm(-1) after a quick release and stretch, and its partial recovery by reversal of the length change, indicate a conformational change of myosin heads that are attached to actin. Intensity changes on the 14.5-nm myosin layer line suggest that the attached heads alter their radial mass distribution upon filament sliding. Intensity changes of the myosin reflections at 1/21.5 and 1/7.2 nm(-1) are not readily explained by a simple axial swing of cross-bridges. Intensity changes of the actin-based layer lines at 1/36 and 1/5.9 nm(-1) are not explained by it either, suggesting a structural change in actin molecules.  相似文献

By using synchrotron radiation and an imaging plate for recording diffraction patterns, we have obtained high-resolution x-ray patterns from relaxed rabbit psoas muscle at temperatures ranging from 1 degree C to 30 degrees C. This allowed us to obtain intensity profiles of the first six myosin layer lines and apply a model-building approach for structural analysis. At temperatures 20 degrees C and higher, the layer lines are sharp with clearly defined maxima. Modeling based on the data obtained at 20 degrees C reveals that the average center of the cross-bridges is at 135 A from the center of the thick filament and both of the myosin heads appear to wrap around the backbone. At 10 degrees C and lower, the layer lines become very weak and diffuse scattering increases considerably. At 4 degrees C, the peak of the first layer line shifts toward the meridian from 0.0047 to 0.0038 A(-1) and decreases in intensity approximately by a factor of four compared to that at 20 degrees C, although the intensities of higher-order layer lines remain approximately 10-15% of the first layer line. Our modeling suggests that as the temperature is lowered from 20 degrees C to 4 degrees C the center of cross-bridges extends radially away from the center of the filament (135 A to 175 A). Furthermore, the fraction of helically ordered cross-bridges decreases at least by a factor of two, while the isotropic disorder (the temperature factor) remains approximately unchanged. Our results on the order/disordering effects of temperature are in general agreement with earlier results of Wray [Wray, J. 1987. Structure of relaxed myosin filaments in relation to nucleotide state in vertebrate skeletal muscle. J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 8:62a (Abstr.)] and Lowy et al. (Lowy, J., D. Popp, and A. A. Stewart. 1991. X-ray studies of order-disorder transitions in the myosin heads of skinned rabbit psoas muscles. Biophys. J. 60:812-824). and support Poulsen and Lowy's hypothesis of coexistence of ordered and disordered cross-bridge populations in muscle (Poulsen, F. R., and J. Lowy. 1983. Small angle scattering from myosin heads in relaxed and rigor frog skeletal muscle. Nature (Lond.). 303:146-152.). However, our results added new insights into the disordered population. Present modeling together with data analysis (Xu, S., S. Malinchik, Th. Kraft, B. Brenner, and L. C. Yu. 1997. X-ray diffraction studies of cross-bridges weakly bound to actin in relaxed skinned fibers of rabbit psoas muscle. Biophys. J. 73:000-000) indicate that in a relaxed muscle, cross-bridges are distributed in three populations: those that are ordered on the thick filament helix and those that are disordered; and within the disordered population, some cross-bridges are detached and some are weakly attached to actin. One critical conclusion of the present study is that the apparent order <--> disorder transition as a function of temperature is not due to an increase/decrease in thermal motion (temperature factor) for the entire population, but a redistribution of cross-bridges among the three populations. Changing the temperature leads to a change in the fraction of cross-bridges located on the helix, while changing the ionic strength at a given temperature affects the disordered population leading to a change in the relative fraction of cross-bridges detached from and weakly attached to actin. Since the redistribution is reversible, we suggest that there is an equilibrium among the three populations of cross-bridges.  相似文献

Intensity fluctuation spectroscopy has been used successfully as a probe that can detect an increase in high-frequency internal motions of isolated thick filaments of Limulus muscle upon the addition of calcium ions. We have attributed such motions to cross-bridge motion instead of to an increase in the flexibility of the filament backbone. Here we show that after cleavage of the S-1 and then the S-2 moieties with papain, cross-linking the myosin heads to the filament backbone, or heat denaturation (42 degrees C, 10 min), the increase in the high frequency internal motions in the thick filaments no longer occurs. Congo Red, which has been shown to induce shortening of isolated myofibrils, also increases the high-frequency motions of the isolated filaments. Furthermore, the increase is suppressed by treating the filaments with a myosin ATPase inhibitor such as vanadate ions (10 mM) or by replacing ATP with either an equimolar CrADP or the nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue beta, gamma-imido-adenine-5'-triphosphate (AMP-PNP). Calcium ions have a similar effect on isolated thick filaments from scallop muscle, where the myosin is known to be regulatory. Calcium ions have no such effect on thick filaments isolated from frog muscle, which is believed not to be regulated by calcium binding to myosin. These results confirm our earlier supposition that the additional high frequency internal motions of the thick filaments isolated from striated muscle of Limulus are related to the energy dependent, active cross-bridge motions.  相似文献
