Fluorescence probe studies of the state of tropomyosin in reconstituted muscle thin filaments 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The monomer fluorescence of N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide-labeled tropomyosin bound to F-actin (PTm-actin) increases when myosin subfragment 1 (S1) binds to actin and is half complete when only approximately 1 S1 is bound to 7 actin subunits [Ishii, Y., & Lehrer, S. S. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 6631-6638]. Similar studies of the binding of S1 and S1-ADP to fully reconstituted thin filaments [PTm-actin-troponin (Tn)] are now reported. The pyrene monomer fluorescence change was half complete when approximately 0.5 S1/7 actin subunits and approximately 1.5 S1/7 actin subunits were bound in the presence and absence of Ca2+, respectively. In the presence of Mg2+-ADP, when S1 binding is weakened, the S1 binding profiles and fluorescence changes were sigmoidal, with the cooperative transitions occurring at lower [S1] in the presence of Ca2+ as first shown by Greene and Eisenberg for S1 binding [Greene, L., & Eisenberg, E. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 2616-2620]. It was possible to fit both the binding and fluorescence data with the same parameters of a two-state (weak and strong S1 binding) cooperative binding model [Hill, T., Eisenberg, E., & Greene, L. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 3186-3190] for each Ca2+ situation if the fluorescence change is interpreted as the fraction of tropomyosin (Tm) units in the strong S1 binding state. These data indicate that the fluorescence change is a direct measure of the S1-induced change of state of Tm in the fully reconstituted thin filament.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Cooperative turning on of myosin subfragment 1 adenosinetriphosphatase activity by the troponin-tropomyosin-actin complex 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
In the field of muscle regulation, there is still controversy as to whether Ca2+, alone, is able to shift muscle from the relaxed to the fully active state or whether cross-bridge binding also contributes to turning on muscle contraction. Our previous studies on the binding of myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) to the troponin-tropomyosin-actin complex (regulated actin) in the absence of ATP suggested that, even in Ca2+, the binding of rigor cross-bridges is necessary to turn on regulated actin fully. In the present study, we demonstrate that this is also the case for the turning on of the acto.S-1 ATPase activity. By itself, Ca2+ does not fully turn on the acto.S-1 ATPase activity; at low actin concentration, there is almost a 10-fold increase in ATPase activity when the regulated actin is fully turned on by the binding of rigor cross-bridges in the presence of Ca2+. This large increase in ATPase activity does not occur because the binding of S-1.ATP to actin is increased; the binding of S-1.ATP is almost the same to maximally turned-off and maximally turned-on regulated actin. The increase in ATPase activity occurs because of a marked increase in the rate of Pi release so that when the regulated actin is fully turned on, Pi release becomes so rapid that the rate-limiting step precedes the Pi release step. These results suggest that, while Ca2+, alone, does not fully turn on the regulated actin filament in solution, the binding of rigor cross-bridges can turn it on fully. If force-producing cross-bridges play the same role in vivo as rigor cross-bridges in vitro, there may be a synergistic effect of Ca2+ and cross-bridge binding in turning on muscle contraction which could greatly sharpen the response of the muscle fiber to Ca2+. 相似文献

Removal of tropomyosin overlap modifies cooperative binding of myosin S-1 to reconstituted thin filaments of rabbit striated muscle 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Cooperative binding of myosin S-1.ADP to regulated F-actin was previously reported and has been interpreted by a two-state model in which an important source of cooperativity is nearest neighbor interactions between the 7-actin.tropomyosin (TM).troponin units (functional units) (Hill, T.L., Eisenberg, E., and Greene, L. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 3186-3190). It has been postulated that the head-to-tail overlap between adjacent TM molecules is the structural basis of the nearest neighbor interactions. We tested the hypothesis by examining S-1.ADP binding to reconstituted regulated F-actin containing either intact TM or nonpolymerizable TM from which the COOH-terminal 11 residues were removed. In the absence of Ca2+, substitution of nonpolymerizable TM for TM reduced significantly the slope of the steeply rising phase of the sigmoidal S-1.ADP binding curve. Nevertheless, considerable residual cooperativity remained. Analysis of the data using the two-state model of Hill et al. suggests that removal of TM overlap abolishes nearest neighbor interactions, while the concerted change of the state of 7 actins in a functional unit can account for the residual cooperativity. 相似文献

When subfragment-1 of rabbit skeletal myosin was extensively modified with N-ethylmaleimide, the protein became strongly associable to actin in the presence of MgATP at low ionic strength, while the ATPase ceased to be activated by actin. Various concentrations of the modified protein were mixed with 10 μmol of pure actin or actin complexed with tropomyosin, and the fraction β of actin saturated with the modified protein in each mixture was determined by an ultracentrifugal method. We then added 0.3 μmol of unmodified subfragment-1 to the same sets of mixtures as used in the above experiments and determined the rate of ATP hydrolysis V by unmodified subfragment-1 as a function of β. A biphasic V-β relation was obtained for the tropomyosin-actin complex: when β was increased continuously from zero, the rate first increased substantially, had a maximum value more than tenfold larger than the initial at β ~- 0.3, and finally decreased to zero. In contrast, the V-β profile for pure actin deviated downwards from a linear relation, showing that there was a weak repulsive interaction between the modified and unmodified subfragment-1 species bound to the actin filament. The occurrence of such a repulsion was interpreted in terms of a steric hinderance model. Assuming that the same kind of repulsion underlay the biphasic V-β relation for the tropomyosin-actin complex, we calculated the relation of V′-β in an ideal case where it was absent. The result was also biphasic. We studied regulated actin in the presence and absence of Ca2+ by the same method and obtained biphasic V′-β relations in both cases.The experimental results were analyzed by a two-state model based on the proposal of Bremel & Weber (1972) that, within tropomyosin-actin or the regulated actin complex, n actin monomers undergo “off”/“on” transitions as a unit. Interactions between units were ignored in order to estimate the apparent size n, as well as the equilibrium constant L for the transition in the absence of myosin heads. Within the framework of allosteric theory (Monod et al., 1965), we derived formulae fit for data analysis, found a satisfactory agreement of the experimental and theoretical results, and obtained values of n = 11, and L = 37 for the tropomyosin-actin complex, and n = 16, L = 9 for regulated actin in the presence of Ca2+. The parameters in its absence could not be determined separately from the V?β relation which, however, was well-approximated with a combination of n = 16 and L = 10,000. It was also shown that tropomyosin-actin complex in the “on” state activated subfragment-1 ATPase eightfold more strongly than pure actin, and 2.2 to 2.6-fold more strongly than regulated actin in the “on” state. The results are compared with those provided by Greene & Eisenberg (1980), Hill et al. (1980) and Trybus & Taylor (1980) and discussed in conjunction with the double helical structure of tropomyosin-actin and regulated actin filaments.A simple allosteric calculation is presented in the Appendix to explain the well-known biphasic dependence on substrate concentration of the rate of regulated actin-subfragment-1 MgATPase (Bremel et al., 1972; Weber & Murray, 1973), with a reference to Deshcherevsky (1977). 相似文献

Caldesmon inhibits the cooperative turning-on of the smooth muscle heavy meromyosin by tropomyosin-actin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The 38-kDa chymotryptic fragment of caldesmon, which possesses the actin/calmodulin binding domain, was purified and utilized to study the mechanism for the inhibition of acto-myosin ATPase by caldesmon. The intact caldesmon inhibited the acto-HMM ATPase although it caused an increase in the binding of HMM to actin, presumably due to the interaction between the S-2 region of HMM and the caldesmon located on the actin filament. The 38-kDa fragment, which lacks the S-2 binding domain, inhibited both the acto-HMM ATPase and the HMM binding to actin. The ATPase and the HMM binding to actin decreased in parallel on increasing the 38-kDa fragment bound to actin. In the presence of tropomyosin, the ATPase activity fell more rapidly than did the HMM binding to actin. Binding of intact caldesmon or 38-kDa fragment to actin inhibited the cooperative turning-on of tropomyosin-actin by NEM.S-1, which forms rigor complexes in the presence of ATP. The absence of cooperative turning-on of the acto-HMM ATPase by rigor complexes in the presence of 38-kDa fragment was associated with an inhibition of the binding of HMM to tropomyosin-actin. Addition of NEM.S-1 to tropomyosin-actin-caldesmon caused a gradual decrease in the caldesmon-induced binding of HMM to actin. The calmodulin restored the caldesmon-induced binding of HMM to tropomyosin-actin, but it had only a slight effect on the acto-HMM ATPase. These data suggest that the cooperative turning-on of the smooth muscle tropomyosin-actin by rigor bonds is modulated by the interaction of caldesmon, tropomyosin, and calmodulin on the thin filament. 相似文献

Cooperative binding to the Ca2+-specific sites of troponin C in regulated actin and actomyosin 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The Ca2+-binding component of troponin (TnC) and its proteolytic fragments containing Ca2+-binding sites I-III (TH1) or sites III and IV (TR2C) have been labeled with the fluorescent probes dansylaziridine (DANZ) at methionine 25 or 5-(iodoacetamidoethyl)amino-naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (AEDANS) at cysteine-98. These probes report binding of Ca2+ to the low and high affinity sites, respectively. Fluorescence changes as a function of [Ca2+] were measured for the free peptides, their complexes with troponin I + troponin T, and these complexes bound to actin-tropomyosin in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP with and without myosin. An apparent Hill coefficient of 1.0-1.1 has been obtained for the Ca2+-induced fluorescence changes in TnC, its fragments, and their ternary complexes regardless of the label used. When a ternary complex containing appropriately labeled TnC or its fragment is bound to the actin-tropomyosin complex, the Hill coefficient for the titration of the low affinity sites increases to 1.5-1.6 and further increases to greater than 2 in the presence of myosin. To interpret the apparent Hill coefficients, we used a model containing two binding sites and a single reporter of the conformational change. Hill coefficients between 1.0 and 1.2 can be obtained for the fluorescence change without true cooperativity in metal binding, depending on the mechanism of the fluorescence change; i.e. the contribution of the singly or doubly occupied species to the fluorescence change. A Hill coefficient between 1.2 and 2, however, always indicates cooperativity in binding independently of the mechanism. Thus, our finding that fluorescence titrations of Ca2+ binding to TnCDANZ bound to actin-tropomyosin exhibit a Hill coefficient of 1.5 in the absence of myosin and 2.4 in its presence indicates the existence of true positive cooperativity in metal binding to sites I and II. No cooperativity was observed for AEDANS-labeled complexes that reflect Ca2+-binding to the high affinity sites. Plots of the Ca2+ dependence of myosin ATPase activity activated by actin-tropomyosin in the presence of any of the troponin complexes used had apparent Hill coefficients of approximately 4. The higher value suggests cooperative interactions in the activation of ATPase beyond those involved in Ca2+-binding to the Ca2+-specific sites. 相似文献

Actin-tropomyosin-troponin has three structural states, but the functional properties of regulation can be explained with models having two functional states. As a step towards assigning functional properties to all the structural states, we examined fluorescent probes that monitor changes in troponin and tropomyosin. Tropomyosin labeled with pyrene-iodoacetamide is thought to reflect the transition to the most active state, whereas N-((2-iodoacetoxy)ethyl)-N-methyl)-amino-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-labeled troponin I is thought to monitor the transition to any state other than the inactive state. The fraction of actin in an active state determined from pyrene excimer fluorescence agreed with that calculated from light-scattering measurements of myosin subfragment 1 (S1)-ADP to regulated actin in both the presence and absence of Ca2+ over a range of ionic strength conditions. The only exceptions were conditions where the binding of S1-ADP to actin was too strong to measure accurately. Pyrene-tropomyosin excimer fluorescence was Ca2+ dependent and so reflected the change in population caused by both Ca2+ binding and S1-ADP binding. Pyrene labeling of tropomyosin did not cause a large perturbation of the transition among states of regulated actin. Using pyrene-tropomyosin fluorescence we were able to extend the ionic strength dependence of the parameters describing the co-operativity of binding of S1-ADP to actin as low as 0.1 M. The probes on tropomyosin and troponin I had different responses to Ca2+ and S1-ADP binding. These different sensitivities can be explained by an intermediate between the inactive and active states of regulated actin. 相似文献

Mechanism of regulation of cardiac actin-myosin subfragment 1 by troponin-tropomyosin 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The effect of Ca2+ on the interaction of bovine cardiac myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) with actin regulated by cardiac troponin-tropomyosin was evaluated. The ratios of actin to troponin and to tropomyosin were adjusted to optimize the Ca2+-dependent regulation of the steady-state actin-activated magnesium adenosinetriphosphatase (MgATPase) rate of myosin S-1. At 25 degrees C, pH 6.9, 16 mM ionic strength, the extrapolated values for maximal adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) turnover rate at saturating actin, Vmax, were 6.5 s-1 in the presence of Ca2+ and 0.24 s-1 in the absence of Ca2+. In contrast to this 27-fold regulation of ATP hydrolysis, there was negligible Ca2+-dependent regulation of cardiac myosin S-1 binding to actin. In the presence of ATP, the dissociation constant of regulated actin and cardiac myosin S-1 was 32 microM in the presence of Ca2+ and 40 microM in the presence of [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid. These dissociation constants are indistinguishable from the concentrations of actin needed to reach half-saturation of the myosin S-1 MgATPase rates, 37 microM actin in the presence of Ca2+ and 53 microM in its absence. Although there may be Ca2+-dependent regulation of cross-bridge binding in the intact heart, the present biochemical studies suggest that cardiac regulation critically involves other parts of the cross-bridge cycle, evidenced here by almost complete Ca2+-mediated control of the myosin S-1 MgATPase rate even when the myosin S-1 is actin-bound. 相似文献

Effect of skeletal muscle myosin light chain 2 on the Ca2+-sensitive interaction of myosin and heavy meromyosin with regulated actin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
P D Wagner 《Biochemistry》1984,23(25):5950-5956
A low-speed centrifugation assay has been used to examine the binding of myosin filaments to F-action and to regulated actin in the presence of MgATP. While the cross-linking of F-actin by myosin was Ca2+ insensitive, much less regulated actin was cross-linked by myosin in the absence of Ca2+ than in its presence. Removal of the 19000-dalton, phosphorylatable light chain from myosin resulted in the loss of this Ca2+ sensitivity. Readdition of this light chain partially restored the Ca2+-sensitive cross-linking of regulated actin by myosin. Urea gel electrophoresis has been used to distinguish that fraction of heavy meromyosin which contains intact phosphorylatable light chain from that which contains a 17000-dalton fragment of this light chain. In the absence of Ca2+, heavy meromyosin which contained digested light chain bound to regulated actin in MgATP about 10-fold more tightly than did heavy meromyosin which contained intact light chain. The regulated actin-activated ATPases of heavy meromyosin also showed that cleavage of this light chain causes a substantial increase in the affinity of heavy meromyosin for regulated actin in the absence of Ca2+. Thus, the binding of both myosin and heavy meromyosin to regulated actin is Ca2+ sensitive, and this sensitivity is dependent on the phosphorylatable light chain. 相似文献

Ca2+ binding to pig cardiac myosin, subfragment-1 (S-1), and g2 light chain were investigated by the equilibrium dialysis method. Two different S-1s, one of which can bind Ca2+ and another which cannot, were prepared. In order to calculate the free Ca2+ concentrations adequately, the amounts of Ca2+ included in various chemicals and proteins were measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Ca2+ contamination was greatest in KCl among the chemicals tested. In addition, the Ca2+ strongly bound to myosin and S-1 was released in the presence of Mg2+. When Mg2+ was not added, the Ca2+-binding constant of myosin was 4 x 10(5) M-1 and the maximum binding number was 1.8 mol per mol of myosin. Cooperativity between the 2 Ca2+ bindings could not be demonstrated. Mg2+ strongly inhibited the Ca2+ binding: at a free Ca2+ concentration of 1 x 10(-5) M, 1.3 mol Ca2+ was bound to myosin in the absence of Mg2+, but 0.6 and 0.2 mol were bound in the presence of 0.3 and 4.5 mM Mg2+, respectively. The Ca2+-binding constant of S-1, which contained a 15,000 dalton component, was 8.6 x 10(5) M-1, and the maximum binding number was 0.7 mol per mol of S-1. The 15,000 dalton component could be exchanged with extraneous g2. S-1 which lacked the 15,000 component could not bind Ca2+ at free Ca2+ concentrations less than 0.1 mM. The Ca2+ binding to free g2 light chain was about 100 times weaker than the binding to myosin, as indicated previously for skeletal myosin (Okamoto, Y. & Yagi, K. (1976) J. Biochem. 80, 111--120). The Ca2+-binding constant was obtained as 4.1 x 10(3) M-1 in the absence of added Mg2+. Phosphorylation of g2 light chain did not affect the Ca2+ binding to the free g2 light chain or to myosin. Ca2+ binding to cardiac native tropomyosin was also measured. 相似文献

A one-dimensional kinetic Ising model is developed to describe the binding of myosin subfragment 1 (SF-1) to regulated actin. The model allows for cooperative interactions between individual actin sites with bound SF-1 ligands rather than assuming that groups of actin monomer sites change their state in a cooperative fashion. With the triplet closure approximation, the model yields a set of 16 independent differential (master) equations which may be solved numerically to yield the extent of binding as a function of time. The predictions of the model are compared with experiments on the transient binding of SF-1 to regulated actin in the presence of Ca2+ and in the absence of Ca2+ with varying amounts of SF-1 prebound to the actin filament and on the equilibrium binding of SF-1 X ADP to regulated actin in the absence of Ca2+. In all cases, the calculations fit the data to within the experimental errors. In the case of SF-1 X ADP, the results suggest that a repulsive interaction exists between adjacently bound SF-1 at the ends of two neighboring seven-site actin units. 相似文献

Needle-shaped crystals of the Ca2+-binding protein (CBP) isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum were studied with regard to the influence of Ca2+, K+, and H+ on its solubility and cation binding. The solubility of CBP is sharply decreased with concentration of Ca2+, whereas K+ increased it. Aggregation of the CBP and crystal formation is correlated with the binding of Ca2+. The Ca2+ bound to the crystalline CBP is two to three times higher than that of the soluble form. A strong apparent positive cooperative behavior of Ca2+ binding by CBP was observed concomitant with the shift in equilibrium from the soluble to the crystalline form. From the steepest Hill slope we obtained Hill coefficients of 3.3 for soluble CBP and 14 for the transition between soluble and crystalline forms of CBP. A detailed treatment is presented to validate the applicability of Hill plots for the combined binding and crystallization process. Two-thirds of the Ca2+-binding sites were K+ sensitive and one-third were K+ insensitive. An increase in H+ concentration decreased the Ca2+ binding by crystalline CBP without affecting its solubility, with a pK value of 6.2 determined for this process. These results indicate that the equilibrium between the soluble and crystalline forms of CBP is determined by the amount and nature of the bound cations, Ca2+, K+, and H+. They suggest the possibility that a cycle of aggregation and solubilization of CBP attends the uptake and release of Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, respectively. 相似文献

We find that at 6 degrees C in the presence of 4 mM MgPPi, at low or moderate ionic strength, skinned rabbit psoas fibers exhibit a stiffness and an equatorial x-ray diffraction pattern similar to that of rigor fibers. As the ionic strength is increased in the absence of Ca2+, both the stiffness and the equatorial x-ray diffraction pattern approach those of the relaxed state. This suggests that, as in solution, increasing ionic strength weakens the affinity of myosin cross-bridges for actin, which results in a decrease in the number of cross-bridges attached. The effect is Ca2+-sensitive. Assuming that stiffness is a measure of the number of cross-bridge heads attached, in the absence of Ca2+, the fraction of attached cross-bridge heads varies from approximately 75% to approximately 25% over an ionic strength range where ionic strength in solution weakens the binding constant for myosin subfragment-1 binding to unregulated actin by less than a factor of 3. Therefore, this phenomenon appears similar to the cooperative Ca2+-sensitive binding of S1 to regulated actin in solution (Greene, L. E., and E. Eisenberg, 1980, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 77:2616). By comparing the binding constants in solution and in the fiber under similar conditions, we find that the "effective actin concentration," that is, the concentration that gives the same fraction of S1 molecules bound to actin in solution as cross-bridge heads are bound to actin in a fiber, is in the millimolar range.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Excimer fluorescence of pyrenyliodoacetamide-labeled tropomyosin: a probe of the state of tropomyosin in reconstituted muscle thin filaments 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Rabbit skeletal tropomyosin (Tm) specifically labeled at cysteine groups with N-(1-pyrenyl)-iodoacetamide (PIA) exhibits excimer fluorescence. The excimer fluorescence was sensitive to the local conformation of Tm, to actin binding, and, in reconstituted thin filaments, to the Tm state change induced by binding of myosin subfragment 1 (S1). The properties of PIATm were similar to previously studied pyrenylmaleimide-labeled Tm (PMTm) [Ishii, Y., & Lehrer, S.S. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 6631] except that S1 binding to actin-Tm increased the excimer fluorescence in contrast to the time-dependent decrease seen for PMTm. The fluorescence properties of PIATm are sensitive to the Tm chain-chain interaction via equilibria among pyrene configurations and nonfluorescent dimer as well as the monomer and excimer-forming configurations. The effect of bound troponin (Tn) on the excimer fluorescence of PIATm in the reconstituted systems was dependent on ionic strength with a slight Ca2+ dependence. S1 titrations in the absence and presence of Tn and Ca2+ indicated that the excimer fluorescence probes the state change of Tm from the weak S1 binding state to the strong S1 binding state which is facilitated by Ca2+ [Hill et al. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 3186]. Binding of MgADP-S1 and MgAMPPNP-S1 produced the same total excimer fluorescence change as for nucleotide-free S1, showing that the strong S1 binding state of Tm-actin is independent of nucleotide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin from Physarum polycephalum decreases when it binds Ca2+ and increases when it loses Ca2+. This Ca-inhibition is observed with phosphorylated myosin [Kohama, K. (1990) Trend, Pharmacol. Sci. 11, 433-435]. The activity of dephosphorylated myosin remained at a low level both in the presence and absence of Ca2+, although Ca(2+)-binding ability was much the same as that of the phosphorylated myosin. The effect of phosphorylation has been studied at a conventional actin concentration, which is comparable with that of myosin by weight. When the concentration of actin was increased by 10 times, the dephosphorylated myosin became actin-activatable in the absence of Ca2+, and Ca-inhibition was recovered. As actin exists quite abundantly in non-muscle cells of Physarum, myosin phosphorylation plays virtually no role in regulating actin-myosin-ATP interaction in vivo. Physiologically the interaction may be regulated by Ca2+ by binding to and subsequent release from myosin. Latex beads coated by either phosphorylated or dephosphorylated myosin moved ATP-dependently on the actin cables of Characeae cells to the same extent in the absence of Ca2+, but the movement was abolished by increasing Ca2+. When the interaction was examined by monitoring the movement of actin filaments on myosin fixed on a coverslip, the movement and Ca-inhibition of the movement were detected with phosphorylated, not dephosphorylated, myosin [Okagaki, T., Higashi-Fujime, S., & Kohama, K.

The effect of troponin-tropomyosin on the binding of heavy meromyosin to actin in the presence of ATP 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the presence of ATP and the absence of Ca2+, the binding of myosin subfragment-1 to actin is only slightly inhibited by troponin-tropomyosin, while the actin-activated subfragment-1 ATPase rate is 95% inhibited (Chalovich, J. M., Chock, P. B., and Eisenberg, E. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 575-578). On the other hand, it has been reported the troponin-tropomyosin markedly inhibits the binding of heavy meromyosin (HMM) to actin in the presence of ATP and the absence of Ca2+, providing that the HMM has intact light chain 2 (Wagner, P. D., and Stone, D. (1982) Biochemistry 22, 1334-1342). In the present study, we reinvestigated the binding of HMM with 85% intact light chain 2, to regulated actin. If we assume that only a single population of HMM is present, the binding constant of HMM to regulated actin at 19 mM ionic strength is only about 3 times larger in the presence of Ca2+ than in the absence of Ca2+ (2.4 X 10(4) M-1 compared to 8.8 X 10(3) M-1). On the other hand, if we correct for the population of HMM with degraded light chain 2, the difference in the binding constants in the presence and absence of Ca2+ may be as great as 5-fold. A double binding experiment also suggested that HMM with intact light chain 2 binds at most 5 times more strongly to regulated actin in the presence of Ca2+ than in its absence. We conclude that, just as with subfragment-1, the primary effect of troponin-tropomyosin in regulating the acto HMM ATPase activity is to inhibit a kinetic step in the ATPase cycle. However, our data with HMM also suggest that, in addition to this primary effect, troponin-tropomyosin may modulate the binding of the cross-bridge to actin in relaxed muscle to a small extent. 相似文献

Activation of actin-cardiac myosin subfragment 1 MgATPase rate by Ca2+ shows cooperativity intrinsic to the thin filament 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
L S Tobacman 《Biochemistry》1987,26(2):492-497
The magnesium adenosinetriphosphatase (MgATPase) rate of cardiac myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) was studied in the presence of regulated actin in order to investigate the mechanism by which Ca2+ cooperatively induces cardiac muscle contraction. The MgATPase rate increased cooperatively with Ca2+, exhibiting a Hill coefficient of 1.8 and 50% activation at pCa 5.75. This cooperative response occurred despite an experimental design excluding several potential sources of cooperativity. First, to exclude spurious cooperativity due to erroneous calculation of pCa at low ionic strength, the affinities of Ca2+ and Mg2+ for [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA) were measured by a novel method using Quin 2. At pH 7.06, 25 degrees C, and mu = 30 mM, the KD was 140 nM for CaEGTA and 2.7 mM for MgEGTA. Second, the cooperativity was not produced by actin-myosin S-1 binding; myosin S-1 was bound to only 1 of every 300 actin promoters, and earlier work [Tobacman, L. S., & Adelstein, R. S. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 798-802] had shown that cardiac myosin S-1 binds with equal affinity to the thin filament at very low Ca2+ and at saturating Ca2+ concentrations. Furthermore, the adenosine 5'-triphosphate turnover rate of the myosin S-1 was independent of enzyme concentration at low, intermediate, and saturating Ca2+ concentrations. Finally, since cardiac troponin has only one regulatory Ca2+-specific site, cooperative interactions between such sites could not occur. These data suggest that part of the cooperativity conferred by interaction between adjacent troponin-tropomyosin complexes is intrinsic to the thin filament and independent of myosin. 相似文献

The carbethoxylation of histidine residues in G-actin impairs actin polymerization. The histidine residue essential for polymerization was identified as histidine-40 [Hegyi, G., Premecz, G., Sain, B., & Mühlrad, A. (1974) Eur. J. Biochem. 44, 7-12]. Non-polymerizable actin was separated from the polymerizable fraction after partial carbethoxylation. The non-polymerizable actin recovered the ability to polymerize following addition of phalloidin. Taking into account the evidence that phalloidin does not bind to G-actin in the absence of salt, the results indicate that the actin monomer undergoes a conformational change and subsequently binds phalloidin before polymerization. The resulting polymers activated S1 ATPase activity as effectively as control F-actin. In the presence of tropomyosin and troponin, a strong inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity was observed in the absence of Ca2+, although no inhibition was observed in the presence of Ca2+. These results indicate that His-40 is not directly involved in a myosin binding site nor in a tropomyosin-troponin binding site. 相似文献

To elucidate the structure of the cross-bridge intermediates in the actomyosin ATPase cycle, several laboratories have added both ethylene glycol and AMP-PNP to muscle fibers. These studies suggested that ethylene glycol shifts the structure of myosin.AMP-PNP toward the weak-binding conformation, i.e., toward the structure of myosin.ATP. Since only the weak-binding conformation of myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) binds with no apparent cooperativity to the troponin-tropomyosin-actin complex (regulated actin), we used this as a probe to examine the conformation of various S-1.nucleotide complexes in ethylene glycol. Our results show that ethylene glycol markedly weakens the binding strength of S-1, S-1.ADP, and S-1.AMP-PNP to actin but has almost no effect on the binding strength of S-1.ATP. As in muscle fibers, at 40% ethylene glycol, the binding strength of S-1.AMP-PNP to actin becomes very similar to the binding strength of S-1.ATP. In the presence of troponin-tropomyosin, the binding of S-1.AMP-PNP to actin shows no apparent cooperativity in 40% ethylene glycol. Therefore, our results confirm that ethylene glycol shifts the structure of the myosin.AMP-PNP toward the weak-binding conformation. However, our results also suggest that ethylene glycol has a direct effect on the regulated actin complex. This is shown by the fact that ethylene glycol markedly increases the cooperative binding of S-1.ADP to regulated actin both in the presence and in the absence of Ca2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

It was previously shown that a one-dimensional Ising model could successfully simulate the equilibrium binding of myosin S1 to regulated actin filaments (T. L. Hill, E. Eisenberg and L. Greene, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77:3186-3190, 1980). However, the time course of myosin S1 binding to regulated actin was thought to be incompatible with this model, and a three-state model was subsequently developed (D. F. McKillop and M. A. Geeves, Biophys. J. 65:693-701, 1993). A quantitative analysis of the predicted time course of myosin S1 binding to regulated actin, however, was never done for either model. Here we present the procedure for the theoretical evaluation of the time course of myosin S1 binding for both models and then show that 1) the Hill model can predict the "lag" in the binding of myosin S1 to regulated actin that is observed in the absence of Ca++ when S1 is in excess of actin, and 2) both models generate very similar families of binding curves when [S1]/[actin] is varied. This result shows that, just based on the equilibrium and pre-steady-state kinetic binding data alone, it is not possible to differentiate between the two models. Thus, the model of Hill et al. cannot be ruled out on the basis of existing pre-steady-state and equilibrium binding data. Physical mechanisms underlying the generation of the lag in the Hill model are discussed. 相似文献
