An activating factor for the superprecipitation of actomyosin reconstructed from scallop smooth muscle myosin and rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin was purified from thin filaments of scallop smooth and striated muscles. Two components were obtained from the smooth muscle and one from the striated muscle. All three components similarly affected the actomyosin ATPase activity. According to the results of analysis involving double reciprocal plotting of the ATPase activity versus F-actin concentration, the activating factor for superprecipitation decreased the apparent dissociation constants of actomyosin about 30 to 110 times. The activation of the superprecipitation by the factor, therefore, may be due to the enhancement of the affinity between F-actin and myosin in the presence of ATP. The activating factor was identified as tropomyosin based on it mobility on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and on the recovery of the Ca2+-sensitivity of purified rabbit skeletal actomyosin in the presence of troponin. 相似文献

Characterization of caldesmon binding to myosin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Caldesmon inhibits the binding of skeletal muscle subfragment-1 (S-1).ATP to actin but enhances the binding of smooth muscle heavy meromyosin (HMM).ATP to actin. This effect results from the direct binding of caldesmon to myosin in the order of affinity: smooth muscle HMM greater than skeletal muscle HMM greater than smooth muscle S-1 greater than skeletal muscle S-1 (Hemric, M. E., and Chalovich, J. M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 1878-1885). We now show that the difference between skeletal muscle HMM and S-1 is due to the presence of the S-2 region in HMM and is unrelated to light chain composition or to two-headed versus single-headed binding. Differences between the binding of smooth and skeletal muscle myosin subfragments to actin do not result from the lack of light chain 2 in skeletal muscle S-1. In the presence of ATP, caldesmon binds to smooth muscle myosin filaments with a stoichiometry of 1:1 (K = 1 x 10(6) M-1). Similar results were obtained for the binding of caldesmon to smooth muscle rod as well as the binding of the purified myosin-binding fragment of caldesmon to smooth muscle myosin. The binding of caldesmon to intact myosin is ATP sensitive. The interaction of caldesmon with myosin is apparently specific and sensitive to the structure of both proteins. 相似文献

The role of the interaction between actin and the secondary actin binding site of myosin (segment 565-579 of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin, referred to as loop 3 in this work) has been studied with proteolytically generated smooth and skeletal muscle myosin subfragment 1 and recombinant Dictyostelium discoideum myosin II motor domain constructs. Carbodiimide-induced cross-linking between filamentous actin and myosin loop 3 took place only with the motor domain of skeletal muscle myosin and not with those of smooth muscle or D. discoideum myosin II. Chimeric constructs of the D. discoideum myosin motor domain containing loop 3 of either human skeletal muscle or nonmuscle myosin were generated. Significant actin cross-linking to the loop 3 region was obtained only with the skeletal muscle chimera both in the rigor and in the weak binding states, i.e., in the absence and in the presence of ATP analogues. Thrombin degradation of the cross-linked products was used to confirm the cross-linking site of myosin loop 3 within the actin segment 1-28. The skeletal muscle and nonmuscle myosin chimera showed a 4-6-fold increase in their actin dissociation constant, due to a significant increase in the rate for actin dissociation (k(-)(A)) with no significant change in the rate for actin binding (k(+A)). The actin-activated ATPase activity was not affected by the substitutions in the chimeric constructs. These results suggest that actin interaction with the secondary actin binding site of myosin is specific for the loop 3 sequence of striated muscle myosin isoforms but is apparently not essential either for the formation of a high affinity actin-myosin interface or for the modulation of actomyosin ATPase activity. 相似文献

Chimaeric myosin regulatory light chains: sub-domain switching experiments to analyse the function of the N-terminal EF hand. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The regulatory light chains (RLCs) located on the myosin head, regulate the interaction of myosin with actin in response to either Ca2+ or phosphorylation signals. The RLCs belong to a family of calcium binding proteins and are composed of four "EF hand" ancestral calcium binding motifs (numbered I to IV). To determine the role of the first EF hand (EF hand I) in the regulatory process, chimaeric light chains were constructed by protein engineering, by switching this region between smooth muscle and skeletal muscle myosin RLCs. For example, chimaera G(I)S consisted of EF hand I of the smooth muscle (gizzard) RLC and EF hands II to IV of the skeletal muscle RLC, whereas chimaera S(I)G consisted of EF hand I of the skeletal muscle RLC and EF hands II to IV of the smooth muscle RLC. The chimaeric RLCs were expressed in Escherichia coli using the pLcII expression system, and after isolation and purification their regulatory properties were compared with those of wild-type smooth and skeletal muscle myosin RLCs. The chimaeric RLCs bound to the myosin heads in scallop striated muscle myofibrils from which the endogenous RLCs had been removed ("desensitized" myofibrils) with similar affinities to those of the wild-type smooth and skeletal muscle RLCs. Both chimaeric RLCs were able to regulate the actin-activated Mg(2+)-ATPase activity of scallop myosin: G(I)S inhibited the ATPase in the presence and absence of Ca2+, like the wild-type skeletal muscle RLC, while S(I)G inhibited the myosin ATPase in the absence of Ca2+, and this inhibition was relieved on Ca2+ addition, in the same way as the wild-type smooth muscle RLC. Thus the type of regulation that the RLCs confer on the myosin is determined by the source of EF hands II to IV rather than that of EF hand I. 相似文献

It has been reported that catch and striated muscle myosin heavy chains of scallop are generated through alternative splicing from a single gene [Nyitray et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91, 12686-12690]. They suggested that the catch muscle type myosin was expressed in various tissues of scallop, including the gonad, heart, foot, and mantle. However, there have been no reports of the primary structure of myosin from tissues other than the adductor muscles. In this study, we isolated a cDNA encoding the motor domain of myosin from the mantle tissue of scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis), and determined its nucleotide sequence. Sequence analysis revealed that mantle myosin exhibited 65% identity with Drosophila non muscle myosin, 60% with chicken gizzard smooth muscle myosin, and 44% with scallop striated muscle myosin. The mantle myosin has inserted sequences in the 27 kDa domain of the head region, and has a longer loop 1 structure than those of scallop striated and catch muscle myosins. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the mantle myosin is classified as a smooth/nonmuscle type myosin. Western blot analysis with antibodies produced against the N-terminal region of the mantle myosin revealed that this myosin was specifically expressed in the mantle pallial cell layer consisting of nonmuscle cells. Our results show that mantle myosin is classified as a nonmuscle type myosin in scallop. 相似文献

Characterization of regulatory light chain-a myosin kinase from smooth muscle of scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The protein kinase that phosphorylates the regulatory light chain-a (RLC-a) of scallop smooth muscle myosin was isolated from scallop smooth muscle (Sohma, H. & Morita, F. (1986) J. Biochem. 100, 1155-1163). The enzymatic properties of this kinase (aMK) were investigated using RLC-a as the substrate. The Km value for ATP was 6.5 microM in the presence of 27 microM RLC-a at pH 7.0, and that for RLC-a was 133 microM in the presence of 1 mM ATP. The Vm value at saturation of both RLC-a and ATP was 0.25 s-1 at pH 7.0. The pH activity curve for aMK was bell-shaped with a maximum at around pH 7.8. The aMK activity was inhibited strongly by an increase in the KCl concentration. aMK required Mg2+, but was inhibited by high concentrations of Mg2+. The optimum activity was seen at 3 mM MgCl2. The mode of inhibition of the aMK activity by Ca2+ was studied. Assuming that the binding of Ca2+ to aMK induces the inhibition, the dissociation constant of Ca2+ was estimated to be 64 microM. aMK also phosphorylated LC20 of chicken gizzard myosin at a similar rate to that for RLC-a and the DTNB light chain of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin at a more lower rate. The helix and beta-sheet contents of aMK were estimated to be 19 and 30%, respectively, from the CD spectrum. 相似文献

Effect of caldesmon on the ATPase activity and the binding of smooth and skeletal myosin subfragments to actin 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We have previously shown that inhibition of the ATPase activity of skeletal muscle myosin subfragment 1 (S1) by caldesmon is correlated with the inhibition of S1 binding in the presence of ATP or pyrophosphate (Chalovich, J., Cornelius, P., and Benson, C. (1987) J. Biol Chem. 262, 5711-5716). In contrast, Lash et al. (Lash, J., Sellers, J., and Hathaway, D. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 16155-16160) have shown that the inhibition of ATPase activity of smooth muscle heavy meromyosin (HMM) by caldesmon is correlated with an increase in the binding of HMM to actin in the presence of ATP. We now show, in agreement, that caldesmon does increase the binding of smooth muscle HMM to actin-tropomyosin while decreasing the ATPase activity. The effect of caldesmon on the binding of smooth HMM is reversed by Ca2+-calmodulin. Caldesmon strengthens the binding of smooth S1.ATP and skeletal HMM.ATP to actin-tropomyosin but to a lesser extent than smooth HMM.ATP. Furthermore, this increase in binding of smooth S1.ATP and skeletal HMM.ATP does not parallel the inhibition of ATPase activity. In contrast, in the absence of ATP, all smooth and skeletal myosin subfragments compete with caldesmon for binding to actin. Thus, the effect that caldesmon has on the binding of myosin subfragments to actin-tropomyosin depends on the source of myosin, the type of subfragment, and the nucleotide present. The inhibition of actin-activated ATP hydrolysis by caldesmon, however, is not greatly different for different smooth and skeletal myosin subfragments. Evidence is presented that caldesmon inhibits actin-activated ATP hydrolysis by attenuating the productive interaction between myosin and actin that normally accelerates ATP hydrolysis. The increased binding seen by some myosin subfragments, in the presence of ATP, may be due to binding of these subfragments to a nonproductive site on actin-caldesmon. The subfragments which show an increase in binding in the presence of ATP and caldesmon appear to bind directly to caldesmon as demonstrated by affinity chromatography. 相似文献

Proteolytic susceptibility of both isolated and bound light chains from various myosins to myopathic hamster protease 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Myopathic hamster protease was incubated with turkey gizzard, scallop adductor, and Loligo mantle retractor myosins in order to establish if the regulatory light chain could be selectively digested. In contrast to cardiac or skeletal muscle myosin in which almost all of the regulatory light chain is degraded, these light chains from smooth and invertebrate muscle myosins were remarkably resistant to proteolysis. In the case of scallop myosin, increasing the protease to myosin ratio resulted in comparable digestions of both the regulatory and essential light chains regardless of the presence of Mg2+. The isolated light chains on the other hand were readily digested into smaller fragments. In addition, it was observed that the myosin heavy chains were extremely sensitive and that it was possible to cleave them quantitatively to produce a new band moving with a mobility on SDS gels corresponding to an Mr of approximately 150,000. This was again at variance with cardiac or skeletal myosin where the breakdown of the heavy chains was shown to be minimal. In spite of the significant extent of heavy chain cleavage, gizzard myosin appears to maintain its tertiary structure as demonstrated by sedimentation velocity and equilibrium ultracentrifugation analysis. Moreover, upon examination by electron microscopy, both intact and cleaved gizzard myosin revealed the characteristic folded structure which had a sedimentation rate of about 10 S when dialyzed into a low salt, Mg X ATP-containing buffer. The effects and implications of such modifications on catalytic activities of gizzard, scallop, and Loligo myosins are discussed in detail. 相似文献

Background
There is evidence that the actin-activated ATP kinetics and the mechanical work produced by muscle myosin molecules are regulated by two surface loops, located near the ATP binding pocket (loop 1), and in a region that interfaces with actin (loop 2). These loops regulate force and velocity of contraction, and have been investigated mostly in single molecules. There is a lack of information of the work produced by myosin molecules ordered in filaments and working cooperatively, which is the actual muscle environment.Methods
We use micro-fabricated cantilevers to measure forces produced by myosin filaments isolated from mollusk muscles, skeletal muscles, and smooth muscles containing variations in the structure of loop 1 (tonic and phasic myosins). We complemented the experiments with in-vitro assays to measure the velocity of actin motility.Results
Smooth muscle myosin filaments produced more force than skeletal and mollusk myosin filaments when normalized per filament overlap. Skeletal muscle myosin propelled actin filaments in a higher sliding velocity than smooth muscle myosin. The values for force and velocity were consistent with previous studies using myosin molecules, and suggest a close correlation with the myosin isoform and structure of surface loop 1.General significance
The technique using micro-fabricated cantilevers to measure force of filaments allows for the investigation of the relation between myosin structure and contractility, allowing experiments to be conducted with an array of different myosin isoforms. Using the technique we observed that the work produced by myosin molecules is regulated by amino-acid sequences aligned in specific loops. 相似文献11.

We have used electron microscopy and proteolytic susceptibility to study the structural basis of myosin-linked regulation in synthetic filaments of scallop striated muscle myosin. Using papain as a probe of the structure of the head-rod junction, we find that this region of myosin is approximately five times more susceptible to proteolytic attack under activating (ATP/high Ca2+) or rigor (no ATP) conditions than under relaxing conditions (ATP/low Ca2+). A similar result was obtained with native myosin filaments in a crude homogenate of scallop muscle. Proteolytic susceptibility under conditions in which ADP or adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imidotriphosphate) (AMPPNP) replaced ATP was similar to that in the absence of nucleotide. Synthetic myosin filaments negatively stained under relaxing conditions showed a compact structure, in which the myosin cross-bridges were close to the filament backbone and well ordered, with a clear 14.5-nm axial repeat. Under activating or rigor conditions, the cross-bridges became clumped and disordered and frequently projected further from the filament backbone, as has been found with native filaments; when ADP or AMPPNP replaced ATP, the cross-bridges were also disordered. We conclude (a) that Ca2+ and ATP affect the affinity of the myosin cross-bridges for the filament backbone or for each other; (b) that the changes observed in the myosin filaments reflect a property of the myosin molecules alone, and are unlikely to be an artifact of negative staining; and (c) that the ordered structure occurs only in the relaxed state, requiring both the presence of hydrolyzed ATP on the myosin heads and the absence of Ca2+. 相似文献

The ADP photoaffinity analogue 2-[(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino]ethyl diphosphate (NANDP) was used to photolabel the ATP binding site of scallop myosin. Approximately 1 mol of NANDP per mol of myosin was trapped at the active site by complexation with vanadate and manganese. ADP, but not AMP, inhibited trapping of NANDP. The trapped NANDP photolabeled up to 37% of the myosin upon UV irradiation. Papain subfragment-1 prepared from the photolabeled myosin was digested with trypsin, and the major photolabeled tryptic peptides were isolated by reversed-phase HPLC. The amino acid sequence of the major labeled peptide was X-Leu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Thr-Asp-Ser-Val-Ile-Ala-Lys, where X represents the photolabeled amino acid Arg128. Previously, Trp130 of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin has been shown to be photolabeled by NANDP [Okamoto, Y., and Yount, R. G. (1985) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 82, 1575-1580]. Scallop and rabbit skeletal muscle myosin display a high degree of sequence similarity in this region with Arg128 in an equivalent position as Trp130. These results suggest that the composition of the purine binding site is analogous in both myosins and that Arg and Trp play a similar role in binding ATP, despite the marked differences of their side chains. 相似文献

Differences between smooth and skeletal muscle myosins in their interactions with F-actin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
K Takeuchi 《Journal of biochemistry》1982,91(3):1001-1007
Myosin and F-actin were prepared from bovine carotid arterial smooth muscle and the properties of the binding of myosin to F-actin were compared with those of the binding of skeletal muscle myosin to F-actin. The following differences were observed between skeletal and smooth muscle myosins. 1. The rate of ATP-induced dissociation of arterial actomyosin was equal to that of hybrid actomyosin reconstituted from arterial myosin and skeletal muscle F-actin, but was much lower than those of skeletal muscle actomyosin and of hybrid actomyosin reconstituted from skeletal muscle myosin and arterial F-actin. 2. The amount of ATP necessary for complete dissociation of arterial actomyosin was 2 mol/mol of myosin, although it is well known that skeletal muscle actomyosin is dissociated completely by the addition of 1 mol ATP per mol of myosin. 3. Arterial actomyosin and hybrid actomyosin reconstituted from arterial myosin and skeletal muscle F-actin did not dissociate upon addition of 0.1 mM PPi, while skeletal muscle actomyosin dissociated completely. 4. In the absence of Mg2+, neither dissociation by ATP nor ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity was observed with arterial actomyosin and hybrid actomyosin reconstituted from arterial myosin and skeletal muscle F-actin. On the other hand, skeletal muscle actomyosin dissociated almost completely upon addition of ATP and showed a considerably high ATPase activity. These observations reveal marked differences between myosins from skeletal and smooth muscles in their binding properties to F-actin. 相似文献

Reaction intermediates of myosin ATPase from scallop adductor muscles: nonidentical two-headed structure of striated adductor muscle myosin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
K Shibata-Sekiya 《Journal of biochemistry》1982,92(4):1151-1162
To determine whether or not the two heads of myosin from striated adductor muscles of scallop are nonidentical and the main intermediate of the ATPase reaction, MADPP, is produced only on one of the two heads, the Pi-burst size, the amount of total bound nucleotides and the amount of bound ADP during the ATPase reaction were measured in this study. The Pi-burst size was 1 mol per mol in the presence of 0.1-5 mM Mg2+ ions. The amount of total nucleotides bound to myosin was 2 mol per mol. Both the amounts of bound ADP and ATP at sufficiently high ATP concentrations were 1 mol per mol of striated adductor myosin, and the affinity for ADP binding was higher than that for ATP binding. These findings indicate that MADPP or MATP is produced on each of the two heads of striated adductor myosin on its interaction with ATP. The fluorescence intensity at 340 nm of striated adductor myosin was enhanced by about 7% upon addition of ATP. The time for the half maximum fluorescence enhancement, tau 1/2, at 5 microM ATP was 0.25 s, which was almost equal to the tau 1/2 values for the Pi-burst and for the dissociation of actomyosin reconstituted from striated adductor myosin and skeletal muscle F-actin. The dependences on ATP concentration of the extent of the fluorescence enhancement and the dissociation of actomyosin could be explained by assuming that these changes are associated with the formation of MADPP on one of the two heads of myosin. The Pi-burst size and the amount of bound ADP of smooth adductor myosin were slightly but significantly larger than 1 mol per mol. Both ATPase reactions of striated and smooth adductor myofibrils showed the substrate inhibition. The extent of substrate inhibition of ATPase of smooth adductor myofibrils was less than that of striated adductor myofibrils. All the present findings support the view that the nonidentical two-headed structure is required for substrate inhibition of the actomyosin ATPase reaction. 相似文献

A difference UV-absorption spectrum induced by ATP was observed with scallop myosins purified from both striated and smooth adductor muscles. The difference spectra showed a positive peak at 289 nm with a shoulder around 295 nm, and two small negative troughs around 280 nm. Tryptophanyl movement similar to that in rabbit skeletal myosin is indicated. Some tyrosyl movements in scallop myosins, however, may be in the opposite direction. 相似文献

Order-disorder structural transitions in synthetic filaments of fast and slow skeletal muscle myosins under relaxing and activating conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the previous study (Podlubnaya et al., 1999, J. Struc. Biol. 127, 1-15) Ca2+-induced reversible structural transitions in synthetic filaments of pure fast skeletal and cardiac muscle myosins were observed under rigor conditions (-Ca2+/+Ca2+). In the present work these studies have been extended to new more order-producing conditions (presence of ATP in the absence of Ca2+) aimed at arresting the relaxed structure in synthetic filaments of both fast and slow skeletal muscle myosin. Filaments were formed from column-purified myosins (rabbit fast skeletal muscle and rabbit slow skeletal semimebranosusproprius muscle). In the presence of 0.1 mM free Ca2+, 3 mM Mg2+ and 2 mM ATP (activating conditions) these filaments had a spread structure with a random arrangement of myosin heads and subfragments 2 protruding from the filament backbone. Such a structure is indistinguishable from the filament structures observed previously for fast skeletal, cardiac (see reference cited above) and smooth (Podlubnaya et al., 1999, J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 20, 547-554) muscle myosins in the presence of 0.1 mM free Ca2+. In the absence of Ca2+ and in the presence of ATP (relaxing conditions) the filaments of both studied myosins revealed a compact ordered structure. The fast skeletal muscle myosin filaments exhibited an axial periodicity of about 14.5 nm and which was much more pronounced than under rigor conditions in the absence of Ca2+ (see the first reference cited). The slow skeletal muscle myosin filaments differ slightly in their appearance from those of fast muscle as they exhibit mainly an axial repeat of about 43 nm while the 14.5 nm repeat is visible only in some regions. This may be a result of a slightly different structural properties of slow skeletal muscle myosin. We conclude that, like other filaments of vertebrate myosins, slow skeletal muscle myosin filaments also undergo the Ca2+-induced structural order-disorder transitions. It is very likely that all vertebrate muscle myosins possess such a property. 相似文献

Caldesmon inhibits skeletal actomyosin subfragment-1 ATPase activity and the binding of myosin subfragment-1 to actin 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Smooth muscle contraction is controlled in part by the state of phosphorylation of myosin. A recently discovered actin and calmodulin-binding protein, named caldesmon, may also be involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction. Caldesmon cross-links actin filaments and also inhibits actin-activated ATP hydrolysis by myosin, particularly in the presence of tropomyosin. We have studied the effect of caldesmon on the rate of hydrolysis of ATP by skeletal muscle myosin subfragment-1, a system in which phosphorylation of the myosin is not important in regulation. Caldesmon is a very effective inhibitor of ATP hydrolysis giving up to 95% inhibition. At low ionic strength (approximately 20 mM) this effect does not require smooth muscle tropomyosin, whereas at high ionic strength (approximately 120 mM) tropomyosin enhances the inhibitory activity of caldesmon at low caldesmon concentrations. Cross-linking of actin is not essential for inhibition of ATP hydrolysis to occur since at high ionic strength there is very little cross-linking as determined by a low speed sedimentation assay. Under all conditions examined, the decrease in the rate of ATP hydrolysis is accompanied by a decrease in the binding of myosin subfragment-1 to actin. Furthermore, caldesmon weakens the equilibrium binding of myosin subfragment-1 to actin in the presence of pyrophosphate. We conclude that caldesmon has a general weakening effect on the binding of skeletal muscle myosin subfragment-1 to actin and that this weakening in binding may be responsible for inhibition of ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

The mechanism of the ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] reaction of porcine platelet myosin and the binding properties of platelet myosin with rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin were investigated. The kinetic properties of the platelet myosin ATPase reaction, that is, the rate, the extent of fluorescence enhancement of myosin, the size of the initial P1 burst of myosin, and the amount of nucleotides bound to myosin during the ATPase reaction, were very similar to those found for other myosins. Strong binding of platelet myosin with rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin, as found for smooth muscle myosin, was suggested by the following results. The rate of the ATP-induced dissociation of hybrid actomyosin, reconstituted from platelet myosin and skeletal muscle F-actin, was very slow. The amount of ATP necessary for complete dissociation of hybrid actomyosin was 2 mol/mol of myosin, although skeletal muscle actomyosin is known to dissociate completely upon addition of 1 mol ATP per mol of myosin. Unlike skeletal muscle myosin, the EDTA(K+)-ATPase activity of platelet myosin was inhibited by skeletal muscle F-actin. These observations indicate that ATP hydrolysis by vertebrate nonmuscle myosin follows the same mechanism as with other myosins and that the binding properties of nonmuscle myosin with F-actin are similar to those of smooth muscle myosin but not to those of skeletal muscle myosin. 相似文献

Lanthanides are often considered to act as calcium analogues in biological systems. Activation profiles have been obtained as a function of terbium (Tb(III)), gadolinium (Gd(III)), and europium (Eu(III)) concentration, for the actin-activated ATPase of fully regulated myosins from both thick and thin filament regulated muscles. Scallop adductor myosin, a regulatory myosin, shows full apparent activation by free lanthanide. Activity declines rapidly with increasing lanthanide concentration reaching basal levels at 100 microM lanthanide. Rabbit skeletal muscle myosin, in the presence of rabbit skeletal troponin:tropomyosin, also shows full apparent activation by free lanthanide. However, contrary to expectation, lanthanides do not compete with calcium for the calcium-specific site of scallop myosin and therefore do not function as calcium analogues in this system. The activation curve is shown to be an artifact arising from the release of trace calcium from ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N-tetraacetic acid during lanthanide titration. Although the results with troponin:tropomyosin are necessarily more complex, the ability of lanthanides to turn on troponin:tropomyosin is brought into question. 相似文献

We have studied the correlation between myosin structure, myosin biochemistry, and muscle force. Two distinct orientations of the myosin light-chain domain were previously resolved using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of spin-labeled regulatory light chains in scallop muscle fibers. In the present study, we measured isometric force during EPR spectral acquisition, in order to define how these two light-chain domain orientations are coupled to force and the myosin ATPase cycle. When muscle fibers are partially activated with increasing amounts of calcium, the distribution between the two light-chain domain orientations shifts toward the one associated with strong actin binding. This shift in distribution is linearly related to the increase in force, suggesting that rotation of the light-chain domain is coupled to strong actin binding. However, when nucleotide analogues are used to trap myosin in the pre- and posthydrolysis states of its ATPase cycle in relaxed muscle, there is no change in the distribution between light-chain domain orientations, showing that the rotation of the light-chain domain is not directly coupled to the ATP hydrolysis step. Instead, it is likely that in relaxed muscle the myosin thick filament stabilizes two light-chain domain orientations that are independent of the nucleotide analogue bound at the active site. We conclude that a large and distinct rotation of the light-chain domain of myosin is responsible for force generation and is coupled to strong actin binding but is not coupled to a specific step in the myosin ATPase reaction. 相似文献
