Natural actomyosin was isolated from skeletal muscle of frogs (Rana catesbeiana) acclimated at 25 degrees C and 5 degrees C. It was found that preparations isolated from warm-acclimated frogs may display considerable degradation of myosin heavy chains as compared with preparations isolated from cold-acclimated frogs. However, degradation may be minimized by inclusion of protease inhibitors during purification, indicating enhanced protease activity in preparations of natural actomyosin from warm-acclimated frogs. When purified in the presence of protease inhibitors, natural actomyosin from both warm-acclimated and cold-acclimated frogs exhibits comparable subunit composition of SDS-gel electrophoresis. The overall gel pattern is similar to that obtained from rabbit natural actomyosin except that in the frog, troponin-T and troponin-C appear to co-migrate with tropomyosin and myosin light chain 2, respectively. 相似文献

The dihydropyridine receptor associated with the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel from rabbit skeletal muscle has been purified using the tritiated derivative of (+)-PN 200-110. The drug was used not only as a marker associated with the solubilized receptor but also in direct binding experiments performed after each purification step. 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate solubilization of a microsomal preparation resulted in an extract with a specific binding activity of 10 pmol/mg of protein. A combination of chromatographic steps utilizing anion exchange, lectin affinity, and gel filtration resulted in an 80-fold purification to a specific binding activity of 800 pmol/mg of protein. The affinity of (+)-[3H]PN 200-110 for the solubilized receptor was only slightly altered after the purification procedure. The KD values were 0.7 and 1.8 nM on the starting material and the most purified fractions, respectively. The subunit composition of the dihydropyridine receptor was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was consistent with three polypeptides of Mr 142,000, 33,000, and 32,000. The last two small components were not covalently associated with the larger one. In spite of a careful investigation of the conditions which improved the stability of the dihydropyridine receptor, a partial denaturation could not be prevented during purification. This resulted in an underestimation of receptor purity when calculated from the maximal specific binding activity as compared to the enrichment in the three polypeptides observed after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Finally, application of the same purification procedure to solubilized microsomal preparations of chick and frog skeletal muscle demonstrated the presence of a large polypeptide component of Mr 135,000-141,000 associated with the Ca2+ channel from these sources. The doublet of small molecular weight was not found with the frog muscle. 相似文献

The chicken skeletal muscle tropomyosin preparation reacted in agar diffusion test with the anti-chicken skeletal muscle tropomyosin antiserum by forming three precipitin lines which were very close with one another and appeared to be almost a single precipitin line. Three antigens responsible for the formation of these three precipitin lines could not be differentiated in 8 m urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These three precipitin lines could be identified to be due to the reaction between authentic tropomyosin molecules and their corresponding antibodies. Further, one of these three antigens was found to be present in the extracts from skeletal and cardiac muscles of various vertebrates so far tested and was identical with the genusand organ-nonspecific antigen as revealed earlier by the immunological study with frog skeletal muscle tropomyosin (Hirabayashi and Hayashi , 1970b). One of the remaining two antigens was clearly found to be present in the skeletal muscle extracts from avian sources. The last antigen was clearly found to be present in the extracts from pectoral and leg muscles, gizzard, anterior stomach, kidney, ovary, oviduct, testis and brain of the chicken. However, the reaction of the antibody against the last antigen with the extract of pectoral muscle of the chicken was very weak. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic progesterone receptors of chick oviduct have been purified in 8% yield by steroid affinity and ion exchange chromatography. The affinity resin, deoxycorticosterone-bovine serum albumin-Sepharose, binds progesterone receptors with high affinity (KD equals 8 times 10-minus 10 M) and its use resulted in a greater than 2000-fold purification over the starting material in a single step. DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography was then used to achieve final purification. NA dodecyl-SO4 gel electrophoresis and DEAE-cellulose chromatography showed that the purified receptors contained both of the previously described 4 S progesterone binding components in near equal amounts. Na dodocyl-SO4 gel electrophoresis also showed that these components consisted of single polypeptide chains with molecular weights of 110, 000 (A component) and 117, 000 (B component). There was no evidence for subunits of lower molecular weight. The purified materials have identical hormone-binding kinetics and steroid specificity to crude cytosol receptors. The isolated receptors retain the three biologically important properties exhibited by progesterone binding components present in cruder preparations: they bind specifically to (a) nuclei (KD equals 1.1 times 10-minus 9 M, 10, 000 sites per nucleus); (b) chromatin (KD equals 3 times 10-minus 9 M, 2000 sites per pg of DNA-);and (C) DNA. 相似文献

The level of functional mRNA coding for myofibrillar proteins was studied during development of the chicken skeletal muscle. RNA isolated from the developing chicken muscle directed protein synthesis in a wheat germ cell-free system. By means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunological analysis, tropomyosin subunits and troponin components were identified among the cell-free translation products. The mRNA activities for alpha- and beta-subunit of tropomyosin were prominent in the embryonic breast muscle as well as in the embryonic leg muscle. At the early post-embryonic stage, the mRNA activity for beta-subunit disappeared from the breast muscle, while those for alpha- and beta-subunit were detectable in the leg muscle. Troponin-C and troponin-I synthesized in vitro in response to the muscle RNA formed a binary complex in the presence of calcium ion. Despite the observed difference in molecular weight between troponin-Ts in the breast and leg muscle, RNA preparations from the two muscles encoded identical troponin-Ts whose molecular weights were indistinguishable from that of troponin-T present in the breast muscle of adult chicken. It is suggested from these results that the biosynthesis of tropomyosin is regulated at the pre-translational level during the development of the chicken skeletal muscle, whereas post-translational (or co-translational) events may produce the tissue-specific form of troponin-T. 相似文献

Studies on muscle differentiation. II. Antigenicity of tropomyosin from frog skeletal muscles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A tropomyosin preparation isolated from leg muscles of the frog, Rana nigromaculata, according to BAILEY's method with a minor modification elicited a production in rabbits of antibodies against the preparation. These antibodies included two major antibodies reacting with the authentic tropomyosin and minor antibodies whose counter-part antigens could not definitely be related to the authentic tropomyosin molecule. One of the major antibodies was revealed to be genus- and organ-specific, and the other to be genus- and organ-nonspecific. The latter antibody reacted with skeletal muscle extracts from vertebrate animals of all the classes and also with cardiac muscle extracts from various vertebrate animals. Anti-frog tropomyosin antisera containing the genus- and organ-non-specific antibody reacted with cardiac muscle extracts from various vertebrates in Ouchterlony's agar diffusion test by forming only a single precipitation band which could be identified to be due to the reaction between the genus- and organ-nonspecific anti-tropomyosin antibody and the authentic tropomyosin. Similarly, they also reacted with skeletal muscle extracts from rabbit by forming the single precipitation band. These facts suggested a possibility for the anti-frog tropomyosin antisera to be used for an immunochemical detection of tropomyosin in muscles from selected materials. 相似文献

We have selected tropomyosin subunits and myosin light chains as representative markers of the myofibrillar proteins of the thin and thick filaments and have studied changes in the type of proteins present during development in chicken and rabbit striated muscles. The β subunit of tropomyosin is the major species found in all embryonic skeletal muscles studied. During development the proportion of the α subunit of tropomyosin gradually increases so that in adult skeletal muscles the α subunit is either the only or the major species present. In contrast, cardiac muscles of both chicken and rabbit contain only the α subunit which remains invariant with development. Two subspecies of the α subunit of tropomyosin which differ in charge only were found in adult and embryonic chicken skeletal muscles. Only one of these subspecies seems to be common to chicken cardiac tropomyosin. With respect to myosin light chains, embryonic skeletal fast muscle myosin of both species resembles the adult fast muscle myosin except that the LC3 light chain characteristic of the adult skeletal fast muscle is present in smaller amounts. The significance of these isozymic changes in the two myofibrillar proteins is discussed in terms of a model of differential gene expression during development of chicken and rabbit skeletal muscles. 相似文献

A method is described for the purification of troponin from beef skeletal muscle. The resultant preparation differs from the troponin of rabbit skeletal muscle in that it contains at least two forms of the tropomyosin-binding component, Troponin-T: these are designated as the 37 000 and 40 000 dalton forms of Troponin-T on the basis of sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis. Either of these Troponin-T forms may be used to reconstitute troponin by mixing with the appropriate amounts of the calcium-binding (Troponin-C) and and actomyosin ATPase-inhibitory (Troponin-I) components. These reconstituted troponins are shown to interact with tropomyosin and also to confer full calcium sensitivity on actomyosin ATPase. Despite the existence of proteolysis in troponin preparations, the experimental evidence indicates that the smaller form of Troponin-T is not derived from the 40 000 dalton species by limited degradation. Although both species of Troponin-T have been found routinely in troponin from beef skeletal muscle, only the larger form is detected in troponin preparations from beef cardiac muscle. Further studies are required in order to clarify the functional significance and differential distribution of these multiple forms of Troponin-T. 相似文献

A procedure for isolating sequentially structural proteins from leg muscles of adult frog, Rana nigromaculata, was described. The procedure consisted of a novel method of isolating frog myosin in combination with established methods of isolating actin and tropomyosin. All the purified preparations of structural proteins isolated by our procedure were found to be almost homogeneous as examined by electrophoresis and ultracentrifugal sedimentation. All the preparations also showed characteristic physico-chemical properties expected to the respective authentic proteins. Frog myosin preparations isolated by two different procedures were not significantly contaminated with actin or actomyosin, but were contaminated with RNA or RNA-protein and with a slowly sedimenting minor component which was released upon denaturation of the preparation. 相似文献

The patterns of myosin isozymes in embryonic and adult chicken pectoralis muscle were examined by electrophoresis in a non-denaturing gel system (pyrophosphate acrylamide gel electrophoresis), and both light chains and heavy chains of embryonic and adult myosin isozymes were compared. In pyrophosphate acrylamide gel electrophoresis, the predominant isozyme component in embryonic pectoralis myosin could be clearly distinguished from adult myosin isozymes. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the light chain composition of embryonic myosin was also different from that of adult myosin. The pattern of peptide fragments produced by myosin digestion with a-chymotrypsin differed significantly between embryonic and adult skeletal myosin. These results suggest that myosin in the embryonic pectoralis muscle is different in both light and heavy chain composition from myosin in the same adult tissue. 相似文献

Some biochemical properties of the Mr 52,000 component of Akazara scallop striated adductor troponin, which had been tentatively identified as troponin-I, were compared with those of rabbit troponin-I. Both the Mr 52,000 component and rabbit troponin-I together with rabbit tropomyosin inhibited the Mg-ATPase activity of rabbit reconstituted actomyosin to 1/10 of the original activity. The inhibition was neutralized by the addition of Akazara scallop and rabbit troponin-C or Patinopecten scallop calmodulin. The Mr 52,000 component and rabbit troponin-I were insoluble below 0.15 M KCl, but were solubilized by complexing with an equimolar amount of troponin-C or calmodulin. On alkaline urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the Mr 52,000 component as well as rabbit troponin-I was found to form a stable complex with troponin-C or calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+. 相似文献

Smooth muscle of chicken embryonic gizzards has been shown to contain 9 tropomyosin isoforms (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8, and E9) in addition to alpha and beta isoforms (Hosoya et al. (1989) J. Biochem. 105, 712-717). At the early stages of development, the amount of these isoforms was larger than those of alpha and beta isoforms. However, they gradually decreased at later stages and finally disappeared completely after hatching. By using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and an image analyzing system, we examined the process of tropomyosin accumulation in gizzard smooth muscle development. The accumulation patterns of tropomyosin isoforms and their relative molar ratios to actin in embryonic development were different from those in the stages after hatching. The relative molar ratio of tropomyosin to actin in the thin filament preparation of embryonic gizzards was lower than that of adult, and it gradually increased in the course of embryonic development. 相似文献

The three major components of bovine cardiac troponin were separated by successive chromatography on sulfopropyl-Sephadex and DEAE-Sephadex columns in the presence of 6 M urea. All three of the bovine cardiac troponin subunits were necessary to restore full troponin activity in both skeletal and cardiac actomyosin ATPase assay systems. The 38,000-dalton subunit bound tropomyosin, and the 20,000-dalton subunit bound calcium, like skeletal TN-T and TN-C, respectively. The 28,000 component, although presumably analogous to skeletal TN-I, gave very little inhibition of actomyosin ATPase activity. Differences between cardiac and skeletal troponin subunits were also found in the elution patterns from ion exchange columns and in amino acid composition, thus demonstrating a significant muscle-type specificity. 相似文献

Tropomyosin of fast-twitch, slow-twitch and cardiac muscles of carp and icefish has been isolated by hydroxyapatite chromatography. The subunit distribution has been investigated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by peptide mapping. The purified skeletal muscle tropomyosins all belong to the alpha family and differ from higher vertebrate tropomyosin by the lack of beta subunits. Specific alpha isotypes are however encountered in fast-twitch fibres (alpha w subunit) and slow-twitch or intermediate (pink) fibres (alpha and alpha w subunits). The amino acid compositions and the paracrystals formed by the carp alpha w alpha w and alpha alpha w tropomyosins do not differ markedly from that of rabbit alpha alpha chains. They differ however by their capability to inhibit the ATPase activity of rabbit skeletal muscle acto-HMM system. A beta-like subunit is found in carp cardiac tropomyosin, in the proportion of 25% of the native protein, but not in icefish heart. 相似文献

1. Tropomyosins from chicken cardiac, skeletal, and gizzard muscles were each resolved into two subunits by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in a system containing sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), urea and sodium borate, and were designated C1 C2, S1 S2, and G1 G2, respectively, in descending order of mobility on electrophoresis. S1, S2, G1, and G2 were prepared as pure samples by electrophoresis. 2. The apparent molecular weights of C (C1 + C2), S1, S2, G1, and G2 were calculated to be 36,000, 36,000, 37,500, 36,000, and 40,000, respectively, based on SDS gel electrophoretic mobility according to the method of Weber and Osborn. C and S1 showed nearly the same mobility in all electrophoretic systems tried. S1 and G1, which comigrated in an SDS-sodium borate system, showed different mobilities upon addition of 5 M urea to the system. 3. Immunological evidence presented indicates that each subunit has a specific antigenic site(s) in addition to an identical one(s) in common with the others. 4. As each tropomyosin subunit formed two precipitin lines with the homologous antiserum, as many as ten kinds of subunits may exist in chicken muscles. 相似文献

Specific identification of tropomyosin was succeeded in chick embryos by an application of immuno-histochemical techniques with the antisera against frog skeletal muscle tropomyosin. The first appearance of tropomyosin was in the central part of cervical somites of stage 14 embryo, and the area containing tropomyosin extended dorso-ventrally in later stages. In the heart primordium, tropomyosin was first detected in the presumptive epimyocardium at stage 8 embryos and was found to be concentrated in the epimyocardium in later embryos. The stages of the first appearance of tropomyosin in somites and presumptive myocardium corresponded with those of the first appearance of thin filaments in these organ primordia reported by other investigators. Tropomyosin in myogenic cells and in muscle fibers was localized in cell membrane or in cell peripheries. It was also distributed in a striated pattern which seemed to be due to a localization of tropomyosin in the I-bands. 相似文献

Tropomyosins have been isolated from bovine adrenal medulla. Purified from a heat-stable extract, the adrenal medullary tropomyosins show the same chromatographic patterns as platelet tropomyosin components purified under very similar conditions on ion-exchange (DEAE-Sephacel) and hydroxylapatite columns. When analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified fraction, reduced and denatured, yielded three polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 38,000, 35,500, and 32,000. The molar ratio of the two major polypeptides (38 kd and 32 kd) was 2:1. The predominant form of 38 kd is different from other nonmuscle tropomyosins previously isolated and with which an apparent molecular weight of 30,000 is normally associated. The three adrenal medullary tropomyosins have similar isoelectric points of about 4.7. When adrenal tropomyosins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of 8 M urea, each form showed a shift to a higher molecular weight, which is a characteristic of muscle tropomyosin. The 38,000 adrenal medullary tropomyosin exhibits a stronger affinity for F-actin than the other forms. Peptide profiles obtained after limited proteolytic digestion show some similarity between the two predominant tropomyosins of the bovine adrenal medulla and also between these and the alpha and beta forms of bovine skeletal muscle tropomyosin. 相似文献

Characterization of the 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor using subunit-specific polyclonal antibodies. Evidence for a 32,000-Da subunit 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The purified receptor for the 1,4-dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blockers from rabbit skeletal muscle contains protein components of 170,000 Da (alpha 1), 175,000 Da (alpha 2), 52,000 Da (beta), and 32,000 Da (gamma) when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. Subunit-specific polyclonal antibodies have now been prepared and used to characterize the association of the 32,000-Da polypeptide (gamma subunit) with other subunits of the dihydropyridine receptor. Immunoblot analysis of fractions collected during purification of the dihydropyridine receptor shows that the 32,000-Da polypeptide copurified with alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits at each step of the purification. In addition, monoclonal antibodies against the alpha 1 and beta subunits immunoprecipitate the digitonin-solubilized dihydropyridine receptor as a multisubunit complex which includes the 32,000-Da polypeptide. Polyclonal antibodies generated against both the nonreduced and reduced forms of the alpha 2 subunit and the gamma subunit have been used to show that the 32,000-Da polypeptide is not a proteolytic fragment of a larger component of the dihydropyridine receptor and not disulfide linked to the alpha 2 subunit. In addition, polyclonal antibodies against the rabbit skeletal muscle 32,000-Da polypeptide specifically react with similar proteins in skeletal muscle of other species including avian and amphibian species. Thus, our results demonstrate that the 32,000-Da polypeptide (gamma subunit) is an integral and distinct component of the dihydropyridine receptor. 相似文献

The tropomyosin binding component (TN-T) of troponin was purified from bovine cardiac muscle using a combination of ion exchange chromatographies in the presence of urea. Sedimentation equilibrium experiments suggest a molecular weight for cardiac TN-T of 36 300 +/- 2 000, consistent with a value of 37 000 +/- 1 000 determining by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Calculations based upon circular dichroism spectra indicate an apparent alpha-helical content of 43 +/- 3% for TN-T. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the effects of the calcium binding component (TN-C) upon the solubility of TN-T suggest that the two cardiac troponin components can interact with each other. Cosedimentation analysis of solutions containing cardiac tropomyosin and TN-T provide evidence for complex formation involving these two proteins. The data presented on the physical and chemical properties of TN-T, as well as the interaction studies indicate that the cardiac muscle regulatory system operates in a manner similar to that proposed for skeletal muscle. 相似文献
