Tryptic digestion patterns reveal a close similarity of the substructure of frog subfragment-1 (S1) to that established for rabbit S1. The 97-kDa heavy chain of chymotryptic S1 of frog myosin is preferentially cleaved into three fragments with apparent molecular masses of 29 kDa, 49 kDa and 20 kDa. These fragments correspond to the 27-kDa, 50-kDa and 20-kDa fragments of rabbit S1, respectively; this is indicated by the sequence of their appearance during digestion, by the suppression by actin of the generation of the 49-kDa and 20-kDa peptides, and by a nucleotide-promoted cleavage of the 29-kDa peptide to a 24-kDa fragment and the 49-kDa peptide to a 44-kDa fragment, analogous to the nucleotide-promoted cleavage of the 27-kDa and 50-kDa fragments of rabbit S1 to the 22-kDa and 45-kDa peptides. The same changes in the digestion patterns as those produced by the presence of nucleotide (ATP or its beta,gamma-imido analog AdoP P[NH]P) at 25 degrees C were observed when the digestion was carried out at 0 degrees C in the absence of nucleotide. The low-temperature-induced changes were particularly well seen in the preparations from frog myosin. The presence of ATP or AdoP P[NH]P at 0 degrees C enhanced, whereas the complex formation with actin prevented, the low-temperature-induced changes. The results are consistent with there being two fundamental conformational states of the myosin head in an equilibrium that is dependent on the temperature, the nucleotide bound at the active site, and the presence or absence of actin. 相似文献

Elongation factor 3 (EF-3) is an ATPase essential for polypeptide chain synthesis in a variety of yeasts and fungi. We used limited proteolysis to study the organization of the subdomains of EF-3. Trypsinolysis of EF-3 at 30 degrees C resulted in the formation of three fragments with estimated molecular masses of 90, 70, and 50 kDa. Yeast ribosomes protected EF-3 and the large fragments from further degradation. ATP exposed a new tryptic cleavage site and stabilized the 70- and 50-kDa fragments. The conformation of EF-3 as measured by fluorescence spectroscopy did not change upon ATP binding. Poly(G) stimulated proteolysis and quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of EF-3. Using gel mobility shift, we demonstrated a direct interaction between EF-3 and tRNA. Neither tRNA nor rRNA altered the tryptic cleavage pattern. The proteolytic products were sequenced by mass spectrometric analysis. EF-3 is blocked NH(2)-terminally by an acetylated serine. The 90-, 70-, and 50-kDa fragments are also blocked NH(2)-terminally, confirming their origin. The 50-kDa fragment (Ser(2)-Lys(443)) is the most stable domain in EF-3 with no known function. The 70-kDa fragment (Ser(2)-Lys(668)) containing the first nucleotide-binding sequence motif forms the core ATP binding subdomain within the 90-kDa domain. The primary ribosome binding site is located near the loosely structured carboxyl-terminal end. 相似文献

In intestinal microvilli, the 110K-calmodulin complex is the major component of the cross-bridges which connect the core bundle of actin filaments to the membrane. Our previous work showed that the 110-kDa polypeptide can be divided into three functional domains: a 78-kDa fragment that contains the ATPase activity and the ATP-reversible F-actin-binding site, a 12-kDa fragment required for binding calmodulin molecules, and a terminal 20-kDa domain of unknown function [Coluccio, L. M., & Bretscher, A. (1988) J. Cell Biol. 106, 367-374]. By analysis of limited alpha-chymotryptic cleavage products, we now show that the molecular organization is very similar to that described for the S1 fragment of myosin. The catalytic site was identified by photoaffinity labeling with [5,6-3H]UTP, and fragments binding F-actin were identified by cosedimentation assays. Cleavage of the 78-kDa fragment yielded major fragments of 32 and 45 kDa, followed by cleavage of the 45-kDa fragment to a 40-kDa fragment. Of these, only the 32-kDa fragment was labeled by [5,6-3H]UTP. Physical characterization revealed that the 45- and 32-kDa fragments exist as a complex that can bind F-actin, whereas the 40-kDa/32-kDa complex cannot bind actin. We conclude that the catalytic site is located in the 32-kDa fragment and the F-actin-binding site is present in the 45-kDa fragment; the ability to bind actin is lost upon further cleavage of the 45-kDa fragment to 40 kDa. Peptide sequence analysis revealed that the 45-kDa fragment lies within the molecule and suggests that the 32-kDa fragment is the amino terminus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Steroid binding activity is retained in a 16-kDa fragment of the steroid binding domain of rat glucocorticoid receptors 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The steroid binding domain of the rat glucocorticoid receptor is considered as extending from amino acids 550 to 795. However, such a synthetic protein (i.e. amino acids 547-795; Mr approximately 31,000) has been reported to show very little affinity for the potent synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone. We now disclose that digestion of steroid-free rat glucocorticoid receptors with low concentrations of trypsin yields a single species, of Mr = 16,000, that is specifically labeled by dexamethasone 21-mesylate. This 16-kDa fragment retains high affinity binding for [3H]dexamethasone that is only approximately 23-fold lower than that seen with the intact 98-kDa receptor. Analysis of the protease digestion patterns obtained both with trypsin and with lysylendopeptidase C allowed us to deduce the proteolytic cleavage maps of the receptor with these enzymes. From these protease maps, the sequence of the 16-kDa fragment was identified as being threonine 537 to arginine 673. These results show that glucocorticoid receptor fragments smaller than 34 kDa do bind steroids and that the amino acids Thr537-Arg673 constitute a core sequence for ligand binding within the larger steroid binding domain. The much slower kinetics in generating the 16-kDa fragment from affinity-labeled receptors suggests that steroid binding causes a conformation change in the receptor near the cleavage sites. 相似文献

A novel family of cyclosporin A (CsA) binding proteins was identified by using the biologically active, radioiodinated photoaffinity probe [D-Lys-N epsilon-(4-azido-3-[125I]iodophenyl)propionyl)]8-CsA. In addition to cyclophilin, proteins with molecular masses of 43 kDa and approximately 50-55 kDa were labeled in Jurkat extracts and bovine calf thymus. Sequence analysis of the 43-kDa protein purified from calf thymus and subsequent Western analysis of CsA affinity-purified material from Jurkat extracts identified the 43-kDa component as actin. [D-Lys-N epsilon-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl)]8-CsA, a fluorescent analogue of CsA, was prepared and used to measure the binding constants of cyclosporin derivatives to actin by means of a new fluorescence displacement assay. [D-Lys-N epsilon-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl)]8-CsA and [N delta-t-butoxycarbonyl diaminobutyryl)]8-CsA bind to bovine actin at physiologically relevant concentrations, with dissociation constants of 60 +/- 33 and 570 +/- 380 nM, respectively. Because the ATPase fragment of heat shock cognate 70 (HSC 70) is structurally related to actin, the yeast homologue SSA1 was tested and found to be radiolabeled by the cyclosporin A photoaffinity reagent. The binding constant for [D-Lys-N epsilon-(5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl)]8-CsA to SSA1 was determined and is 53 +/- 48 nM. These results indicate that actin and the 70-kDa heat shock protein family contain a structurally related domain for binding of cyclosporin A-related peptides. 相似文献

The ATPase core of a clathrin uncoating protein 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33

Chymotryptic digestion of bovine brain uncoating ATPase produced a 60-kDa fragment that was subsequently proteolyzed to 44 kDa. Loss of clathrin cage uncoating activity paralleled the conversion of the intact 70-kDa enzyme to the 60-kDa fragment, while clathrin binding activity was lost as the 60-kDa fragment was degraded to 44 kDa. This 44-kDa fragment has been purified to homogeneity and characterized as a clathrin-independent ATPase. The 44-kDa ATPase domain has been localized within the intact enzyme by the use of amino-terminal specific antibodies. This localization relates to the conserved nature of the 70-kDa heat shock protein family, of which bovine brain uncoating ATPase is a constitutively expressed member. 相似文献

Dimethyl sulfoxide-induced conformational state of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase studied by proteolytic cleavage
Villas-Boas Tribuzy A Fontes CF Nørby JG Barrabin H 《Archives of biochemistry and biophysics》2002,399(1):89-95
Effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) on substrate affinity for phosphorylation by inorganic phosphate, on phosphorylation by ATP in the absence of Na(+), and on ouabain binding to the free form of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase have been attributed to changes in solvation of the active site or Me(2)SO-induced changes in the structure of the enzyme. Here we used selective trypsin cleavage as a procedure to determine the conformations that the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase acquires in Me(2)SO medium. In water or in Me(2)SO medium, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase exhibited after partial proteolysis two distinct groups of fragments: (1) in the presence of 0.1 M Na(+) or 0.1 M Na(+) + 3 mM ADP (enzyme in the E1 state) cleavage produced a main fragment of about 76 kDa; and (2) in the presence of 20 mM K(+) (E2 state) a 58-kDa fragment plus two or three fragments of 39-41 kDa were obtained. Cleavage in Me(2)SO medium in the absence of Na(+) and K(+) exhibited the same breakdown pattern as that obtained in the presence of K(+), but a 43-kDa fragment was also observed. An increase in the K(+) concentration to 0.5 mM eliminated the 43-kDa fragment, while a 39- to 41-kDa doublet was accumulated. Both in water and in Me(2)SO medium, a strong enhancement of the 43-kDa band was observed in the presence of either P(i) + ouabain or vanadate, suggesting that the 43-kDa fragment is closely related to the conformation of the phosphorylated enzyme. These results indicate that Me(2)SO acts not only by promoting the release of water from the ATP site, but also by inducing a conformation closely related to the phosphorylated state, even when the enzyme is not phosphorylated. 相似文献

DNA and nucleotide-induced conformational changes in the Escherichia coli Rep and helicase II (UvrD) proteins 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The domain structures of the Escherichia coli Rep and Helicase II proteins and their ligand-dependent conformational changes have been examined by monitoring the sensitivity of these helicases to proteolysis by trypsin and chymotrypsin. Limited treatment of unliganded Rep protein (73 kDa) with trypsin results in cleavage at a single site in its carboxyl-terminal region, producing a 68-kDa polypeptide which is stabilized in the presence of ATP, ADP, or adenosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S). The purified 68-kDa Rep tryptic polypeptide retains single-stranded (ss) DNA binding, DNA unwinding (helicase), and full ATPase activities. When bound to ssDNA, the Rep protein can be cleaved by trypsin at an additional site in its carboxyl-terminal region, producing a 58-kDa polypeptide that also retains ssDNA binding and ATPase activities. This 58-kDa Rep tryptic polypeptide can also be produced by further tryptic treatment of the 68-kDa Rep tryptic polypeptide when the latter is bound to ssDNA. This 58-kDa polypeptide displays a lower affinity for ssDNA indicating that the 10-kDa carboxyl-terminal peptide facilitates Rep protein binding to ssDNA. The 58-kDa Rep tryptic polypeptide is also stabilized in the presence of nucleotides. Based on these and previous studies that showed that the 68-kDa Rep tryptic polypeptide cannot support DNA replication in a system that is dependent upon the phi X174 cis-A protein (Arai, N. & Kornberg, A. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 5294-5298), we conclude that the carboxyl-terminal end (approximately 5 kDa) of the Rep protein is not required for its helicase or ATPase activities. However, we suggest that this region of the Rep protein is important for its interactions with the phi X174 cis-A protein. Limited treatment of unliganded Helicase II protein (82 kDa) with chymotrypsin results in cleavage after Tyr254, producing a 29-kDa amino-terminal polypeptide and a 53-kDa carboxyl-terminal polypeptide, which remain associated under nondenaturing conditions. This chymotrypsin cleavage reduces the ssDNA binding activity and eliminates the ssDNA-dependent ATPase and helicase activities of the Helicase II protein. The binding of ATP, ADP, ATP gamma S, and/or DNA to Helicase II protein results in protection of this site (Tyr254) from cleavage by chymotrypsin. Limited treatment of Helicase II protein with trypsin results in cleavage near its carboxyl-terminal end producing two polypeptides with apparent Mr = 72,000, in a manner similar to that observed with the Rep protein; these polypeptides are also stabilized by binding ATP or single-stranded DNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

To probe the effect of nucleotide on the formation of ionic contacts between actin and the 567-578 residue loop of the heavy chain of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin subfragment 1 (S1), the complexes between F-actin and proteolytic derivatives of S1 were submitted to chemical cross-linking with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide. We have shown that in the absence of nucleotide both 45 kDa and 5 kDa tryptic derivatives of the central 50 kDa heavy chain fragment of S1 can be cross-linked to actin, whereas in the presence of MgADP.AlF4, only the 5 kDa fragment is involved in cross-linking reaction. By the identification of the N-terminal sequence of the 5-kDa fragment, we have found that trypsin splits the 50 kDa heavy chain fragment between Lys-572 and Gly-573, the residues located within the 567-578 loop. Using S1 preparations cleaved with elastase, we could show that the residue of 567-578 loop that can be cross-linked to actin in the presence of MgADP.AlF4 is Lys-574. The observed nucleotide-dependent changes of the actin-subfragment 1 interface indicate that the 567-578 residue loop of skeletal muscle myosin participates in the communication between the nucleotide and actin binding sites. 相似文献

Characterization of structural domains of the human epidermal growth factor receptor obtained by partial proteolysis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Partial cleavage with trypsin has been used to study the structure of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor purified from human carcinoma cells. Following affinity labeling of the receptor with 125I-EGF or the ATP analogue 5'-p-fluorosulfonyl benzoyl[14C]adenosine, metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine, [3H]glucosamine, or [32P]orthophosphate, or in vitro autophosphorylation with [gamma-32P]ATP, tryptic cleavage defines the following three regions of the 180-kDa receptor protein: 1) a 125-kDa trypsin-resistant domain which contains sites of glycosylation, EGF binding, and an EGF-specific threonine phosphorylation site; 2) an adjacent 40-kDa fragment which contains serine and threonine phosphorylation sites and is further cleaved to a 30-kDa trypsin-resistant domain; and 3) a terminal 15-kDa portion of the receptor that contains the sites of tyrosine phosphorylation and is degraded to small fragments in the presence of trypsin. Both the 125- and 40-kDa regions of the EGF receptor appear to be required for receptor-associated protein kinase activity since separation of these regions by tryptic cleavage abolishes this activity, and both regions are specifically labeled with an ATP affinity analogue, suggesting that both are involved in ATP binding. Additional 63- and 48-kDa phosphorylated fragments are generated upon trypsin treatment of EGF receptor from EGF-treated cells. The potential usefulness of partial tryptic cleavage in studying the EGF receptor and the possible biological function of the 30-kDa trypsin-resistant fragment of the receptor are discussed. 相似文献

Near-UV irradiation in the presence of vanadate cleaves the heavy chain of myosin subfragment 1 at three specific sites located at 23, 31, and 74 kDa from the N-terminus. Increasing the pH from 6.0 to 8.5, gradually, reduces the efficiency of the cleavage and completely eliminates the 31-kDa cut. Actin specifically inhibits the photocleavage at the sites located 31 and 74 kDa from the N-terminus. ATP strongly protects from cleavage at the 23- and 31-kDa sites and less strongly from the cut at the 74-kDa site. ADP and pyrophosphate have similar, but less pronounced, effects as ATP. Orthophosphate inhibits the photocleavage at the 23- and 74-kDa sites with a similar efficiency. In the ternary actin-S-1-ATP complex, the photocleavage is inhibited at all sites, and the effects of actin and ATP are additive. Photocleavages affect the K+(EDTA)-, Ca2(+)-, and actin-activated ATPase activity of subfragment 1. Loss of all three ATPases is caused by cleavage at the 23-kDa site, while the cut at the 74-kDa site only leads to the loss of actin-activated ATPase activity. It is concluded that subfragment 1 contains at least two distinct phosphate binding sites, the first being part of the "consensus" ATP binding site wherein the 23-kDa photocleavage site is located. This site is responsible for the binding and hydrolysis of ATP. It is possible that the 31-kDa cleavage site is also associated with the "consensus" site through a loop. The 74-kDa cleavage site is a part of another phosphate binding site which may play a role in the regulation of the myosin-actin interaction. 相似文献

Localization of the sites of ADP-ribosylation and GTP binding in the eukaryotic elongation factor EF-2 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Tryptic cleavage of EF-2, molecular mass 93 kDa, produced an 82-kDa polypeptide and a 10-kDa fragment, which was further degraded. By a slower reaction the 82-kDa polypeptide was gradually split into a 48-kDa and a 34-kDa fragment. Similarly, treatment with chymotrypsin resulted in the formation of an 82-kDa polypeptide and a small fragment. In contrast to the tryptic 82-kDa polypeptide the corresponding chymotryptic cleavage product was relatively resistant to further attack. The degradation of the 82-kDa polypeptide with either trypsin or chymotrypsin was facilitated by the presence of guanosine nucleotides, indicating a conformational shift in native EF-2 upon nucleotide binding. No effect was observed in the presence of ATP, indicating that the effect was specific for guanosine nucleotides. After affinity labelling of native EF-2 with oxidized [3H]GTP and subsequent trypsin treatment the radioactivity was recovered in the 48-kDa polypeptide showing that the GTP-binding site was located within this part of the factor. Correspondingly, tryptic degradation of EF-2 labelled with [14C]NAD+ in the presence of diphtheria toxin showed that the site of ADP-ribosylation was within the 34-kDa polypeptide. By cleavage with the tryptophan-specific reagent N-chlorosuccinimide the site of ADP-ribosylation could be located at a distance of 40-60 kDa from the GTP-binding site and about 4-11 kDa from the nearest terminus. 相似文献

A new, smaller actin-activatable myosin subfragment 1 which lacks the 20-kDa, SH1 and SH2 peptide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The actin-dependent ATPase activity of myosin is retained in the separated heads (S1) which contain the NH2-terminal 95-kDa heavy chain fragment and one or two light chains. The S1 heavy chain can be degraded further by limited trypsin treatment into characteristic 25-, 50-, and 20-kDa peptides, in this order from the NH2-terminal end. The 20-kDa peptide contains an actin-binding site and SH1 and SH2, two thiols whose modification dramatically affects ATPase activity. By treating myosin filaments with trypsin at 4 degrees C in the presence of 2 mM MgCl2, we have now obtained preferential cleavage at the 50-20-kDa heavy chain site without any cleavage at the head-rod junction and hinge region in the rod. Incubation of these trypsinized filaments at 37 degrees C in the presence of MgATP released a new S1 fraction which lacked the COOH-terminal 20-kDa heavy chain peptide region. This fraction, termed S1'(75K), has more than 50% of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of S1 and the characteristic Ca2+-ATPase and K+-EDTA ATPase activities of myosin. These results show that SH1 and SH2 are not essential for ATPase activity and that binding of actin to the 20-kDa region is not essential for the enhancement of the Mg2+-ATPase activity. 相似文献

The time course of formation and decay of protein-bound adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) has been monitored during single turnovers of the myosin subfragment 1 ATPase with nonspectrophotometric techniques. The rate constant controlling the ATP cleavage step increases markedly with ionic strength, so that in low salt the protein--ATP complex is observed transiently at higher concentration than the protein-products complex. The kinetics of the ATP cleavage step in a single turnover of the actosubfragment 1 ATPase indicates that under appropriate conditions this step is partially rate limiting during overall steady-state ATPase activity. It follows that a binary subfragment 1-ATP complex is a significant component of the steady-state intermediate of the actosubfragment 1 ATPase. Transient kinetic studies of ATP and adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) [ATP (gamma S)] binding show directly that a substrate-induced protein isomerization accompanies ligand binding. The rate constant of the isomerization is 170 s-1 at pH 7.0, 15 degrees C, and 0.01 M ionic strength. Under these conditions nucleotide binding appears to be accompanied by a protein fluorescence increase that is 50% of the increase associated with magnesium-dependent steady-state ATPase activity. 相似文献

ATP binding induces a conformational change in 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) that facilitates release of bound polypeptides. Using the bovine heat shock cognate protein (Hsc70) as a representative of the Hsp70 family, we have characterized the effect of mutations on the coupling between ATP binding and the nucleotide-induced conformational change. Steady-state solution small-angle X-ray scattering and kinetic fluorescence measurements on a 60-kDa fragment of Hsc70 show that point mutations K71M, E175S, D199S, and D206S in the nucleotide binding cleft impair the ability of ATP to induce a conformational change. A secondary mutation in the peptide binding domain, E543K, "rescues" the ATP-induced transition for three of these mutations (E175S/E543K, D199S/E543K, and D206S/E543K) but not for K71M/E543K. Analysis of kinetics of the ATPase cycle confirm that these effects do not result from unexpectedly rapid ATP hydrolysis or slow ATP binding. Crystallographic structures of E175S, D199S, and D206S mutant ATPase fragment proteins show that the mutations do not perturb the tertiary structure of the protein but do significantly alter the protein-ligand interactions, due in part to an apparent charge compensation effect whereby mutating a (probably) negatively charged carboxyl group to a neutral serine displaces a K+ ion from the nucleotide binding cleft in two out of three cases (E175S and D199S but not D206S). 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of the N-terminal 23-kilodalton fragment of myosin subfragment 1 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A Muhlrad 《Biochemistry》1989,28(9):4002-4010
The 23-kDa N-terminal tryptic fragment was isolated from the heavy chain of rabbit skeletal myosin subfragment 1 (S-1). The heavy-chain fragments were dissociated by guanidine hydrochloride following limited trypsinolysis, and the 23-kDa fragment was isolated by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Finally, the fragment was renatured by removing the denaturants. The CD spectrum of the renatured fragment shows the presence of ordered structure. The tryptophan fluorescence emission spectrum of the fragment is considerably shifted to the red upon adding guanidine hydrochloride which indicates that the tryptophans are located in relatively hydrophobic environments. The two 23-kDa tryptophans, unlike the rest of the S-1 tryptophans, are fully accessible to acrylamide as indicated by fluorescence quenching. The isolated 23-kDa fragment cosediments with F-actin in the ultracentrifuge and significantly increases the light scattering of actin in solution which indicates actin binding. The binding is rather tight (Kd = 0.1 microM) and ionic strength dependent (decreasing with increasing ionic strength). ATP, pyrophosphate, and ADP dissociate the 23-kDa-actin complex with decreasing effectiveness. The isolated 23-kDa fragment does not have ATPase activity; however, it inhibits the actin-activated ATPase activity of S-1 by competing presumably with S-1 for binding sites on actin. F-Actin binds to the 23-kDa fragment immobilized on the nitrocellulose membrane. The fragment was further cleaved, and one of the resulting peptides, containing the 130-204 stretch of residues, was found to bind actin on the nitrocellulose membrane, indicating that this region of the 23-kDa fragment participates in forming an actin binding site. 相似文献

Domain mapping of chicken gizzard caldesmon 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Limited proteolysis, affinity chromatography, and immunoblotting have been used to define the domains of chicken gizzard caldesmon, caldesmon120, that interact with calmodulin, F-actin, and a monoclonal antibody prepared using human platelet caldesmon. Treatment of caldesmon120 with chymotrypsin produces groups of fragments near 100, 80, 60, 38, and 20 kDa. Further digestion produces peptides between 40 and 50 kDa. The 100- and 80-kDa peptides cross-react with the monoclonal antibody; the smaller polypeptides do not. The kinetics of cleavage and the antibody studies indicate that the 38- and 80-kDa fragments are the two major pieces of the 120-kDa protein. The 38-kDa fragment, purified by high performance liquid chromatography, and several of its subfragments at 21 and 25 kDa sediment with F-actin, bind to calmodulin-Sepharose in the presence of Ca2+, and are displaced from F-actin by Ca2+-calmodulin. The 80-kDa fragments did not interact with F-actin or calmodulin. We have tentatively placed the 38-kDa fragment at the C-terminal using polyclonal antibodies selected against a beta-galactosidase-caldesmon120 fusion protein produced by a lambda gt11 lysogen. The 38-, 25-, and 21-kDa fragments cross-react with these antibodies; the 80- and 60-kDa fragments do not. Caldesmon77 from human platelets also cross-reacts with these selected antibodies. The results suggest that interacting calmodulin and F-actin binding sites are localized on a 38-kDa C-terminal fragment of caldesmon. The smallest subfragment of this peptide that binds to both F-actin and calmodulin-Sepharose is about 21 kDa. The monoclonal antibody epitope is tentatively localized near the N-terminal of caldesmon77 and must be within 50 kDa of the N-terminal on caldesmon120. 相似文献

We have perturbed myosin nucleotide binding site with magnesium‐, manganese‐, or calcium‐nucleotide complexes, using metal cation as a probe to examine the pathways of myosin ATPase in the presence of actin. We have used transient time‐resolved FRET, myosin intrinsic fluorescence, fluorescence of pyrene labeled actin, combined with the steady state myosin ATPase activity measurements of previously characterized D.discoideum myosin construct A639C:K498C. We found that actin activation of myosin ATPase does not depend on metal cation, regardless of the cation‐specific kinetics of nucleotide binding and dissociation. The rate limiting step of myosin ATPase depends on the metal cation. The rate of the recovery stroke and the reverse recovery stroke is directly proportional to the ionic radius of the cation. The rate of nucleotide release from myosin and actomyosin, and ATP binding to actomyosin depends on the cation coordination number. 相似文献

Myosin subfragment 1 (S1) is cleaved by near-ultraviolet irradiation in the presence of vanadate at three sites located at 23, 31 and 74 kDa from the N-terminus. Since vanadate is considered to be a good structural analogue of phosphate, it is assumed that the cleavage sites participate in forming the phosphate-binding site(s) of S1. In this work, the effect of various ions on the vanadate-induced photocleavage of S1 was studied. Monovalent anions were found to inhibit photocleavage in the 50-200 mM range. The inhibition is more expressed at a site 74 kDa from the N-terminus than at the 23-kDa and 31-kDa sites. The inhibitory effect of the monovalent anions increases in the order acetate = F- less than Cl- less than Br- less than I- = SCN-. The order of the inhibitory effect is identical to the protein-structure-damaging effect of monovalent anions in the von Hippel series [von Hipel, P. H. & Wong, K. Y. (1964) Science 145, 577-581]. Therefore, it is assumed that decreased photocleavage is due to local perturbations of structure, especially at the 74-kDa site, in addition to increased ionic strength. Divalent anions, sulfate and thiosulfate, strongly inhibit photocleavage at 2 mM. The inhibition is very pronounced at the 23-kDa and 31-kDa sites, while the 74-kDa site is hardly affected. Since photocleavage at the 23-kDa and 31-kDa sites is regulated jointly and independently from cleavage at the 74-kDa site, it is assumed that S1 has two distinct phosphate-binding sites: the regions of the 23-kDa and 31-kDa cleavage sites, which are proximal to each other in the spatial structure, participate in forming the first phosphate-binding site, while the 74-kDa site is part of the second binding site. Sulfate was also found to inhibit the trapping of vanadate and to facilitate its release from the S1-MgADP-Vi (Vi, inorganic vanadate) complex. Photocleavage of S1 takes place at all three sites, both in the presence or absence of divalent cations, indicating that these, including Mg2+, are not essential for cleavage. 相似文献
