Myosin from the hearts of thyrotoxic animals (myosin-T) exhibits elevated Ca2+-ATPase activity. To clarify the physiological significance of this increased activity, we have investigated the steady state kinetics of the interaction of actin and MgATP with the double-headed heavy meromyosin subfragment of cardiac myosin from thyrotoxic rabbits (HMM-T). The enhanced Ca2+-ATPase activity of myosin-T was completely retained in HMM-T. The Vmax for actin-activated MgATP hydrolysis by HMM-T (1.08 +/- 0.10 mumol of Pi/mg/min). Under physiological ionic conditions, the Vmax was 0.14 +/- 0.02 mumol of Pi/mg/min as compared with the normal value of 0.08 +/- 0.01 mumol of Pi/mg/min. Furthermore, the salt dependence of Vmax and Kapp for the actin-activated ATPase of HMM-T differed markedly from normal and resembled that usually associated with the single-headed (S1) cleavage product of myosin. These results suggest that the changes in enzymatic properties of myosin-T are responsible for the increased speed of contraction observed in the hearts of thyrotoxic animals. Also, the alteration in the interaction of HMM-T with actin suggests that a loss of cooperativity between the myosin heads may occur.  相似文献

We studied the effects of caldesmon, a major actin- and calmodulin-binding protein found in a variety of muscle and non-muscle tissues, on the various ATPase activities of skeletal-muscle myosin. Caldesmon inhibited the actin-activated myosin Mg2+-ATPase, and this inhibition was enhanced by tropomyosin. In the presence of the troponin complex and tropomyosin, caldesmon inhibited the Ca2+-dependent actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase; this inhibition could be partly overcome by Ca2+/calmodulin. Caldesmon, phosphorylated to the extent of approximately 4 mol of Pi/mol of caldesmon, inhibited the actin-activated myosin Mg2+-ATPase to the same extent as did non-phosphorylated caldesmon. Both inhibitions could be overcome by Ca2+/calmodulin. Caldesmon also inhibited the Mg2+-ATPase activity of skeletal-muscle myosin in the absence of actin; this inhibition also could be overcome by Ca2+/calmodulin. Caldesmon inhibited the Ca2+-ATPase activity of skeletal-muscle myosin in the presence or absence of actin, at both low (0.1 M-KCl) and high (0.3 M-KCl) ionic strength. Finally, caldesmon inhibited the skeletal-muscle myosin K+/EDTA-ATPase at 0.1 M-KCl, but not at 0.3 M-KCl. Addition of actin resulted in no inhibition of this ATPase by caldesmon at either 0.1 M- or 0.3 M-KCl. These observations suggest that caldesmon may function in the regulation of actin-myosin interactions in striated muscle and thereby modulate the contractile state of the muscle. The demonstration that caldesmon inhibits a variety of myosin ATPase activities in the absence of actin indicates a direct effect of caldesmon on myosin. The inhibition of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of myosin (the physiological activity) may not be due therefore simply to the binding of caldesmon to the actin filament causing blockage of myosin-cross-bridge-actin interaction.  相似文献

The effects of purealin isolated from the sea sponge, Psammaplysilla purea, on the enzymatic properties of myosin and natural actomyosin (a complex of myosin, actin, tropomyosin and troponin) from canine cardiac ventricle were studied. Purealin increased the ATPase activity of natural actomyosin and the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin, and accelerated the superprecipitation of natural actomyosin. The Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities of myosin were inhibited by purealin, whereas the K+-EDTA-ATPase activity was increased. These results suggest that purealin binds to the myosin portion involved in actin-myosin interaction and increases the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin.  相似文献

The regulatory light chains of dog heart myosin were removed by digestion with myopathic hamster neutral protease. The heavy chains were also cleaved to an extent of 15%, but a homogeneous, rod-free LC2-deficient myosin was obtained by ion-exchange chromatography. A similar approach was used to prepare LC2-deficient heavy meromyosin. Neither Ca2+- nor K+-EDTA-activated ATPases were affected by LC2 removal. The Lineweaver-Burk plots for actin-activated ATPase in 25 mM KCl were biphasic giving a Vmax of 1.54 s-1 for control and LC2-recombined myosins and 1.08 s-1 for LC2-deficient myosin at low actin concentrations. At high actin concentrations, the Vmax for control and recombined myosins was 2.33 s-1 and 1.39 s-1 for LC2-deficient myosin. Increasing the KCl concentration in the reaction mixtures resulted in more linear plots without suppressing the 35-45% decrease in Vmax that accompanied LC2 removal. The results from assays with control and LC2-deficient heavy meromyosin performed in the absence of KCl, paralleled those obtained with myosin. The latter was also assayed in the presence of equimolar concentrations of C-protein in 50 mM KCl: C-protein induced a significant increase in the actin-activated ATPase of both control and LC2-recombined myosins, with no effect on LC2-deficient myosin. The Vmax for actin-activation in the presence of C-protein was 2.38 s-1, 0.83 s-1, and 1.71 s-1 for control, LC2-deficient, and recombined myosins, respectively. The enhancement of actin-activation in both the control and LC2-recombined myosins represents a possible role for C-protein in a LC2-mediated potentiation of actomyosin ATPase.  相似文献

Isoelectric focusing of purified vascular smooth muscle myosin revealed two variants of the 17,000-dalton light chain subunits. The isoelectric points of the light chain variants were determined to be 4.13 (LC17a) and 4.19 (LC17b). Tryptic peptide maps of the two species of light chain generated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography disclosed small but obvious differences in peptide composition while amino acid analyses of the variants were quite similar. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of extracts from various mammalian smooth muscles revealed tissue-specific differences in the relative content of LC17a and LC17b. Vascular (aorta, carotid, and pulmonary artery) muscles and tracheal smooth muscle contained both light chain variants while smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and jejunum) contained LC17a only. The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities of both phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated stomach (LC17b = 0) and aortic (LC17b = 40%) myosins were compared. In the presence of saturating tropomyosin, a 2-fold difference in Vmax was measured: phosphorylated, aortic, 0.119 +/- 0.009 versus stomach, 0.239 +/- 0.012 mumol of PO4 liberated/min/mg of myosin; nonphosphorylated, aortic, 0.065 +/- 0.004 versus stomach, 0.123 +/- 0.004 mumol of PO4 liberated/min/mg of myosin. In addition, the Vmax of myosin subfragment-1 ATPase from bovine aortic, pulmonary artery, and stomach myosins (LC17b contents, 40, 20, and 0%, respectively) was found to decrease in direct proportion to the LC17b content. Our results suggest that isoforms of the 17,000-dalton light chain subunits of mammalian smooth muscle myosin could play an important role in modulating actomyosin ATPase activity.  相似文献

The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase of myosin II from Acanthamoeba castellanii is regulated by phosphorylation of 3 serine residues at the tip of the tail of each of its two heavy chains; only dephosphorylated myosin II is active, whereas the phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms have identical Ca2+-ATPase activities and Mg2+-ATPase activities in the absence of F-actin. We have now chemically modified phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin II with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The modification occurred principally at a single site within the NH2-terminal 73,000 Da of the globular head of the heavy chain. NEM-myosin II bound to F-actin and formed filaments normally, but the Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities of phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin II and the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of NEM-dephosphorylated myosin II were inhibited. Only filamentous myosin II has actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity. Native phosphorylated myosin II acquired actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity when it was co-polymerized with NEM-inactivated dephosphorylated myosin II, and the increase in its activity was cooperatively dependent on the fraction of NEM-dephosphorylated myosin II in the filaments. From this result, we conclude that the specific activity of each molecule within a filament is independent of its own state of phosphorylation, but is highly cooperatively dependent upon the state of phosphorylation of the filament as a whole. This enables the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of myosin II filaments to respond rapidly and extensively to small changes in the level of their phosphorylation.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against gizzard smooth muscle myosin were generated and characterized. One of these antibodies, designated MM-2, recognized the 17-kDa light chain and modulated the ATPase activities and hydrodynamic properties of smooth muscle myosin. Rotary shadowing electron microscopy showed that MM-2 binds 51 (+/- 25) A from the head-rod junction. The depression of Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities of myosin and Ca2+-ATPase activity of heavy meromyosin at low KCl concentration were abolished by MM-2. Viscosity measurement indicated that MM-2 inhibits the transition of 6 S myosin to 10 S myosin. While the rate of the production of subfragment-1 by papain proteolysis of 6 S myosin was inhibited by MM-2, the rate of proteolysis of the heavy chain of 10 S myosin was enhanced by MM-2 and reached the same rate as that of 6 S myosin plus MM-2. These results suggest that MM-2 inhibits the formation of 10 S myosin by binding to the 17-kDa light chain which is localized at the head-neck region of the myosin molecule. MM-2 increased the Vmax of actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities of both dephosphorylated myosin and dephosphorylated heavy meromyosin about 10- and 20-fold, respectively. MM-2 also activated the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of phosphorylated myosin at a low MgCl2 concentration and thus abolished the Mg2+-dependence of acto phosphorylated myosin ATPase activity. These results suggest that MM-2 inhibits the formation of 10 S myosin, and this results in the activation of actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity even in the absence of phosphorylation.  相似文献

The role of the N-terminal region of myosin light chain 1 (LC1) in actomyosin interaction was investigated using an IgG monoclonal antibody (2H2) directed against the N-terminal region of LC1. We defined the binding site of 2H2 by examining its cross-reactivity with myosin light chains from a variety of species and with synthetic oligopeptides. Our findings suggest that 2H2 is directed against the N-terminal region of LC1 which includes the trimethylated alanine residue at the N-terminus. In the presence of 2H2, the rate of actomyosin superprecipitation was reduced, although the extent was not. 2H2 caused a reduction in the Vmax of both myosin and chymotryptic S1(A1) actin-activated ATPase activity, while the Km appeared to be unaltered. The Mg(2+)-ATPase activity of myosin alone was also unaffected. Binding studies revealed that 2H2 did not prevent the formation of acto-S1 complex, either in the presence or in the absence of ATP, nor did it affect the ability of ATP to dissociate S1 from F-actin. Our findings suggest that the N-terminal region of LC1 is not essential for actin binding but is involved in modulating actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin.  相似文献

The contractile system of smooth muscle exhibits distinctive responses to varying Mg2+ concentrations in that maximum adenosine-5'-triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of actomyosin requires relatively high concentrations of Mg2+ and also that tension in skinned smooth muscle fibers can be induced in the absence of Ca2+ by high Mg2+ concentrations. We have examined the effects of MgCl2 on actomyosin ATPase activity and on tension development in skinned gizzard fibers and suggest that the MgCl2-induced changes may be correlated to shifts in myosin conformation. At low concentrations of free Mg2+ (less than or equal to 1 mM) the actin-activated ATPase activity of phosphorylated turkey gizzard myosin is reduced and is increased as the Mg2+ concentration is raised. The increase in Mg2+ (over a range of 1-10 mM added MgCl2) induces the conversion of 10S phosphorylated myosin to the 6S form, and it was found that the proportion of myosin as 10S is inversely related to the level of actin-activated ATPase activity. Activation of the actin-activated ATPase activity also occurs with dephosphorylated myosin but at higher MgCl2 concentrations, between 10 and 40 mM added MgCl2. Viscosity and fluorescence measurements indicate that increasing Mg2+ levels over this concentration range favor the formation of the 6S conformation of dephosphorylated myosin, and it is proposed that the 10S to 6S transition is a prerequisite for the observed activation of ATPase activity. With glycerinated chicken gizzard fibers high MgCl2 concentrations (6-20 mM) promote tension in the absence of Ca2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The influence of the DTNB light chain of myosin on its enzymatic activities was examined by studying the superprecipitation of actomyosin and the actin-activated ATPase of heavy meromyosin (HMM) [EC 3.6.1.3]. Although the Ca2+-, Mg2+-, and EDTA-ATPase activities of control and DTNB myosin were practically the same, the superprecipitation of actomyosin prepared from actin and DTNB myosin occurred more slowly than that of control myosin. The apparent binding constant obtained from double-reciprocal plots of actin-activated ATPase of DTNB HMM was lower than that of control HMM. Recombination of DTNB myosin and HMM with DTNB light chains restored the original properties of myosin and HMM. The removal of DTNB light chain from myosin had no effect on the formation of the rigor complex between actin and myosin. These results suggest that the DTNB light chain participates in the interaction of myosin with actin in the presence of ATP.  相似文献

Solubilization of active (H+ + K+)-ATPase from gastric membrane   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
(H+ + K+)-ATPase-enriched membranes were prepared from hog gastric mucosa by sucrose gradient centrifugation. These membranes contained Mg2+-ATPase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities (68 +/- 9 mumol Pi and 2.9 +/- 0.6 mumol p-nitrophenol/mg protein per h) which were insensitive to ouabain and markedly stimulated by 20 mM KCl (respectively, 2.2- and 14.8-fold). Furthermore, the membranes autophosphorylated in the absence of K+ (up to 0.69 +/- 0.09 nmol Pi incorporated/mg protein) and dephosphorylated by 85% in the presence of this ion. Membrane proteins were extracted by 1-2% (w/v) n-octylglucoside into a soluble form, i.e., which did not sediment in a 100 000 X g X 1 h centrifugation. This soluble form precipitated upon further dilution in detergent-free buffer. Extracted ATPase represented 32% (soluble form) and 68% (precipitated) of native enzyme and it displayed the same characteristic properties in terms of K+-stimulated ATPase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities and K+-sensitive phosphorylation: Mg2+-ATPase (mumol Pi/mg protein per h) 32 +/- 9 (basal) and 86 +/- 20 (K+-stimulated); Mg2+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase (mumol p-nitrophenol/mg protein per h) 2.6 +/- 0.5 (basal) and 22.2 +/- 3.2 (K+-stimulated); Mg2+-phosphorylation (nmol Pi/mg protein) 0.214 +/- 0.041 (basal) and 0.057 +/- 0.004 (in the presence of K+). In glycerol gradient centrifugation, extracted enzyme equilibrated as a single peak corresponding to an apparent 390 000 molecular weight. These findings provide the first evidence for the solubilization of (H+ + K+)-ATPase in a still active structure.  相似文献

1. The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of gizzard HMM increased in proportion to the square of the extent of LC phosphorylation. This result indicates that the LCs of HMM are randomly phosphorylated, and the phosphorylation of both heads of HMM is required for the activation of HMM Mg2+-ATPase by F-actin. 2. In 75 mM KCl, the Mg2+-ATPase activity of gizzard myosin was activated by F-actin only slightly when a half of the total LC was phosphorylated. From 1 to 2 mol LC phosphorylation, the activity was enhanced by F-actin almost linearly. In 30 mM KCl, the activity of acto-gizzard myosin increased sigmoidally with increase in the extent of LC phosphorylation. On electron microscopy, side-by-side aggregates of myosin filaments were observed in 30 mM KCl, but not in 75 mM KCl. It was suggested that the activation of the Mg2+-ATPase activity of acto-gizzard myosin LC phosphorylation is modified by formation of myosin filaments and their aggregates. 3. The relationship between the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of HMM or myosin and the extent of LC phosphorylation was unaffected by tropomyosin.  相似文献

The actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of myosin II from Acanthamoeba castellanii is regulated by phosphorylation of 3 serines in its 29-residue, nonhelical, COOH-terminal tailpiece, i.e., serines-1489, -1494, and -1499 or, in reverse order, residues 11, 16, and 21 from the COOH terminus. To investigate the essential requirements for regulation, myosin II filaments in the presence of F-actin were digested by arginine-specific submaxillary gland protease. Two-dimensional peptide mapping of purified, cleaved myosin II showed that the two most terminal phosphorylation sites, serines-1494 and -1499, had been removed. Cleaved dephosphorylated myosin II retained full actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity (with no change in Vmax or Kapp) and the ability to form filaments similar to those of the native enzyme. However, higher Mg2+ concentrations were required for both filament formation and maximal ATPase activity. The one remaining regulatory serine in the cleaved myosin II was phosphorylatable by myosin II heavy-chain kinase, and phosphorylation inactivated the actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity, as in the case of the native myosin II. Also as in the case of the native myosin II, phosphorylated cleaved myosin II inhibited the actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of dephosphorylated cleaved myosin II when the two were copolymerized. These results suggest that at least 18 of the 29 residues in the nonhelical tailpiece of the heavy chain are not required for either actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity or filament formation and that phosphorylation of Ser-1489 is sufficient to regulate the actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of myosin II.  相似文献

The interactions were analyzed between actin, myosin, and a recently discovered high molecular weight actin-binding protein (Hartwig, J. H., and Stossel, T. P. (1975) J. Biol Chem.250,5696-5705) of rabbit alveolar macrophages. Purified rabbit alveolar macrophage or rabbit skeletal muscle F-actins did not activate the Mg2+ATPase activity of purified rabbit alveolar macrophage myosin unless an additional cofactor, partially purified from macrophage extracts, was added. The Mg2+ATPase activity of cofactor-activated macrophage actomyosin was as high as 0.6 mumol of Pi/mg of myosin protein/min at 37 degrees. The macrophage cofactor increased the Mg2+ATPase activity of rabbit skeletal muscle actomyosin, and calcium regulated the Mg2+ATPase activity of cofactor-activited muscle actomyosin in the presence of muscle troponins and tropomyosin. However, the Mg2+ATPase activity of macrophage actomyosin in the presence of the cofactor was inhibited by muscle control proteins, both in the presence and absence of calcium. The Mg2+ATPase activity of the macrophage actomyosin plus cofactor, whether assembled from purified components or studied in a complex collected from crude macrophage extracts, was not influenced by the presence of absence of calcium ions. Therefore, as described for Acanthamoeba castellanii myosin (Pollard, T. D., and Korn, E. D. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 4691-4697), rabbit alveolar macrophage myosin requires a cofactor for activation of its Mg2+ATPase activity by F-actin; and no evidence was found for participation of calcium ions in the regulation of this activity.In macrophage extracts containing 0.34 M sucrose, 0.5 mM ATP, and 0.05 M KCl at pH 7.0,the actin-binding protein bound F-actin into bundles with interconnecting bridges. Purified macrophage actin-binding protein in 0.1 M KCl at pH 7.0 also bound purified macrophage F-actin into filament bundles. Macrophage myosin bound to F-actin in the absence but not the presence of Mg2+ATP, but the actin-binding protein did not bind to macrophage myosin in either the presence or absence of Mg2+ATP.  相似文献

Approximately 8-10 mg of highly actin-activatable, CA2+-sensitive Acanthamoeba myosin II can be isolated in greater than 98% purity from 100 g of amoeba by the new procedure described in detail in this paper. The enzyme isolated by this procedure can be activated by actin because its heavy chains are not fully phosphorylated (Collins, J. H., and Korn, E. D. (1980) J. Biol Chem. 255, 8011-8014). We now show that Acanthamoeba myosin II Mg2+-ATPase activity is more highly activated by Acanthamoeba actin than by muscle actin. Also, actomyosin II ATPase is inactive at concentrations of free Mg2+ lower than about 3 mM and fully active at Mg2+ concentrations greater than 4 mM. Actomyosin II Mg2+-ATPase activity is stimulated by micromolar Ca2+ when assayed over the narrow range of about 3-4 mM Mg2+ but is not affected by Ca2+ at either lower or higher concentrations of Mg2+. The specific activity of te actomyosin II Mg2+-ATPase also increases with increasing concentrations of myosin II when the free Mg2+ concentration is in the range of 3-4 mM but is independent of the myosin II concentration at lower or higher concentrations of Mg2+ . This marked effect of the Mg2+ concentration on the Ca2+-sensitivity and myosin concentration-dependence of th specific activity of actomyosin II ATPase activity does not seem to be related to the formation of myosin filaments, and to be related to the formation of myosin filaments, and myosin II is insoluble only at high concentrations of free Mg2+ (6-7 mM) were neither of these effects is observed. Also, the Mg2+ requirements for actomyosin II ATPase activity and myosin II insolubility can be differentially modified by EDTA and sucrose.  相似文献

A highly purified preparation of myosin from Physarum polycephalum has been shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to contain heavy chains and only one molecular weight class of light chains, of approx. 15 000 daltons. Kinetic investigations of the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolases, EC 3.6.1.3) at pH 8.0 gave Km and V values of 17.3 muM and 1.25 mumol Pi/min per mg, and 2.4 muM and 0.12 mumol Pi/min per mg, respectively. Adenylyl imidodiphosphate, a beta-gamma-imido ATP analog, inhibited the ATPase activity of Physarum myosin competitively with Ki values equal to 350 and 12 muM in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+, respectively. The ATPase activity of Physarum myosin was inhibited at a very low rate (t1/2 = 24 h) by the ATP analog, 6,6'-dithiobis(inosinyl imidodiphosphate), with concentrations of inhibitor previously shown to inactivate (t1/2 approximately 10 min) skeletal and cardiac myosins rapidly by reacting with key cysteines.  相似文献

Changes in microsomal Na+, K+-, Mg2+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities during cell proliferation were examined in Chinese hamster V-79 (V-79) cells (normal cells) and human HeLaS-3 (HeLaS-3) cells (malignant cells). For V-79 cells, the Mg2+-ATPase activity per cell (pmol Pi/h/cell) in the confluent phase was higher than that in the logarithmically growing (log) phase. The amount of microsomal protein per cell was also high in the confluent phase. Specific activities (mumol Pi/h/mg protein) of Na+, K+-, Mg2+- and Ca2+-ATPase were significantly lower in the confluent phase than in the log phase. For HeLaS-3 cells, an increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity per cell was observed. The amount of microsomal protein per cell did not change between the log and confluent phase. The specific activity of Ca2+-ATPase in the confluent phase was also markedly higher than in the log phase. The relation between changes in ATPase activities and cell proliferation is discussed.  相似文献

The binding of actin to phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The binding of actin to myosin containing phosphorylated and dephosphorylated light chains (LC2) was investigated by studying the influence of actin on Mg2+- and K+-stimulated ATPase of phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin and by comparing the influence of PPi on actomyosin formed from pure actin and phosphorylated or dephosphorylated myosin. The concentration of actin producing inhibition of one half of myosin K+-ATPase activity was 4.1 micro M and 7.7 micro M for phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin, respectively. Actomyosin formed from dephosphorylated myosin dissociated at lower PPi concentration than did that from the phosphorylated form. The extrapolated values of Km obtained from studies of the influence of actin on Mg2+-ATPase activity of dephosphorylated myosin were about twice as high as for the phosphorylated form. Thus, the affinity of phosphorylated myosin for actin was significantly higher under conditions studied.  相似文献

Investigation the influence of calyx[4]arenes C-90, C-91, C-97 and C-99 (codes are indicated) on the enzymatic activity of four functionally different Mg2+ -dependent ATPases from smooth muscle of the uterus: actomyosin ATPase, transporting Ca2+, Mg2+ -ATPase, ouabain-sensible Na+, K+ -ATPase and basal Mg2+ -ATPase. It was shown that calixarenes C-90 and C-91 in concentration 100 microM act multidirectionally on the functionally different Mg2+ -dependent ATP-hydrolase enzymatic systems. These compounds activate effectively the actomyosin ATPase (Ka = 52 +/- 11 microM [Ukrainian character: see text] 8 +/- 2 microM, accordingly), at the same time calixarene C-90 inhibited effectively activity of transporting Ca2+, Mg2+ -ATPase of plasmatic membranes (I(0,5) = 34.6 +/- 6.4 microM), but influence on membrane-bound Na+, K+ -ATPase and basal Mg2+ -ATPase. Calixarene C-91 reduce effectively basal Mg2+ -ATPase activity, insignificantly activating Na+, K+ -ATPase but has no influence on transporting Ca2+, Mg2+ -ATPase activity of plasmatic membranes. Calixarenes C-97 and C-99 (100 microM), which have similar structure, have monodirectional influence on activity of three functionally different Mg2+-dependent ATPases of the myometrium: actomyosin ATPase and two ATPases, that related to the ATP-hydrolases of P-type--Ca2+, Mg2+ -ATPase and Na+, K+ -ATPase of plasmatic membranes. Basal Mg2+ -ATPase is resistant to the action of these two connections. Results of comparative experiments that were obtained by catalytic titration of calixarenes C-97 and C-99 by actomyosin ATPase (I(0,5) = 88 +/- 9 and 86 +/- 8 microM accordingly) and Na+, K+ -ATPase from plasmatic membranes (I(0,5) = 33 +/- 4 and 98 +/- 8 nM accordingly) indicate to the considerably more sensitiveness of Na+, K+ -ATP-ase to these calixarenes than ATPase of contractile proteins. Thus, it is shown that calixarenes have influence on activity of a number of important enzymes, involved in functioning of the smooth muscle of the uterus and related to energy-supplies of the process of the muscle contracting and support of intracellular ionic homeostasis. The obtained results can be useful in further researches, directed at the use of calixarenes as pharmaceutical substance, able to normalize the contractile function of the uterus at some pregnancy pathologies in women's.  相似文献

The effect of phosphorylation in skeletal myosin light chain (LC2) on the actomyosin and acto-heavymeromyosin (HMM) ATPase activities was investigated in the presence or absence of regulatory proteins (tropomyosin-troponin complex). Phosphorylation in LC2 did not modulate the actin-myosin and actin-HMM interactions over a wide range of KCl concentrations from 30 to 150 mM without regulatory proteins. In the presence of regulatory proteins, phosphorylation in myosin LC2 enhanced the ATPase activity of actomyosin with calcium ions, but the removal of calcium ions made little difference in the ATPase activity between phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosins. Ca2+-sensitivity of the regulated actomyosin was slightly changed by phosphorylation in myosin LC2. However, both the ATPase activity and Ca2+-sensitivity of the regulated acto-HMM were unaffected by phosphorylation in HMM LC2.  相似文献
