Myosin IIIA is expressed in photoreceptor cells and thought to play a critical role in phototransduction processes, yet its function on a molecular basis is largely unknown. Here we clarified the kinetic mechanism of the ATPase cycle of human myosin IIIA. The steady-state ATPase activity was markedly activated approximately 10-fold with very low actin concentration. The rate of ADP off from actomyosin IIIA was 10 times greater than the overall cycling rate, thus not a rate-determining step. The rate constant of the ATP hydrolysis step of the actin-dissociated form was very slow, but the rate was markedly accelerated by actin binding. The dissociation constant of the ATP-bound form of myosin IIIA from actin is submicromolar, which agrees well with the low K(actin). These results indicate that ATP hydrolysis predominantly takes place in the actin-bound form for actomyosin IIIA ATPase reaction. The obtained K(actin) was much lower than the previously reported one, and we found that the autophosphorylation of myosin IIIA dramatically increased the K(actin), whereas the V(max) was unchanged. Our kinetic model indicates that both the actin-attached hydrolysis and the P(i) release steps determine the overall cycle rate of the dephosphorylated form. Although the stable steady-state intermediates of actomyosin IIIA ATPase reaction are not typical strong actin-binding intermediates, the affinity of the stable intermediates for actin is much higher than conventional weak actin binding forms. The present results suggest that myosin IIIA can spend a majority of its ATP hydrolysis cycling time on actin. 相似文献

Recent theoretical work on the cooperative equilibrium binding of myosin subfragment-1-ADP to regulated actin, as influenced by Ca2+, is extended here to the cooperative steady-state ATPase activity of myosin subfragment-1 on regulated actin. Exact solution of the general steady-state problem will require Monte Carlo calculations. Three interrelated special cases are discussed in some detail and sample computer (not Monte Carlo) solutions are given. The eventual objective is to apply these considerations to in vitro experimental data and to in vivo muscle models. 相似文献

DEAD-box proteins are ATPase enzymes that destabilize and unwind duplex RNA. Quantitative knowledge of the ATPase cycle parameters is critical for developing models of helicase activity. However, limited information regarding the rate and equilibrium constants defining the ATPase cycle of RNA helicases is available, including the distribution of populated biochemical intermediates, the catalytic step(s) that limits the enzymatic reaction cycle, and how ATP utilization and RNA interactions are linked. We present a quantitative kinetic and equilibrium characterization of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-activated ATPase cycle mechanism of DbpA, a DEAD-box rRNA helicase implicated in ribosome biogenesis. rRNA activates the ATPase activity of DbpA by promoting a conformational change after ATP binding that is associated with hydrolysis. Chemical cleavage of bound ATP is reversible and occurs via a γ-phosphate attack mechanism. ADP-Pi and RNA binding display strong thermodynamic coupling, which causes DbpA-ADP-Pi to bind rRNA with > 10-fold higher affinity than with bound ATP, ADP or in the absence of nucleotide. The rRNA-activated steady-state ATPase cycle of DbpA is limited both by ATP hydrolysis and by Pi release, which occur with comparable rates. Consequently, the predominantly populated biochemical states during steady-state cycling are the ATP- and ADP-Pi-bound intermediates. Thermodynamic linkage analysis of the ATPase cycle transitions favors a model in which rRNA duplex destabilization is linked to strong rRNA and nucleotide binding. The presented analysis of the DbpA ATPase cycle reaction mechanism provides a rigorous kinetic and thermodynamic foundation for developing testable hypotheses regarding the functions and molecular mechanisms of DEAD-box helicases. 相似文献

Mutations of myosin VIIA cause deafness in various species from human and mice to Zebrafish and Drosophila. We analyzed the kinetic mechanism of the ATPase cycle of Drosophila myosin VIIA by using a single-headed construct with the entire neck domain. The steady-state ATPase activity (0.06 s(-1)) was markedly activated by actin to yield V(max) and K(ATPase) of 1.72 s(-1) and 3.2 microm, respectively. The most intriguing finding is that the ATP hydrolysis predominantly takes place in the actin-bound form (actin-attached hydrolysis) for the actomyosin VIIA ATPase reaction. The ATP hydrolysis rate was much faster for the actin-attached form than the dissociated form, in contrast to other myosins reported so far. Both the ATP hydrolysis step and the phosphate release step were significantly faster than the entire ATPase cycle rate, thus not rate-determining. The rate of ADP dissociation from actomyosin VIIA was 1.86 s(-1), which was comparable with the overall ATPase cycle rate, thus assigned to be a rate-determining step. The results suggest that Drosophila myosin VIIA spends the majority of the ATPase cycle in an actomyosin.ADP form, a strong actin binding state. The duty ratio calculated from our kinetic model was approximately 0.9. Therefore, myosin VIIA is classified to be a high duty ratio motor. The present results suggested that myosin VIIA can be a processive motor to serve cargo trafficking in cells once it forms a dimer structure. 相似文献

A single cycle of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis by a complex of actin and myosin subfragment one (acto-S-1) was studied in a stopped-flow apparatus at low temperature and low ionic strength, using light scattering to monitor the interaction of S-1 with actin and fluorescence to detect the formation of fluorescent intermediates. Our results show that the addition of a stoichiometric concentration of ATP to the acto-S-1 causes a cycle consisting of first, a rapid dissociation of the S-1 from actin by ATP; second, a slower fluorescence change in the S-1 that may be related to the initial phosphate burst; and third, a much slower rate limiting recombination of the S-1 with actin. This latter step equals the acto-S-1 steady-state adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (ATPase) rate at both low and high actin concentrations, and like the steady-state ATPase levels off at a V max of 0.9s-1 at high actin concentration. Therefore, the release of adenosine 5'-diphosphate and inorganic phosphate is not the rate-limiting step in the acto-S-1 ATPase. Rather, a slow first-order step corresponding to the previously postulated transition from the refractory to the nonrefractory state precedes the rebinding of the S-1 to the actin during each cycle of ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

Calcium activates full-length myosin Va steady-state enzymatic activity and favors the transition from a compact, folded "off" state to an extended "on" state. However, little is known of how a head-tail interaction alters the individual actin and nucleotide binding rate and equilibrium constants of the ATPase cycle. We measured the effect of calcium on nucleotide and actin filament binding to full-length myosin Va purified from chick brains. Both heads of nucleotide-free myosin Va bind actin strongly, independent of calcium. In the absence of calcium, bound ADP weakens the affinity of one head for actin filaments at equilibrium and upon initial encounter. The addition of calcium allows both heads of myosin Va.ADP to bind actin strongly. Calcium accelerates ADP binding to actomyosin independent of the tail but minimally affects ATP binding. Although 18O exchange and product release measurements favor a mechanism in which actin-activated Pi release from myosin Va is very rapid, independent of calcium and the tail domain, both heads do not bind actin strongly during steady-state cycling, as assayed by pyrene actin fluorescence. In the absence of calcium, inclusion of ADP favors formation of a long lived myosin Va.ADP state that releases ADP slowly, even after mixing with actin. Our results suggest that calcium activates myosin Va by allowing both heads to interact with actin and exchange bound nucleotide and indicate that regulation of actin binding by the tail is a nucleotide-dependent process favored by linked conformational changes of the motor domain. 相似文献

Mechanism of actomyosin adenosine triphosphatase. Evidence that adenosine 5'-triphosphate hydrolysis can occur without dissociation of the actomyosin complex. 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
We have investigated the steps in the actomyosin ATPase cycle that determine the maximum ATPase rate (Vmax) and the binding between myosin subfragment one (S-1) and actin which occurs when the ATPase activity is close to Vmax. We find that the forward rate constant of the initial ATP hydrolysis (initial Pi burst) is about 5 times faster than the maximum turnover rate of the actin S-1 ATPase. Thus, another step in the cycle must be considerably slower than the forward rate of the initial Pi burst. If this slower step occurs only when S-1 is complexed with actin, as originally predicted by the Lymn-Taylor model, the ATPase activity and the fraction of S-1 bound to actin in the steady state should increase almost in parallel as the actin concentration is increased. As measured by turbidity determined in the stopped-flow apparatus, the fraction of S-1 bound to actin, like the ATPase activity, shows a hyperbolic dependence on actin concentration, approaching 100% asymptotically. However, the actin concentration required so that 50% of the S-1 is bound to actin is about 4 times greater than the actin concentration required for half-maximal ATPase activity. Thus, as previously found at 0 degrees C, at 15 degrees C much of the S-1 is dissociated from actin when the ATPase is close to Vmax, showing that a slow first-order transition which follows the initial Pi burst (the transition from the refractory to the nonrefractory state) must be the slowest step in the ATPase cycle. Stopped-flow studies also reveal that the steady-state turbidity level is reached almost instantaneously after the S-1, actin, and ATP are mixed, regardless of the order of mixing. Thus, the binding between S-1 and actin which is observed in the steady state is due to a rapid equilibrium between S-1--ATP and acto--S-1--ATP which is shifted toward acto-S-1--ATP at high actin concentration. Furthermore, both S-1--ATP and S-1--ADP.Pi (the state occurring immediately after the initial Pi burst) appear to have the same binding constant to actin. Thus, at high actin concentration both S-1--ATP and S-1--ADP.Pi are in rapid equilibrium with their respective actin complexes. Although at very high actin concentration almost complete binding of S-1--ATP and S-1--ADP.Pi to actin occurs, there is no inhibition of the ATPase activity at high actin concentration. This strongly suggests that both the initial Pi burst and the slow rate-limiting transition which follows (the transition from the refractory to the nonrefractory state) occur at about the same rates whether the S-1 is bound to or dissociated from actin. We, therefore, conclude that S-1 does not have to dissociate from actin each time an ATP molecule is hydrolyzed. 相似文献

Kinetic adaptation of muscle and non-muscle myosins plays a central role in defining the unique cellular functions of these molecular motor enzymes. The unconventional vertebrate class VII myosin, myosin VIIb, is highly expressed in polarized cells and localizes to highly ordered actin filament bundles such as those found in the microvilli of the intestinal brush border and kidney. We have cloned mouse myosin VIIb from a cDNA library, expressed and purified the catalytic motor domain, and characterized its actin-activated ATPase cycle using quantitative equilibrium and kinetic methods. The myosin VIIb steady-state ATPase activity is slow (approximately 1 s(-1)), activated by very low actin filament concentrations (K(ATPase) approximately 0.7 microm), and limited by ADP release from actomyosin. The slow ADP dissociation rate constant generates a long lifetime of the strong binding actomyosin.ADP states. ADP and actin binding is uncoupled, which enables myosin VIIb to remain strongly bound to actin and ADP at very low actin concentrations. In the presence of 2 mm ATP and 2 microm actin, the duty ratio of myosin VIIb is approximately 0.8. The enzymatic properties of actomyosin VIIb are suited for generating and maintaining tension and favor a role for myosin VIIb in anchoring membrane surface receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Given the high conservation of vertebrate class VII myosins, deafness phenotypes arising from disruption of normal myosin VIIa function are likely to reflect a loss of tension in the stereocilia of inner ear hair cells. 相似文献

We present a mathematical model of membrane polarization in growth cones. We proceed by coupling an active transport model of cytosolic proteins along a two-dimensional microtubule (MT) network with a modified Dogterom-Leibler model of MT growth. In particular, we consider a Rac1-stathmin-MT pathway in which the growth and catastrophe rates of MTs are regulated by cytosolic stathmin, while the stathmin is regulated by Rac1 at the membrane. We use regular perturbation theory and numerical simulations to determine the steady-state stathmin concentration, the mean MT length distribution, and the resulting distribution of membrane-bound proteins. We thus show how a nonuniform Rac1 distribution on the membrane generates a polarized distribution of membrane proteins. The mean MT length distribution and hence the degree of membrane polarization are sensitive to the precise form of the Rac1 distribution and parameters such as the catastrophe-promoting constant and tubulin association rate. This is a consequence of the fact that the lateral diffusion of stathmin tends to weaken the effects of Rac1 on the distribution of mean MT lengths. 相似文献

We have previously shown that myosin does not have to detach from actin during each cycle of ATP hydrolysis. In the present study, using the A-1 isoenzyme of myosin subfragment 1, we have investigated the nature of the rate-limiting steps in the ATPase cycle. Our results show that, at 15 degrees C, at very low ionic strength, KATPase determined from the double-reciprocal plot of ATPase activity vs. actin concentration is more than 6-fold stronger than KBINDING determined by directly measuring the binding of A-1 myosin subfragment 1 to actin during steady-state ATP hydrolysis. Computer modeling shows that this large difference between KATPase and KBINDING is not compatible with Pi release being the rate-limiting step in the ATPase cycle. If Pi release is not rate limiting, it is possible that the ATP hydrolysis step, itself, is rate limiting. However, this predicts that, at high actin concentration, the value of the initial Pi burst should be close to zero. Therefore, we measured the magnitude of the initial Pi burst in the presence of actin, using both direct measurement and measurement of relative fluorescence magnitude. Our results suggest that the magnitude of the initial Pi burst in the presence of actin is considerably higher than would be expected if the ATP hydrolysis step were the rate-limiting step in the ATPase cycle.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The mean lengths of G1, S, G2 and M phases of the cell cycle were determined on the basis of the population distribution ofCandida utilis grown in a continuous culture under steady-state conditions by using an original mathematical method. The length of the G2
phase was proportional to that of G1; the length of M was effectively independent of the growth rate. The length of S was
proportional to the mean number of mitochondria in the cell. 相似文献

During actin polymerization, it has been theorized that the actin filament length distribution initially grows in the form of a Gaussian before converting to produce that of an exponential. However, it has been difficult to demonstrate this experimentally. In this study, we use modern fluorescence microscopy techniques to observe the changing actin filament length distribution during and subsequent to the polymerization process. Nucleated actin filament growth using barbed end capping proteins (gelsolin and erythrocyte capping protein) leads to Gaussian length distributions that are relatively stable. As predicted, nucleated actin filament growth using actin/spectrin complexes follows a similar process until polymerization reaches equilibrium whereafter the Gaussian length distribution rapidly converts to that of an exponential. This study provides direct confirmation of the original theories for the mode of actin polymerization but raises doubts regarding the mechanism of the length distribution conversion from Gaussian to exponential. 相似文献

F-actin monomer (F-monomer) is formed upon the addition of neutral salt to G-actin. Since F-monomer has a digestibility similar to that of F-actin and much lower than that of G-actin, it has been proposed that F-monomer has a conformation different from that of G-actin and similar to the conformation of the subunits in F-actin. To examine whether F-monomer will enhance the magnesium-activated myosin adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase) as much as F-actin, the ability of partially polymerized actin populations at equilibrium to activate the Mg2+-ATPase of heavy meromyosin was investigated. Correlations were made between ATPase activities and the polymerization state of actin as determined by measurements of viscosity and digestibility. No significant activation of the heavy meromyosin ATPase was observed under conditions where G-actin or mixtures of G-actin and F-monomer were present. As polymer formation occurred at higher actin concentrations, or with increased KCl concentrations, substantial activation characteristic of F-actin was observed. The data suggest that F-monomer may undergo a further conformational change as it forms nuclei or joins onto polymers. Alternatively, the site of actin which activates the myosin ATPase may involve the crevice between two adjacent actin subunits. 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

The Mg2+-dependent ATPase (adenosine 5'-triphosphatase) mechanism of myosin and subfragment 1 prepared from frog leg muscle was investigated by transient kinetic technique. The results show that in general terms the mechanism is similar to that of the rabbit skeletal-muscle myosin ATPase. During subfragment-1 ATPase activity at 0-5 degrees C pH 7.0 and I0.15, the predominant component of the steady-state intermediate is a subfragment-1-products complex (E.ADP.Pi). Binary subfragment-1-ATP (E.ATP) and subfragment-1-ADP (E.ADP) complexes are the other main components of the steady-state intermediate, the relative concentrations of the three components E.ATP, E.ADP.Pi and E.ADP being 5.5:92.5:2.0 respectively. The frog myosin ATPase mechanism is distinguished from that of the rabbit at 0-5 degrees C by the low steady-state concentrations of E.ATP and E.ADP relative to that of E.ADP.Pi and can be described by: E + ATP k' + 1 in equilibrium k' - 1 E.ATP k' + 2 in equilibrium k' - 2 E.ADP.Pi k' + 3 in equilibrium k' - 3 E.ADP + Pi k' + 4 in equilibrium k' - 4 E + ADP. In the above conditions successive forward rate constants have values: k' + 1, 1.1 X 10(5)M-1.S-1; k' + 2 greater than 5s-1; k' + 3, 0.011 s-1; k' + 4, 0.5 s-1; k'-1 is probably less than 0.006s-1. The observed second-order rate constants of the association of actin to subfragment 1 and of ATP-induced dissociation of the actin-subfragment-1 complex are 5.5 X 10(4) M-1.S-1 and 7.4 X 10(5) M-1.S-1 respectively at 2-5 degrees C and pH 7.0. The physiological implications of these results are discussed. 相似文献

A conventional five-step chemo-mechanical cycle of the myosin–actin ATPase reaction, which implies myosin detachment from actin upon release of hydrolysis products (ADP and phosphate, Pi) and binding of a new ATP molecule, is able to fit the [Pi] dependence of the force and number of myosin motors during isometric contraction of skeletal muscle. However, this scheme is not able to explain why the isometric ATPase rate of fast skeletal muscle is decreased by an increase in [Pi] much less than the number of motors. The question can be solved assuming the presence of a branch in the cycle: in isometric contraction, when the force generation process by the myosin motor is biased at the start of the working stroke, the motor can detach at an early stage of the ATPase cycle, with Pi still bound to its catalytic site, and then rapidly release the hydrolysis products and bind another ATP. In this way, the model predicts that in fast skeletal muscle the energetic cost of isometric contraction increases with [Pi]. The large dissociation constant of the product release in the branched pathway allows the isometric myosin–actin reaction to fit the equilibrium constant of the ATPase. 相似文献

A novel mathematical model of the actin dynamics in living cells under steady-state conditions has been developed for fluorescence
recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments. As opposed to other FRAP fitting models, which use the average lifetime
of actins in filaments and the actin turnover rate as fitting parameters, our model operates with unbiased actin association/dissociation
rate constants and accounts for the filament length. The mathematical formalism is based on a system of stochastic differential
equations. The derived equations were validated on synthetic theoretical data generated by a stochastic simulation algorithm
adapted for the simulation of FRAP experiments. Consistent with experimental findings, the results of this work showed that
(1) fluorescence recovery is a function of the average filament length, (2) the F-actin turnover and the FRAP are accelerated
in the presence of actin nucleating proteins, (3) the FRAP curves may exhibit both a linear and non-linear behaviour depending
on the parameters of actin polymerisation, and (4) our model resulted in more accurate parameter estimations of actin dynamics
as compared with other FRAP fitting models. Additionally, we provide a computational tool that integrates the model and that
can be used for interpretation of FRAP data on actin cytoskeleton. 相似文献

A mathematical model of control of energy transformation in mitochondria is presented. The considered processes are: the proton translocation by the respiratory chain, the production of ATP by ATPase, the translocation of adenine nucleotides and of phosphate by their translocators, and a passive backflow of protons through the mitochondrial membrane. The mathematical equations expressing the steady-state kinetics of these processes and the relations between them were derived on the basis of current experimental data. The model predicts fairly well the values of the proton electrochemical gradient, of the ATP/ADP ratios within and outside mitochondria and of the distribution of phosphate between both compartments in different metabolic states of mitochondria. From the general agreement of model computations with experimental data, it is suggested that the electron flux through the respiratory chain is immediately controlled by the energy back-pressure of the proton electrochemical gradient, that the ATPase reaction is near equilibrium in phosphorylating mitochondria but that the adenine nucleotide exchange across the mitochondrial membrane requires some loss of energy. The latter is caused by an inhibition of the translocator by ATP from the outer side or by ADP from the inner side depending on the actual ATP/ADP in both compartments. It explains that no fixed relation exists between the rate of respiration and the phosphorylation state of extramitochondrial adenine nucleotides. The relation is modified by the concentration of phosphate and by intramitochondrial energy utilization. 相似文献

Myosin X is expressed in a variety of cell types and plays a role in cargo movement and filopodia extension, but its mechanoenzymatic characteristics are not fully understood. Here we analyzed the kinetic mechanism of the ATP hydrolysis cycle of acto-myosin X using a single-headed construct (M10IQ1). Myosin X was unique for the weak "strong actin binding state" (AMD) with a K(d) of 1.6 microm attributed to the large dissociation rate constant (2.1 s(-1)). V(max) and K(ATPase) of the actin-activated ATPase activity of M10IQ1 were 13.5 s(-1) and 17.4 mum, respectively. The ATP hydrolysis rate (>100 s(-1)) and the phosphate release rate from acto-myosin X (>100 s(-1)) were much faster than the entire ATPase cycle rate and, thus, not rate-limiting. The ADP off-rate from acto-myosin X was 23 s(-1), which was two times larger than the V(max). The P(i)-burst size was low (0.46 mol/mol), indicating that the equilibrium is significantly shifted toward the prehydrolysis intermediate. The steady-state ATPase rate can be explained by a combination of the unfavorable equilibrium constant of the hydrolysis step and the relatively slow ADP off-rate. The duty ratio calculated from our kinetic model, 0.6, was consistent with the duty ratio, 0.7, obtained from comparison of K(m ATPase) and K(m motility). Our results suggest that myosin X is a high duty ratio motor. 相似文献
