Abstract:SYNOPSIS. Ultracentrifugal and electrophoretic experiments arereported on the subunit composition of myosin from skeletalmuscle of a benthic fish, Coryphaenoides species. Coryphaenoidesmyosin undergoes extensive association in concentrated KGI solutionsat neutral pH, but sedimentation equilibrium experiments indicatethe presence of a small fraction (3%) of monomeric myosin withmolecular weight approximately 440,000. At pH 11, some of theaggregated myosin is dissociated, and monomeric myosin is itselfdissociated into a heavy component (410,000 mol wt) and a lightcomponent (14,000 mol wt) that comprises 5–7% of the protein.The lialkali component of Coryphaenoides myosin yields a singlepredominant band on cellulose acetate electrophoresis and SDS-ureaelectrophoresis in 9% acrylamide gel. The stoichiometric evidenceindicates that Coryphaenoides myosin contains two heavy chains(205,000 mol wt) and two light chains (14,000 mol wt) that areequivalent with respect to net electrostatic charge and molecularweight. Preparations of myosin obtained by direct extractionfrom muscle mince and by dissociation of actomyosin extractedfrom muscle mince also contain 5% of a 47,000 mol wt componentpresumably actin), traces of 34–36,000 mol wt component,and about 5.7% of low molecular weight material (10,000–15,000)that probably represents contaminant protein, although the possibilityof denatured nivosin subunits cannot be excluded.
