[Letter: Temperature dependence of myosin fluorescence]. 1975

N V Medvedeva, and E K Ruuge

It was shown that an increase of temperature (from 0 to 37 degrees C) did not affect the maximum position of the myosin fluorescence spectrum and relative contribution of tyrosine to fluorescence intensity. The spectral band width increases to 2-3 nm. The I (t-o) relationship permits us to sugges that the temperature change causes structural changes of myosine molecules.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
