We have used a fluorescent analogue of ATP, mantATP [2'(3')-O-(N-methylanthraniloyl)-adenosine 5'-triphosphate; Hiratsuka T. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 742, 496-508], and made a detailed kinetic study of the interaction of mantATP and mantADP with S1 and acto-S1. We have shown that these analogues behave like ATP and ADP, respectively. In addition, we have demonstrated that this analogue can distinguish between two acto-S1 complexes, the A-M.N (attached) and A.M.N (rigor-like) states [Geeves, M. A., Good, R. S., & Gutfreund, H. (1984) J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 5, 351-361]. Previously, these two states were observed with a pyrene label on Cys 374 of actin. This isomerization can now be monitored at two spatially distinct sites on the ternary complex, indicative of a major conformational change in the ternary complex. Also, we have measured the rate of ADP dissociation from both A-M.N and A.M.N directly and shown these to differ by a factor of 1000. Thus the results presented here support the model of Geeves et al. and are consistent with the A-M.N to A.M.N transition being coupled to the force-generating event of the crossbridge cycle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

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.
