Specificity and orientation of (iodoacetamido)proxyl spin-labeled myosin subfragment 1 decorating muscle fibers: localization of protein-bound spin labels using SDS-PAGE. 1990

The nitroxide spin label (iodoacetamido)proxyl (IPSL) was specifically and rigidly attached to sulfhydryl 1 (SH1) on myosin subfragment 1 (S1). The specificity of this label for SH1 was demonstrated by using a technique where the spin label is localized on the electrophoresis-isolated proteolytic fragments of myosin using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Studies of the rigidity of the probe on SH1 indicate that the IPSL is immobilized on the surface of S1 in the presence and absence of the nucleotides MgADP or MgATP. The EPR spectrum of muscle fibers decorated with IPSL-S1 shows that the IPSL-S1 rotates from its orientation in rigor upon binding MgADP. The angular displacement due to nucleotide binding is larger than that detected with the (maleimido)tempo spin label [Ajtai, K., French, A. R., & Burghardt, T. P. (1989) Biophys. J. 56, 535-541], demonstrating that the IPSL is oriented on the myosin cross-bridge in a manner that is favorable for detecting cross-bridge rotation during the rigor to MgADP state transition.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D015879 Myosin Subfragments Parts of the myosin molecule resulting from cleavage by proteolytic enzymes (PAPAIN; TRYPSIN; or CHYMOTRYPSIN) at well-localized regions. Study of these isolated fragments helps to delineate the functional roles of different parts of myosin. Two of the most common subfragments are myosin S-1 and myosin S-2. S-1 contains the heads of the heavy chains plus the light chains and S-2 contains part of the double-stranded, alpha-helical, heavy chain tail (myosin rod).
