Akazara scallop myosins hybridized with DTNB-light chains of skeletal myosin and with regulatory light chains of gizzard myosin. 1983

T Ojima, and K Nishita, and S Watanabe

Two different hybrid myosins were obtained by combining "desensitized" myosin (DM) of Akazara scallop striated adductor with rabbit skeletal DTNB-light chains (DTNB-LC) and with chicken gizzard regulatory light chains (GR-LC). Using the two hybrid myosins, the following were found: (a) DTNB-LC has an inhibitory effect on the Mg-ATPase activities of Akazara DM and acto-DM both in the absence of calcium and in its presence. (b) DTNB-LC also has an enhancing effect on the superprecipitation activity of acto-DM. (c) The Mg-ATPase activities of DM and acto-DM are made sensitive to calcium by GR-LC, regardless of whether GR-LC is phosphorylated or unphosphorylated. (d) However, the Mg-ATPase activity of acto-myosin hybridized with phosphorylated GR-LC is definitely higher than that of acto-myosin hybridized with unphosphorylated GR-LC.

D008974	Mollusca	A phylum of the kingdom Metazoa. Mollusca have soft, unsegmented bodies with an anterior head, a dorsal visceral mass, and a ventral foot. Most are encased in a protective calcareous shell. It includes the classes GASTROPODA; BIVALVIA; CEPHALOPODA; Aplacophora; Scaphopoda; Polyplacophora; and Monoplacophora.

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.

D004228	Dithionitrobenzoic Acid	A standard reagent for the determination of reactive sulfhydryl groups by absorbance measurements. It is used primarily for the determination of sulfhydryl and disulfide groups in proteins. The color produced is due to the formation of a thio anion, 3-carboxyl-4-nitrothiophenolate.	5,5'-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic Acid),DTNB,Ellman's Reagent,5,5'-Dithiobis(nitrobenzoate),Acid, Dithionitrobenzoic,Ellman Reagent,Ellmans Reagent,Reagent, Ellman's

D000251	Adenosine Triphosphatases	A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.

D017301	Ca(2+) Mg(2+)-ATPase	An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP and is activated by millimolar concentrations of either Ca(2+) or Mg(2+). Unlike CA(2+)-TRANSPORTING ATPASE it does not require the second divalent cation for its activity, and is not sensitive to orthovanadate. (Prog Biophys Mol Biol 1988;52(1):1).
