Purified rat muscle AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.6) binds tightly to rat myosin. The binding is abolished in the presence of low concentrations of various ligands. Pyrophosphate and GTP at concentrations as low as 0.1 micrometer were effective in abolishing the interaction between two proteins. Other nucleoside triphosphates were less effective than GTP and the concentrations required for 50% inhibition were approximately 0.3 to 0.7 micrometer. ADP and AMP are effective in inhibiting the interaction between two proteins, but they are less effective than the nucleoside triphosphates; 50% inhibition occurred at 34 micrometer with ADP and at 1 mM with AMP. Creatine phosphate and inorganic phosphate showed 50% inhibition at 5 to 6 mM. All of the compounds, which affected AMP deaminase activity, were effective in abolishing the interaction of the enzyme with myosin; however, the interaction-abolishing effects of the compounds are not parallel with their inhibitory effects on the deaminase activity. Although there exist three parental isozymes of AMP deaminase in the rat, all three enzymes interacted with myosin.

The problems of whether the kinetic and regulatory properties of AMP deaminase were modified by formation of a deaminase-myosin complex were investigated with an enzyme preparation from rat skeletal muscle. Results showed that AMP deaminase was activated by binding to myosin. Myosin-bound AMP deaminase showed a sigmoidal activity curve with respect to AMP concentration in the absence of ATP and ADP, but a hyperbolic curve in their presence. Addition of ATP and ADP doubled the V value, but did not affect the Km value. Myosin-bound AMP deaminase also gave a sigmoidal curve in the presence of alkali metal ions, whereas free AMP deaminase gave a hyperbolic curve. GTP abolished the activating effects of both myosin and ATP.

Kinetic studies with adenylate deaminase have been performed by stopped flow methods at 20 degrees C in 0.01 M imidazole/HCl, pH 6.5. The data were analyzed using either the whole time course of the reaction or the initial portion of the full time course. At low KCl concentrations, activation by the product IMP complicates any interpretation. In the presence of 0.15 M KCl, the results are interpreted in terms of three types of purine nucleotide binding sites: an active site, an inhibitory site which appears to be relatively specific for nucleoside triphosphates, and an activating site which shows relatively little specificity for nucleoside phosphates. Nucleotide binding to the activating site weakens binding to the inhibitory site. Sigmoidal kinetic data observed as a function of AMP in the presence of the inhibitor GTP are interpreted in terms of AMP binding to the activating site and weakening GTP binding. A fragment of myosin, subfragement-2, which has previously been shown to form a tight complex with adenylate deaminase (Ashby, B., and Frieden, C. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 1869--1875) activates the deaminase reaction only slightly. Complex formation, however, makes the reaction less susceptible to inhibition by GTP, although high levels of this nucleotide will disrupt the complex. In the presence of GTP or GTP plus subfragment-2, hysteretic effects are observed.

Thick filaments in vertebrate striated muscles are composed of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chains (MLCs) plus at least eight other proteins: C-protein, 86kD protein (birds) or H-protein (mammals), M-protein, myomesin, titin, MM-creatine kinase, skelemin, and AMP-deaminase. Except for CPK and AMP deaminase, none have well defined functions. Analysis of cDNA clones encoding chicken C-protein and 86kD protein has revealed a high degree of shared amino acid identity, particularly in the C-terminal 40kD. To identify functionally significant regions, the human counterpart of each protein was cloned, sequenced and analysed. Two human C-protein cDNAs were isolated with significant homology to chicken fast C-protein. Clone H75, with 69% identity to chicken fast C-protein, shows the same pattern of hybridization as the chicken fast C-protein in chicken muscles. The other clone, H8 with 60% identity, shows a pattern of hybridization in chicken muscles which is consistent with the expression of chicken slow C-protein. The human 86kD protein shares 66% DNA sequence identity with the chicken 86kD protein. Assuming that essential sequences would be conserved during evolution, we compared the chicken and human proteins using PALIGN. Chicken and human fast C-proteins possess 66% peptide identity over their deduced length plus 10% conservative substitutions. Human slow C-protein and chicken fast C-protein share 44% peptide sequence identity, plus 16% conservative substitutions. Chicken and human 86kD proteins are also very similar: 54% peptide identity plus 20% conservative substitutions. This high degree of sequence identity between chicken and human C- and 86kD proteins suggests selective pressure on the primary sequence. Recent primary sequence analyses of projectin and mini-titins from Drosophila, twitchin from C. elegans, C-protein, smMLCK, 86kD protein, and M-protein from the chicken, titin from the rabbit, and skelemin from the mouse reveals that all these proteins possess multiple internal repeats of approximately 100 amino acids. These repeating domains are of two types: one is homologous to the internal repeats which define the C-2 subset of the immunoglobulin superfamily, the other is related to the fibronectin type III repeat. Both human C-proteins possess comparable internal repeats and preliminary evidence suggests the presence of the same repeats in human 86kD. This duality of repeat structure is found in many extracellular proteins and is typified by the N-CAMs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

We have identified and isolated two new calcium-activated neutral hydrolases from human ventricular muscles. The one is an esterase, of which molecular weight was 300,000, required millimolar concentration of Ca2+, hydrolyzed Ac-Tyr-OEt X H2O, optiaml pH at 7.0. The other is an amidase, of which molecular weight was 70,000, also required millimolar concentration of Ca2+, hydrolyzed a synthetic substrate for chymotrypsin, Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-MCA, with optimal pH at 7.2. Both enzymes did not degrade casein or contractile proteins (myosin, actin, troponin and tropomyosin). Their activities were not inhibited by exogenous protease inhibitors, leupeptin, antipain, monoiodoacetic acid and chymostatin, while the amidase activity was blocked by the endogenous inhibitor against calcium-activated neutral protease (CANP). Thus, their characters are different from chymotrypsin or CANP and they seems to be new hydrolases in the human heart.

The interaction of rabbit skeletal muscle adenylate deaminase with myosin fragments (heavy meromyosin and subfragment-2) has been studied by analytical centrifugation, gel chromatography, and stopped flow light scattering. Formation of the complex is highly cooperative with respect to addition of two molecules of adenylate deaminase/molecule of myosin fragment to form a ternary complex. Ternary complex formation is also highly pH-dependent with less complex formed at higher pH values, and the pH dependence is steeper with heavy meromyosin than with subfragment-2. At pH 6.5, the dissociation constant for the heavy meromyosin-deaminase complex is approximately 1.2 X 10(-15) M2. Over the pH range 6.5-7.0, rate constants for the formation and dissociation of both the ternary and binary complexes of adenylate deaminase with heavy meromyosin have been determined. From analysis of the time course of stopped flow light scattering, the association steps are found to be extremely rapid, while the rate constant for dissociation of the first molecule of adenylate deaminase from the ternary complex is quite slow. This rate constant increases as the pH increased, but is sufficiently low that the interacting system does not equilibrate on the time scale of mass transport experiments (sedimentation velocity and gel chromatography), and thus displays apparent "slow" behavior. The kinetic regulatory properties of adenylate deaminase are influenced by heavy meromyosin and subfragment-2, particularly with respect to inhibition by GTP. The association and dissociation of adenylate deaminase and myosin fragments and the resultant changes in kinetic properties of the adenylate deaminase can markedly alter the time course of the enzymatic reaction. The time scale over which this interaction is modulated by changes in pH may have significance in the metabolism of exercising muscle.

AMP deaminase (adenylate deaminase; AMP aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.6), a large flat tetrameric enzyme found in skeletal muscle, binds strongly and specifically to the subfragment-2 region of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin. This allows its use as a structural probe in myosin and myosin rod aggregation studies. When mixed with a preparation of isolated native thick filaments, AMP deaminase decorates the entire filament backbone except for the central bare zone. Binding is particularly ordered in the banded region, where 11 stripes of about 43-nm spacing on either side of the bare zone have been observed in studies of isolated A-bands. No systematic absence of deaminase is seen here, indicating that the presence of the C-protein and H-protein bands does not make the binding site inaccessible to the tetramer. Optical diffraction patterns of the decorated filaments show the expected 42.9-nm periodicities and a reflection indexing at 28.6 nm. Because of the bulkiness of the tetramer relative to the number of available binding sites at each 14.3-nm interval along the filament shaft, the helix net is being sampled at a lower frequency than is the underlying myosin organization. As a result, reflections on layer lines other than orders of 42.9 nm are also observed (e.g., 57.2); these reflections strongly indicate a structure based on a 12/1 primitive helix. The results appear to eliminate the symmetric double two-fold and three-fold models of thick filament structure but are consistent with an asymmetric four-fold structure.

Muscle actin is, in most cases, prepared from an acetone-dried powder of the myosin-removed myofibrils under low-salt conditions in the presence of ATP. In this paper, it is shown that G-actin can be directly extracted from the myosin-removed myofibrils without acetone treatment. The extraction conditions are the same as those used for the extraction of G-actin from the dried powder: extraction of the myosin-removed myofibrils for 1 h with 2 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, in the presence of 0.5 mM ATP. However, the crude G-actin directly extracted from the myosin-removed myofibrils loses its polymerizability after prolonged extraction. Measurements of inorganic phosphate and thin layer chromatography of the adenine nucleotides of the crude G-actin solution show that free ATP added to the extraction buffer is sequentially hydrolyzed to ADP and AMP, and then finally converted to IMP. The instability of the G-(ADP)-actin, depolymerized from the ends of actin filaments, explains the loss in polymerizability of G-actin during the extraction. Residual ATPase, adenylate kinase, and deaminase contained in the myofibrils may account for the decomposition of ATP.

In solutions of high ionic strength, native titin-2, a large extractable fragment of the sarcomere matrix protein titin, appears as extremely long, flexible, and slender beaded strings. We report here that in solutions of lower ionic strength near neutral pH, titin-2 assembles into higher-order aggregates with surface projections. Solid phase binding assays show that two myosin-binding proteins, C-protein and AMP-deaminase, are also titin-binding proteins. Both proteins decorate titin aggregates, producing filaments of more uniform appearance. Numerical Fourier transforms of these decorated aggregates show approximately 12-nm periodicities. The interaction of titin with myosin-associated proteins such as C-protein may take part in the anchoring mechanism that prevents the stretching and extension of titin filaments in the A band.

A simple solid-phase binding assay was used to screen for interactions that the giant myofibrillar protein titin makes with other sarcomeric proteins. The titin used in the tests was purified by a modified procedure that results in isolation of approximately 20 mg relatively undegraded protein in < 24 h. In addition to the approximately 3 MDa polypeptide, bands at approximately 160 kDa and approximately 100 kDa were also consistently seen on gels. Binding of titin to myosin, C-protein, X-protein and AMP-deaminase was observed. The interaction with myosin appears to be with the light meromyosin part of the molecule.
