1-5 of the epsilon-amino groups of myosin were trinitrophenylated by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonate. The Mg2+-activated ATPase activity was found to increase twenty fold while the K+-activated ATPase was strongly inhibited as a result of this treatment. Myosin was dissociated by urea after trinitrophenylation and its heavy and light chains were isolated. Virtually all the introduced trinitrophenyl groups were found in the heavy chain indicating that the lysyl residues, the modification of which affects the ATPase activity, are located at the heavy core of the myosin molecule.

Mild pulmonic stenosis was performed in dogs to evaluate the effect of systolic pressures overloading on the activity and subunits of myosin in the early hypertrophied right ventricle. Three weeks following pulmonary constriction, six hypertrophied dogs were sacrificed and compared to six sham-operated dogs which served as controls. In the right ventricular free wall of hypertrophied right ventricles (HRV), the heart/body weight was 46% greater than that of normal right ventricles (NRV) (p less than 0.01). Myosin ATPase activity (Vmax values) in mumoles phosphate/mg/min, was elevated significantly in the stressed ventricle for both K+ and Ca++ activity in hypertrophied right ventricles. Associated with the increase in myosin activity, there was an increase in proportion of heavy to light chains in myosin from HRV. There were approximately 2 moles of myosin light chains per mole of myosin heavy chains in NRV and approximately 1 mole of myosin light chains per mole of myosin heavy chains in HRV. The proportion of light chain C1 to C2, did not change in myosin from NRV and HRV. Of the C1 light chains, according to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, there was less C1d as compared to C1c in HRV as compared to NRV. Thus K+- and Ca++- activated myosin is elevated in early canine HRV by pressure overload. It is suggested taht the augmented myosin activity is due to a reduction of light chain inhibition of myosin ATPase activity, which appears to result from the slower turnover rate of myosin light chains relative to heavy chains. Furthermore, when myosin light chains are added to hypertrophied right ventricular myosin, the ATPase activity is lowered.

Experimentally-induced ischaemia in the dog heart was produced by ligating the left circumflex artery. Myosin B isolated from the ischaemic portion of the myocardium differed from myosin B isolated from control tissue in its diminished response to the calcium chelator ethyleneglycol bis (beta-amino-ethylether)-N, N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). In the presence of EGTA, ischaemic myosin B required 2.5 +/- 0.5 min for completion of superprecipitation, whereas control myosin B required 6.6 +/- 2.5 min. Likewise, the Mg++ -activated ATPase activity of ischaemic myosin B was inhibited by EGTA to a lesser degree than control myosin B. Experiments with reconstituted myosin B using desensitized control myosin B and regulatory proteins suggest that ischaemia induces changes in the regulatory proteins (troponin and tropomyosin).

Oriented immobilized F-actin (IA) threads were prepared by extrusion of the concentrated F-actin solutions through a capillar into an aceton-water mixture containing glutaraldehyde. Myosin ATP-ase activity was activated by IA in the presence of Mg+2 and inhibited in the presence of EDTA. ATPase activity of IA at high temperature (55) was about 0.054 min(-1) and was not affected by a deformation of threads. Mechanical properties of IA threads were changed when treated by reagnets influencing intra- and inter-molecular interactions of actin molecules, and these changes themselves were highly dependent on IA threads deformation.

Myosin has been isolated from the clonal lines of murine neuroblastoma and rat glioma cells. Partial characterization of the two cellular myosins indicates that both possess the following properties: (1) the same elution position as rabbit skeletal muscle myosin by Sepharose 4B chromatography; (2) the presence of heavy (molecular weight about 200,000) and light subunit polypeptides by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; (3) EDTA and Ca2+ activated but Mg2+-inhibited ATPase activity in 0.6 M KCl; and (4) binding to rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin which is inhibited by Mg2+-ATP. For both mouse neuroblastoma and rat glioma cells, approximately 0.5-1.5% of the total cell protein is present as myosin. Cellular myosin appears to be indistinguishable in quantity and biochemical properties regardless of whether it is isolated from monolayer or suspension neuroblastoma cells.

The interaction between paramyosin and myosin has been studied by enzymological methods. Clam adductor paramyosin inhibits the actin-activated, Mg2+-requiring ATPase of both clam adductor and rabbit skeletal muscle myosins. Myosin and paramyosin must be rapidly coprecipitated for this inhibition. Incubation with F-actin in the absence of ATP does not alter this effect. This inhibition follows a hyperbolic function with respect to paramyosin concentration. Slow precipitation by dialysis of myosin and paramyosin together leads to copolymers with actin-activated ATPase equivalent to that of slowly formed myosin filaments. Both kinds of slowly formed filaments have enzymatic properties distinct from those of the rapidly precipitated proteins. Paramyosin is competitive with F-actin for their effects upon myosin. The apparent affinity of myosin for F-actin is markedly reduced by association with paramyosin, but the extrapolated maximal velocity of actomyosin is unaffected. The specificity of this inhibition is strongly suggested by marked quantitative differences between native and cleaved paramyosins. No inhibition of intrinsic myosin ATPase by paramyosin is seen. These studies suggest that at least two types of condition-dependent association between myosin and paramyosin are possible. One class of interactions is associated with enzymic inhibition in rapidly coprecipitated filaments, whereas slowly formed cofilaments exhibit catalytic activity similar to that of identically treat-d myosin and have a characteristic 14.5 nm axial repeat.

Myosin has been purified from the following cultured cell lines: normal rat kidney fibroblast (NRK), HeLa-Rhino (HeLa), human choriocarcinoma, human acute lymphoblastic leukemia, rat hepatoma (HTC), monkey kidney (VERO), pigmented mouse melanoma, Y-1 rat adrenal cortex, and growth hormone-secreting GH-1. Myosin constitutes 0.5-5.4% of the protein of these cells. It was not detected in washed human erythrocytes or in two types of mouse plasmacytoma cells. Two methods for the purification of myosin from cultured cells have been employed. With Method I highly purified myosin was prepared by Sepharose 4B and DEAE-cellulose chromatography from 10(10) L-929 cells as well as from mouse uterus. Those myosins have similar molecular and subunit weights as well as ATPase activity but are immunologically distinct. Method II involving ultracentrifugation and Sepharose 4B chromatography, is suitable for the production of moderately pure myosin in good yield from as few as 5-10(7) cells (five 100-mm Petrie dishes).

Myosin B exhibiting Ca2+ sensitivity in superprecipitation and Mg-ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity was extracted from tracheal smooth muscle. Repeated washing with 2mM KCl and 1 mM NaHCO3 resulted in the loss of these activities. However, on addition of native tropomyosin, the myosin B regained its original properties. Native tropomyosin is the regulatory system in this smooth muscle.

Myosin was extracted from frozen squid brain and purified by a modification of the procedure of Pollard et al. (Pollard, T.D., Thomas, S.M., and Niederman, R. (1974) Anal. Biochem. 60, 258-266). Myosin was eluted from Bio-Gel A-15m column as a single peak of (K+-EDTA)-activated ATPase ((K+-EDTA)-ATPase) activity with an average partition coefficient (Kav) of 0.22. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified myosin showed a predominant band with similar electrophoretic mobility as the heavy chain of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin, and two less intense bands near the bottom of the gel. No actin band was seen. The properties of the (K+-EDTA)-ATPase activity were: (a) the time course of the reaction was biphasic at 25 degrees but linear at 32 degrees; (b) the optimum rate of reaction was obtained between 0.3 and 0.8 M KCl; (c) the pH optimum was between 8.0 and 9.0; (d) the reaction was specific for ATP with an apparent Km of 0.19 mM. ATPase activity in 0.06 M KCl and 5 mM MgCl2 was increased about 1.5 times by a 10-fold excess of rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin and about 5 times by a 40-fold excess. The actin activation was inhibited slightly by the addition of 0.2 mM CaCl2 and completely by the addition of 10 mM CaCl2. Myosin formed arrowhead patterns with rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin as observed by electron microscopy of negatively stained samples. It also aggregated in bipolar filaments which attached to decorated actin filaments at different angles, as well as formed cross-connections and ladder-like patterns between actin filaments. These two forms of interactions between myosin and actin were abolished by treatment with MgATP.

Myosin was isolated in high purity from the bovine adrenal medulla by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The purified myosin was analyzed by electrophoresis in gels containing SDS and found to contain a 200,000 molecular weight heavy chain and major light chains of molecular weights 20,000 and 17,000 in a 1:1:1 molar ratio. At high ionic strength the myosin had high Ca-ATPase and K-EDTA-ATPase activities and low Mg-ATPase activity. At low ionic strength, the Mg-ATPase was activated to a low level by rabbit muscle actin. The myosin was found to decorate F-actin in the absence, but not the presence of ATP. In low ionic strength solutions, the myosin assembled into characteristic bipolar filaments. The distribution of this myosin in the adrenal medulla and of cross-reacting myosin in several other bovine tissues was determined with the use of anti-medullary myosin immunoglobulin G as a specific stain that was detected by direct and indirect immunofluorescence. In the medulla strong staining was seen between the chords of chromaffin cells indicating that presence of a highly muscular vasculature that may perform functions analogous to those of the myoepithelium of exocrine glands. The chromaffin cells showed weak positive staining around the nuclei and in a pattern radiating toward adjacent blood vessels. Cells of the inner zone of the adrenal cortex showed strong staining in the peripheral cytoplasm while cells in the intermediate and outer zones did not stain. In a blood smear, platelets and the cytoplasm of leukocytes stained strongly while erythrocytes did not stain. In striated muscle and the gray and white matter of the cerebrum only the capillaries and larger vessels stained. In the liver the phagocytic cells bordering vascular sinuses staine strongly while the hepatocytes were separated from one another by a 2 micron trilaminar band possibly representing the microfilament web surrounding the bile canaliculi and associated with junctional complexes. The results suggest that myosin is present in several highly differentiated, non-motile tissue cells where it may play a role in secretion or other specialized functions.
