The actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of myosin II from Acanthamoeba castellanii is regulated by phosphorylation of 3 serines in its 29-residue, nonhelical, COOH-terminal tailpiece, i.e., serines-1489, -1494, and -1499 or, in reverse order, residues 11, 16, and 21 from the COOH terminus. To investigate the essential requirements for regulation, myosin II filaments in the presence of F-actin were digested by arginine-specific submaxillary gland protease. Two-dimensional peptide mapping of purified, cleaved myosin II showed that the two most terminal phosphorylation sites, serines-1494 and -1499, had been removed. Cleaved dephosphorylated myosin II retained full actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity (with no change in Vmax or Kapp) and the ability to form filaments similar to those of the native enzyme. However, higher Mg2+ concentrations were required for both filament formation and maximal ATPase activity. The one remaining regulatory serine in the cleaved myosin II was phosphorylatable by myosin II heavy-chain kinase, and phosphorylation inactivated the actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity, as in the case of the native myosin II. Also as in the case of the native myosin II, phosphorylated cleaved myosin II inhibited the actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of dephosphorylated cleaved myosin II when the two were copolymerized. These results suggest that at least 18 of the 29 residues in the nonhelical tailpiece of the heavy chain are not required for either actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity or filament formation and that phosphorylation of Ser-1489 is sufficient to regulate the actin-activated Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of myosin II.

We have investigated various structural and interaction properties of maleimidobenzoyl-G-actin (MBS-actin), a new, internally cross-linked G-actin derivative that does not exhibit, at moderate protein concentration, the salt--and myosin subfragment 1 (S-1)-induced polymerizations of G-actin and reacts reversibly and covalently in solution with S-1 at or near the F-actin binding region of the heavy chain (Bettache, N., Bertrand, R., & Kassab, R. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 6028-6032). The far-ultraviolet CD spectrum and alpha-helix content of the MBS-actin were identical with those displayed by native G-actin. 45Ca2+ measurements showed the same content of tightly bound Ca2+ in MBS-actin as in G-actin and the EDTA treatment of the modified protein promoted the same red shift of the intrinsic fluorescence spectrum as observed with native G-actin. Incubation of concentrated MBS-actin solutions with 100 mM KCl + 5 mM MgCl2 led to the polymerization of the actin derivative when the critical monomer concentration reached 1.6 mg/mL, at 25 degrees C, pH 8.0. The MBS-F-actin formed activated the Mg2(+)-ATPase of S-1 to the same extent as native F-actin. The MBS-G-actin exhibited a DNase I inhibitor activity very close to that found with native G-actin and was not to be at all affected by its specific covalent conjugation to S-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The bifunctional photoreactive ATP analogue azidonitrobenzoyl-8-azido-ATP (ANB-8-N3-ATP) was synthesized. This ATP analogue carriers photoreactive azido groups at the eighth position of the adenine ring and at the 3' position of ribose. Photolysis of this analogue in the presence of skeletal muscle alpha-chymotryptic subfragment 1 (S-1) resulted in a new 120-kDa band, while photolysis in the presence of the tryptic S-1 produced a new 45-kDa band. The 45-kDa peptide was shown to be combined with the 25-kDa N-terminal and 20-kDa C-terminal fragments since it was labeled with a monoclonal antibody specific for the N-terminal 25-kDa segment of the S-1 heavy chain, and it was also found to retain the fluorescence of (iodoacetamido)fluorescein attached specifically to the SH-1 thiol of the C-terminal 20-kDa segment. These results indicate that the 25- and 20-kDa peptides are in close contact with the ATPase active site.

The cross-linking of the F-actin-caldesmon complex with 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide in the presence of N-hydroxysuccinimide generated four major adducts which were identified on polyacrylamide gels. By cross-linking 3H-actin to 14C-caldesmon, these were found to represent 1:1 cross-linked complexes of actin and caldesmon displaying different electrophoretic mobilities. Tropomyosin did not noticeably affect the cross-linking process. The same four fluorescent species resulting from the cross-linking of caldesmon to F-actin labeled with N-[7-(dimethylamino)-4-methyl-3-coumarinyl]maleimide were subjected separately to partial cleavages with hydroxylamine or cyanogen bromide. These treatments yielded fluorescent 41- and 37-kDa fragments, respectively, from each cross-linked entity indicating unambiguously that caldesmon was cross-linked only to the NH2-terminal actin stretch of residues 1-12. This region is also known to serve for the carbodiimide-mediated cross-linking of the myosin subfragment-1 heavy chain (Sutoh, K. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 3654-3661). A covalent caldesmon-F-actin conjugate containing a protein molar ratio close to 1:19 was isolated following dissociation of uncross-linked caldesmon. It showed a low level of activation of the ATPase activity of skeletal myosin subfragment-1, and the binding of Ca2(+)-calmodulin to the derivative did not cause the reversal of the ATPase inhibition. In contrast, the reversible binding of caldesmon to F-actin cross-linked to myosin subfragment-1 did not inhibit the accelerated ATPase of the complex. The overall data point to the dual involvement of the actin's NH2 terminus in the inhibitory binding of caldesmon and in actomyosin interactions in the presence of ATP.

Bovine platelet myosin is phosphorylated by protein kinase C at multiple sites. Most of the phosphate is incorporated in the 20,000-dalton light chain although some phosphate is incorporated in the heavy chain. Phosphorylation of the 20,000-dalton light chain of platelet myosin is 10 times faster than the phosphorylation of smooth muscle myosin. Platelet myosin light chain is first phosphorylated at a threonine residue followed by a serine residue. Dominant phosphorylation sites of the 20,000-dalton light chain are estimated as serine-1, serine-2, and threonine-9. Prolonged phosphorylation by protein kinase C resulted in an additional phosphorylation site which, on the basis of limited proteolysis, appears to be either serine-19 or threonine-18. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C causes an inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity of platelet myosin prephosphorylated by myosin light chain kinase. Inhibition of ATPase activity is due to a decreased affinity of myosin for actin, and no change in Vmax is observed. It is shown that platelet myosin also exhibits the 6S to 10S conformation transition as judged by viscosity and gel filtration methods. Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of platelet myosin is paralleled with the 10S-6S transition. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C affects neither the 10S-6S transition nor the myosin filament formation. Therefore, the inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity of platelet myosin is not due to the change in the myosin conformation.

We have produced and characterized monoclonal antibodies that label antigenic determinants distributed among three distinct, nonoverlapping peptide domains of the 200-kD heavy chain of avian smooth muscle myosin. Mice were immunized with a partially phosphorylated chymotryptic digest of adult turkey gizzard myosin. Hybridoma antibody specificities were determined by solid-phase indirect radioimmunoassay and immunoreplica techniques. Electron microscopy of rotary-shadowed samples was used to directly visualize the topography of individual [antibody.antigen] complexes. Antibody TGM-1 bound to a 50-kD peptide of subfragment-1 (S-1) previously found to be associated with actin binding and was localized by immunoelectron microscopy to the distal aspect of the myosin head. However, there was no antibody-dependent inhibition of the actin-activated heavy meromyosin ATPase, nor was antibody TGM-1 binding to actin-S-1 complexes inhibited. Antibody TGM-2 detected an epitope of the subfragment-2 (S-2) domain of heavy meromyosin but not the S-2 domain of intact myosin or rod, consistent with recognition of a site exposed by chymotryptic cleavage of the S-2:light meromyosin junction. Localization of TGM-2 to the carboxy-terminus of S-2 was substantiated by immunoelectron microscopy. Antibody TGM-3 recognized an epitope found in the light meromyosin portion of myosin. All three antibodies were specific for avian smooth muscle myosin. Of particular interest is that antibody TGM-1, unlike TGM-3, bound poorly to homogenates of 19-d embryonic smooth muscles. This indicates the expression of different myosin heavy chain epitopes during smooth muscle development.

Monoclonal antibodies 44D7 and 4F2 inhibited specifically the Na+-dependent Ca2+ fluxes characteristic of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in cardiac and skeletal muscle sarcolemmal vesicles. Preincubation of membrane vesicles with monoclonal antibody 44D7 inhibited 90% of the Na+-dependent Ca2+ uptake measured in the first 10 s of the reaction and 50% of that measured after 60 s. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent ATPase activity and ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by sarcolemmal vesicles were not affected by monoclonal antibody 44D7 whereas the Na+-dependent release of accumulated Ca2+ was inhibited. In the presence of the 44D7 antigen isolated from human kidney, monoclonal antibody 44D7 could no longer inhibit Na+-dependent Ca2+ fluxes. The distribution of 4F2 antigenic activity in the isolated muscle membrane fractions correlated with that of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity; cardiac and skeletal muscle sarcolemmal vesicles expressed higher levels of the antigen than skeletal muscle transverse tubule membrane, while no antigen could be detected in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Our results suggest that monoclonal antibodies 44D7 and 4F2 interact either directly with the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger molecules or with some other protein(s) responsible for the regulation of this activity in the heart and skeletal muscle.

NH2-terminal analysis of the alpha and beta heavy chain polypeptides (Mr greater than 400,000) from the outer arm dynein of sea urchin sperm flagella, compared with that of the 230,000- and 200,000-Mr peptides formed upon photocleavage of dynein by irradiation at 365 nm in the presence of vanadate and ATP, shows that the NH2 termini of the intact chains are acetylated and that the 230,000- and 200,000 Mr peptides constitute the amino- and carboxy-terminal portions of the heavy chains, respectively. Tryptic digestion of the beta heavy chain is known to separate it into two particles, termed fragments A and B, that sediment at 12S and 6S (Ow, R. A., W.-J. Y. Tang, G. Mocz, and I. R. Gibbons, 1987. J. Biol. Chem. 262:3409-3414). Immunoblots against monoclonal antibodies specific for epitopes on the beta heavy chain, used in conjunction with photoaffinity labeling, show that the ATPase-containing fragment A is derived from the amino-terminal region of the beta chain, with the two photolytic sites thought to be associated with the purine-binding and the gamma-phosphate-binding areas of the ATP-binding site spanning an approximately 100,000 Mr region near the middle of the intact beta chain. Fragment B is derived from the complementary carboxy-terminal region of the beta chain.

The actin bundle within each microvillus of the intestinal brush border is tethered laterally to the membrane by spirally arranged bridges. These bridges are thought to be composed of a protein complex consisting of a 110-kD subunit and multiple molecules of bound calmodulin (CM). Recent studies indicate that this complex, termed 110K-CM, is myosin-like with respect to its actin binding and ATPase properties. In this study, possible structural similarity between the 110-kD subunit and myosin was examined using two sets of mAbs; one was generated against Acanthamoeba myosin II and the other against the 110-kD subunit of avian 110K-CM. The myosin II mAbs had been shown previously to be cross-reactive with skeletal muscle myosin, with the epitope(s) localized to the 50-kD tryptic fragment of the subfragment-1 (S1) domain. The 110K mAbs (CX 1-5) reacted with the 110-kD subunit as well as with the heavy chain of skeletal but not with that of smooth or brush border myosin. All five of these 110K mAbs reacted with the 25-kD, NH2-terminal tryptic fragment of chicken skeletal S1, which contains the ATP-binding site of myosin. Similar tryptic digestion of 110K-CM revealed that these five mAbs all reacted with a 36-kD fragment of 110K (as well as larger 90- and 54-kD fragments) which by photoaffinity labeling was shown to contain the ATP-binding site(s) of the 110K subunit. CM binding to these same tryptic digests of 110K-CM revealed that only the 90-kD fragment retained both ATP- and CM-binding domains. CM binding was observed to several tryptic fragments of 60, 40, 29, and 18 kD, none of which contain the myosin head epitopes. These results suggest structural similarity between the 110K and myosin S1, including those domains involved in ATP- and actin binding, and provide additional evidence that 110K-CM is a myosin. These studies also support the results of Coluccio and Bretscher (1988. J. Cell Biol. 106:367-373) that the calmodulin-binding site(s) and the myosin head region of the 110-kD subunit lie in discrete functional domains of the molecule.

Using peroxidase immunohistochemistry, we examined the distribution of P170, a multidrug transport protein, in normal tissues by use of two different monoclonal antibodies (MAb). MAb MRK16 is a MAb that has been shown to react with an epitope in P170 located on the external face of the plasma membrane of multidrug-resistant human cells. MAb C219 has been shown to react with P170 in many mammalian species, and detects an epitope located on the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane. Using MRK16, we have previously described the localization of P170 on the bile canalicular face of hepatocytes, the apical surface of proximal tubular cells in kidney, and the surface epithelium in the lower GI tract in normal human tissues. In this work, we report that MRK16 also detects P170 in the capillaries of some human brain samples. A similar pattern was found using MAb C219 in rat tissues. in addition, MAb C219 showed intense localization in selected skeletal muscle fibers and all cardiac muscle fibers in rat and human tissues. ATPase cytochemistry showed that these reactive skeletal muscle fibers were of the type I (slow-twitch) class. Other additional sites of C219 reactivity in rat tissues were found in pancreatic acini, seminal vesicle, and testis. Electrophoretic gel immunoblotting showed two protein bands reactive with MAb C219. In liver, MAb C219 reacted with a approximately 170 KD band. In skeletal and cardiac muscle, MAb C219 reacted with a approximately 200 KD band which migrated in the same position as myosin. This band also reacted with an antibody to skeletal muscle myosin. This result suggests that C219 may crossreact with the heavy chain of muscle myosin in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Because MAb C219 reacts with proteins other than P170, it should be used with caution in studies of multidrug resistance.
