Biochemical and immunological analysis of unfertilized sea urchin eggs has revealed the presence of at least two distinct isoforms of cytoplasmic dyneins, one soluble and the other microtubule-associated. The soluble enzyme is a 20 S particle with a MgATPase activity that can be activated 5-fold by nonionic detergents. It contains heavy chain polypeptides that 1) comigrate with the dynein heavy chains of embryonic cilia; 2) cross-react with antibodies against flagellar dynein; and 3) are cleaved by UV irradiation in the presence of MgATP and sodium vanadate into specific peptide fragments. The soluble egg dynein is, therefore, closely related to axonemal dynein and may be a ciliary precursor. Egg microtubule preparations contain a distinct dynein-like polypeptide, previously designated HMr-3 (Scholey, J.M., Neighbors, B., McIntosh, J.R., and Salmon, E.D. (1984) J. Biol Chem. 259, 6516-6525). HMr-3 binds microtubules in an ATP-sensitive fashion; it sediments at 20 S on sucrose density gradients, and it is susceptible to vanadate-sensitized UV cleavage. However, HMr-3 can be distinguished from the soluble cytoplasmic dynein on the basis of its weak cross-reactivity with antiflagellar dynein antibodies, its heavy chain composition on high resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, its low specific ATPase activity, and the molecular weight of its vanadate-induced UV cleavage fragments. HMr-3 may represent a dynein-like polypeptide that is distinct from the pool of ciliary dynein precursors.

Chymotryptic digestion of scallop myosin yielded two different preparations of subfragment-1, having the following features. The major product from chymotryptic digestion of scallop myosin was subfragment-1 (S1) either in Ca-medium or in EDTA-medium. However, the S1 preparations obtained from the digestion in Ca-medium, abbreviated as Ca-S1(CT), had both types of light chain subunits (regulatory light chains (R-LC) and essential light chains (SH-LC], and 100 Kdaltons (Kd) heavy chain subfragments (HCs), whereas the S1 preparations obtained from the digestion in EDTA-medium, ED-S1(CT), had no R-LC, partially fragmented SH-LC (SH-LC), and 90 Kd HCs. On the other hand, Ca-S1(CT) and ED-S1(CT) were practically identical with each other in ATPase activity and in actin-binding ability. The two S1 preparations were also identical in that the Mg-ATPase activity of both S1 and acto-S1 was insensitive to calcium ions. Ca-S1(CT), which contained both R-LC and SH-LC in a stoichiometric amount, was further digested with trypsin, which is known to cleave rabbit skeletal myosin not only at the head-tail junction but also in the head. The tryptic digestion of Ca-S1(CT) appeared, in terms of the SDS-gel electrophoretic pattern, to occur at a much faster rate in Ca-medium than in EDTA-medium, and with a different digestion profile. It is therefore suggested that association of R-LC induces changes in the heavy chain conformation which result in an increase in the proteolytic digestibility of heavy chains and in an alteration of the site of proteolytic cleavage on heavy chains.

The 18 S dynein from the outer arm of Chlamydomonas flagella is composed of an alpha subunit containing an alpha heavy chain (Mr = approximately 340,000) and an Mr = 16,000 light chain, and a beta subunit containing a beta heavy chain (Mr = approximately 340,000), two intermediate chains (Mr = 78,000 and 69,000), and seven light chains (Mr = 8,000-20,000). Both subunits contain ATPase activity. We have used 8-azidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (8-N3 ATP), a photoaffinity analog of ATP, to investigate the ATP-binding sites of intact 18 S dynein. 8-N3ATP is a competitive inhibitor of 18 S dynein's ATPase activity and is itself hydrolyzed by 18 S dynein; moreover, 18 S dynein's hydrolysis of ATP and 8-N3ATP is inhibited by vanadate to the same extent. 8-N3ATP therefore appears to interact with at least one of 18 S dynein's ATP hydrolytic sites in the same way as does ATP. When [alpha- or gamma-32P]8-N3ATP is incubated with 18 S dynein in the presence of UV irradiation, label is incorporated primarily into the alpha, beta, and Mr = 78,000 chains; a much smaller amount is incorporated into the Mr = 69,000 chain. The light chains are not labeled. The incorporation is UV-dependent, ATP-sensitive, and blocked by preincubation of the enzyme with vanadate plus low concentrations of ATP or ADP. These results suggest that the alpha heavy chain contains the site of ATP binding and hydrolysis in the alpha subunit. In the beta subunit, the beta heavy chain and one or both intermediate chains may contain ATP-binding sites.

Modification of chicken gizzard myosin with phenyl[2-14C]-glyoxal inhibited the K+-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.32) activity as a function of time. During the 2.5 and 15 min interval 3.2 mol of the reagent were incorporated per 4.7 X 10(5) g protein and the K+-ATPase activity was 50% inhibited. Phenylglyoxal reacted with arginine residues of gizzard myosin in a mol ratio of two to one, phenylglyoxal to arginine as determined spectrophotometrically. The modification was limited to the subfragment 1 heavy chain and rod-like regions and none of the light chains were lost. The inhibition of the ATPase activity occurred when the subfragment 1 region was modified predominantly. The same results were obtained when the myosin was phosphorylated and then incubated with phenylglyoxal. Substrate MgATP2- or MgADP enhanced the inactivation of gizzard myosin; there was an increase in the incorporation of the reagent and a change in the distribution into the heavy chains. Approx. 0.5 mol of the nucleotide was bound to 4.7 X 10(5) g of phenylglyoxal myosin. Conformational changes, induced by these modifications, were responsible for the inhibition of enzymic activity. Arginine residues of gizzard myosin are necessary for the maintenance of the ATPase activity of this contractile protein.

The procedure of high performance ion-exchange chromatography has been used to fractionate subfragment 1 of myosin (SF1) into its isoenzymic forms. In contrast to conventional ion-exchange procedures which yield two fractions corresponding to SF1(A1) and SF1(A2), the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure resolves SF1 into four discrete fractions. The first pair that is eluted appears to be A1-containing isoenzymes while the latter pair corresponds to the A2 forms based on their polypeptide compositions by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. By gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions it is not possible to differentiate between the two fractions corresponding to each isoenzyme. Although very minor differences between the fractions can be seen by the presence of extraneous peptides, these are present in far below stoichiometric amounts and, therefore, make it very unlikely that the superior fractionation by the HPLC procedure is based on their presence. An examination of the heavy chain heterogeneity in each of these fractions by peptide mapping revealed that the extra separation was based on this factor. Thus the HPLC procedure is capable of providing separation of SF1 into heavy chain-based isozymes as well as the light chain forms. ATPase measurements of these fractions reveal only minor differences in the Ca2+- and EDTA-activated ATPase.

An ADP analog carrying a biotin moiety and a photoreactive group was synthesized. In the presence of vanadate ion (Vi), the analog was tightly trapped into the ATPase site of heavy meromyosin (HMM) or myosin subfragment 1 (S1) in an ADP analog/ATPase site molar ratio of 1:1. UV illumination on the HMM (or S1)-Vi-ADP analog complex resulted in covalent incorporation of the analog into the ATPase site. About 15% of the trapped analog was crosslinked to HMM or S1. Mapping of the crosslinking site of the analog showed that the N-terminal Mr 25,000 segment of the heavy chain participated in binding the ADP analog. The biotin moiety of the analog covalently incorporated into the ATPase site was visualized in electron microscopy by attaching an avidin oligomer. Rotary-shadowed images of the HMM-avidin complex revealed that the crosslinked ADP analog was located about 140 A from the head-rod junction on the head. The result indicates that the ATPase site of myosin is about 140 A apart from the head-rod junction along the head.

When myosin subfragment 1 derivatives in which the reactive sulfhydryl SH1 has been blocked react with N,N'-p-phenylenedimaleimide or 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), the reactive sulfhydryl group SH2 of the 20-kDa domain is crosslinked with a thiol of the 50-kDa domain of the heavy chain. The crosslink induces the stable trapping of a significant amount of Mg2+-nucleotide in the ATPase site.

The reaction of a photoaffinity analog, 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)-benzoic-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (BZ2ATP) with gizzard myosin is described. The incorporation of BZ2ATP into myosin is both specific and stoichiometric. About 2.2 mol BZ2ATP are incorporated/mol myosin resulting in the significant loss of EDTA(K+) ATPase activity. The Mg2+ and actin-activated ATPase activities are slightly inhibited. Addition of ATP (millimolar) during the photolysis reaction significantly inhibits incorporation of BZ2ATP into myosin. Our data show that the label is mainly incorporated into the heavy chain of myosin with some label in the 20-kDa light chain. Limited proteolysis of radioactively labeled myosin subfragment 1 with trypsin reveals the presence of radioactivity mainly in the 50-kDa fragment and some in the 29-kDa and 25-kDa fragments. However, our data on the ATP-sensitive incorporation of BZ2ATP into the tryptic fragments suggest that the 50-kDa peptide, not the 29-kDa peptide, may be located at or around the active site.

Myosin was isolated from amoebae of Physarum polycephalum and compared with myosin from plasmodia, another motile stage in the Physarum life cycle. Amoebal myosin contained heavy chains (Mr approximately 220,000), phosphorylatable light chains (Mr 18,000), and Ca2+-binding light chains (Mr 14,000) and possessed a two-headed long-tailed shape in electron micrographs after rotary shadow casting. In the presence of high salt concentrations, myosin ATPase activity increased in the following order: Mg-ATPase activity less than K-EDTA-ATPase activity less than Ca-ATPase activity. In the presence of low salt concentrations, Mg-ATPase activity was activated approximately 9-fold by skeletal muscle actin. This actin-activated ATPase activity was inhibited by micromolar levels of Ca2+. Amoebal myosin was indistinguishable from plasmodial myosin in ATPase activities and molecular shape. However, the heavy chain and phosphorylatable light chains of amoebal myosin could be distinguished from those of plasmodial myosin in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, peptide mapping, and immunological studies, suggesting that these are different gene products. Ca2+-binding light chains of amoebal and plasmodial myosins were found to be identical using similar criteria, supporting our hypothesis that the Ca2+-binding light chain plays a key role in the inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity in Physarum myosins by micromolar levels of Ca2+.

Myosin subfragment-1 (S1) has been prepared from the fibrillar flight muscles of the giant water bug Lethocerus by chymotryptic digestion of myofibrillar suspensions in the absence of magnesium ions. The S1 obtained has a single light chain and a heavy chain with molecular weights of about 18 kDa and 90 kDa respectively. The kinetics of the elementary steps of the magnesium-dependent ATPase of insect S1 and rabbit S1 are similar, both with ATP and with ATP analogues as substrates. However, the presence of variable amounts of inactive protein within our preparation means that several rate constants cannot be obtained with as much precision in the case of insect S1. The most striking differences between the rabbit and insect S1 are values for the Vmax and the Km of actin during actin-activation of the MgATPase activity, which are up to an order of magnitude lower and greater in the insect than in the rabbit, respectively. The mechanical properties of strain activation and of capacity to do extended oscillatory work are unique to insect fibrillar flight muscle and distinguish it from vertebrate striated muscle. It is likely that these properties reflect differences in the organization of actin and myosin within the respective filament lattices rather than intrinsic differences in the ATPase mechanisms of the isolated myosin molecules from the two types of muscle.
