The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of smooth muscle myosin was measured in 85 mM KCl, 6 mM MgCl2 in the absence of tropomyosin. The activity was dependent on myosin concentration. Vmax increased as myosin concentration was increased, while the Ka (the apparent dissociation constant for actin) remained the same. The extent of filament formation was also correlated with myosin concentration and most of the myosin monomers existed in 10S conformation. These results suggest that myosin concentration influences the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity by changing the 10S-6S-filaments equilibrium.

Activation of aorta thiophosphorylated heavy meromyosin (HMM[SP]) Mg2+-ATPase activity by aorta actin and the fraction of HMM[SP]-substrate intermediate complexes bound to actin were measured simultaneously. At 25 degrees C the Km for ATPase activation and the dissociation constant for the binding reaction were similar, irrespective of the presence or absence of tropomyosin. Aorta caldesmon (0.1 mol/mol actin) inhibited ATPase activation by 80-90% but did not alter the binding of HMM[SP]-product intermediates to actin. It is concluded that caldesmon inhibits by slowing the rate-limiting release of products from the actin-HMM[SP].ADP.Pi complex.

Isoelectric focusing of purified vascular smooth muscle myosin revealed two variants of the 17,000-dalton light chain subunits. The isoelectric points of the light chain variants were determined to be 4.13 (LC17a) and 4.19 (LC17b). Tryptic peptide maps of the two species of light chain generated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography disclosed small but obvious differences in peptide composition while amino acid analyses of the variants were quite similar. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of extracts from various mammalian smooth muscles revealed tissue-specific differences in the relative content of LC17a and LC17b. Vascular (aorta, carotid, and pulmonary artery) muscles and tracheal smooth muscle contained both light chain variants while smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and jejunum) contained LC17a only. The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities of both phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated stomach (LC17b = 0) and aortic (LC17b = 40%) myosins were compared. In the presence of saturating tropomyosin, a 2-fold difference in Vmax was measured: phosphorylated, aortic, 0.119 +/- 0.009 versus stomach, 0.239 +/- 0.012 mumol of PO4 liberated/min/mg of myosin; nonphosphorylated, aortic, 0.065 +/- 0.004 versus stomach, 0.123 +/- 0.004 mumol of PO4 liberated/min/mg of myosin. In addition, the Vmax of myosin subfragment-1 ATPase from bovine aortic, pulmonary artery, and stomach myosins (LC17b contents, 40, 20, and 0%, respectively) was found to decrease in direct proportion to the LC17b content. Our results suggest that isoforms of the 17,000-dalton light chain subunits of mammalian smooth muscle myosin could play an important role in modulating actomyosin ATPase activity.

Changes in F-actin conformation in myosin-free single ghost fibers of rabbit skeletal muscle induced by the binding of skeletal and gizzard tropomyosin to F-actin were studied by measuring intrinsic tryptophan-polarized fluorescence of F-actin. It was found that skeletal and gizzard tropomyosin binding to F-actin initiate different conformational changes in actin filaments. Skeletal tropomyosin inhibits, while gizzard tropomyosin activates the Mg2+-ATPase activity of skeletal actomyosin. It is supposed that in muscle fibers tropomyosin modulates the ATPase activity of actomyosin via conformational changes in F-actin.

Several structural and functional properties of the covalent complex, formed upon cross-linking of the myosin heads (S-1) to F-actin with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, were characterized. The elevated Mg2+-ATPase activity was measured during a 1-month storage of the complex under various conditions. In aqueous medium it showed a rapid time-dependent decrease but it was significantly more stable in the presence of 50% ethylene glycol at -20 degrees C. The ATPase loss most likely reflects a progressive conformational change within the S-1 ATPase site resulting from its greater exposure to the medium, induced by the permanently bound F-actin. The covalent acto-S1 complex was submitted to depolymerization-repolymerization experiments using different depolymerizing agents (0.6 M KI; 4.7 M NH4Cl; low-ionic-strength solution). The depolymerization led to an immediate loss of the enhanced Mg2+-ATPase activity; this activity was almost entirely recovered upon repolymerization of the complex. The protein material formed upon depolymerization of the covalent acto-S1 was analyzed by gel chromatography, gel electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation and electron microscopy. It comprised mainly small-sized actin oligomers associated with the covalently bound S-1 and only a limited amount of free G-actin. The results illustrate the relationships between the filamentous state of actin and its ability to stimulate the Mg2+-ATPase activity of S-1. They also indicate that the binding of S-1 to F-actin is transmitted to several neighbouring actin subunits and strengthens the interactions between actin monomers. Acto-S1 cross-linked complexes were prepared in the presence of tropomyosin and the tropomyosin-troponin system. Under the conditions employed, the regulatory proteins were not cross-linked to actin or S-1 and did not affect the extent or the pattern of S-1 cross-linking to F-actin. Measurements of the elevated Mg2+-ATPase activity of the cross-linked preparations revealed that tropomyosin and the tropomyosin-troponin complex, in the absence of Ca2+, inhibit ATP hydrolysis; the extent of ATPase inhibition (up to 50%) was dependent on the amount of covalently bound S-1, being larger at low level of S-1 cross-linking; the addition of Ca2+ restored the ATPase activity to the control value. The data provide direct evidence that the regulatory proteins can modulate directly the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by the covalent acto-S1 complex as has earlier been suggested for the reversible complex [Chalovich, J. M. and Eisenberg, E. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 2432-2437].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Filamin binds to F-actin and influences the myosin-actin interaction. At relatively low concentrations, filamin activates actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase, whereas higher concentrations of filamin exert an inhibitory effect. Activation of ATPase activity occurs under conditions where a loose meshwork of actin filaments is present and inhibition is associated with the appearance of closely apposed bundles of actin filaments. Maximum activation (about fourfold) of actomyosin ATPase activity by filamin occurs between 30 and 65 mM KCl, at pH 6.5, and at temperatures not less than 30 degrees C. ATPase activation requires higher concentrations of filamin in the presence than in the absence of tropomyosin. Filamin does not activate Mg2+-ATPase activity of acto-subfragment-1 and has only a slight effect on the Mg2+-ATPase of acto-heavy meromyosin, but it inhibits the activity of both these systems under conditions similar to those that inhibit actomyosin ATPase activity.

Catecholamines are known to influence the contractility of cardiac and skeletal muscles, presumably via cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of specific proteins. We have investigated the in vitro phosphorylation of myofibrillar proteins by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase of fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscles and cardiac muscle with a view to gaining a better understanding of the biochemical basis of catecholamine effects on striated muscles. Incubation of canine red skeletal myofibrils with the isolated catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and Mg-[gamma-32P]ATP led to the rapid incorporation of [32P]phosphate into five major protein substrates of subunit molecular weights (MWs) 143,000, 60,000, 42,000, 33,000, and 11,000. The 143,000 MW substrate was identified as C-protein; the 42,000 MW substrate is probably actin; the 33,000 MW substrate was shown not to be a subunit of tropomyosin and, like the 60,000 and 11,000 MW substrates, is an unidentified myofibrillar protein. Isolated canine red skeletal muscle C-protein as phosphorylated to the extent of approximately 0.5 mol Pi/mol C-protein. Rabbit white skeletal muscle and bovine cardiac muscle C-proteins were also phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, both in myofibrils and in the isolated state. Cardiac C-protein was phosphorylated to the extent of 5-6 mol Pi/mol C-protein, whereas rabbit white skeletal muscle C-protein was phosphorylated at the level of approximately 0.5 mol Pi/mol C-protein. As demonstrated earlier by others, C-protein of skeletal and cardiac muscles inhibited the actin-activated myosin Mg2+-ATPase activity at low ionic strength in a system reconstituted from the purified skeletal muscle contractile proteins (actin and myosin).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Effects of regulatory proteins on the actomyosin subfragment 1 (acto-S1) Mg2+-ATPase activity were studied over a range of S1 concentration at low actin concentration such that the specific activity was constant in the absence of the regulatory proteins. In their presence, the activity was inhibited at low [S1] and activated at higher [S1] in each of three cases: 1) troponin + tropomyosin + Ca2+; 2) tropomyosin; 3) troponin + tropomyosin - Ca2+. The [S1] required to activate increased in the order 1, 2, 3. In all three cases, however, the inhibition increased toward 100% when the [S1] approached zero. Tropomyosin titrations of acto-S1 ATPase at low [S1] which resulted in inhibition were hyperbolic and gave a binding constant of K approximately 10(7) M-1. In contrast, at higher [S1], tropomyosin titrations were sigmoidal, indicating cooperative effects on activation. These results suggest a modification of the simple steric blocking theory of regulation, in which it is postulated that both of the Ca2+-dependent positions of tropomyosin on the thin filament block the formation of active acto-S1-nucleotide intermediates at low [S1], and in which tropomyosin occupies a third "nonblocking" position in the active state at high [S1]. In this modified model, Ca2+ facilitates the binding of myosin heads, leading to the active site.

1. The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of gizzard HMM increased in proportion to the square of the extent of LC phosphorylation. This result indicates that the LCs of HMM are randomly phosphorylated, and the phosphorylation of both heads of HMM is required for the activation of HMM Mg2+-ATPase by F-actin. 2. In 75 mM KCl, the Mg2+-ATPase activity of gizzard myosin was activated by F-actin only slightly when a half of the total LC was phosphorylated. From 1 to 2 mol LC phosphorylation, the activity was enhanced by F-actin almost linearly. In 30 mM KCl, the activity of acto-gizzard myosin increased sigmoidally with increase in the extent of LC phosphorylation. On electron microscopy, side-by-side aggregates of myosin filaments were observed in 30 mM KCl, but not in 75 mM KCl. It was suggested that the activation of the Mg2+-ATPase activity of acto-gizzard myosin LC phosphorylation is modified by formation of myosin filaments and their aggregates. 3. The relationship between the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of HMM or myosin and the extent of LC phosphorylation was unaffected by tropomyosin.

We have developed a new method for the rapid isolation of tropomyosin-containing microfilaments from cultured cells using anti-tropomyosin monoclonal antibodies. Anti-tropomyosin monoclonal antibodies induce the bundle formation of microfilaments, which can be easily collected by low speed centrifugation. Electron microscopic studies of the isolated microfilaments show periodic localization of tropomyosin along the microfilaments of nonmuscle cells with a 33-34 nm repeat. Furthermore, the isolated microfilaments have the ability to activate the Mg2+-ATPase activity of skeletal muscle myosin to almost the same extent as skeletal muscle F-actin (filamentous actin). This microfilament isolation method is applicable to a variety of cell types, including REF-52 cells (an established rat embryo line), L6 myoblasts, 3T3 fibroblasts, Chinese hamster ovary cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells, mouse neuroblastoma cells, gerbil fibroma cells, and chicken embryo fibroblasts. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis shows that, in addition to actin, microfilaments isolated from REF-52 cells contain five species of tropomyosin with apparent Mr = 40,000, 36,500, 35,000, 32,400, and 32,000, alpha-actinin, and as yet unknown proteins with apparent Mr = 83,000 and 37,000. The molar ratio of total tropomyosin (dimer) to actin in the isolated microfilaments is 1:8. The patterns of these multiple forms of tropomyosin were found to change when REF-52 cells were transformed with SV40 or adenovirus type 5.
