The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase of myosin II from Acanthamoeba castellanii is regulated by phosphorylation of 3 serine residues at the tip of the tail of each of its two heavy chains; only dephosphorylated myosin II is active, whereas the phosphorylated and dephosphorylated forms have identical Ca2+-ATPase activities and Mg2+-ATPase activities in the absence of F-actin. We have now chemically modified phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin II with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The modification occurred principally at a single site within the NH2-terminal 73,000 Da of the globular head of the heavy chain. NEM-myosin II bound to F-actin and formed filaments normally, but the Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities of phosphorylated and dephosphorylated myosin II and the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of NEM-dephosphorylated myosin II were inhibited. Only filamentous myosin II has actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity. Native phosphorylated myosin II acquired actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity when it was co-polymerized with NEM-inactivated dephosphorylated myosin II, and the increase in its activity was cooperatively dependent on the fraction of NEM-dephosphorylated myosin II in the filaments. From this result, we conclude that the specific activity of each molecule within a filament is independent of its own state of phosphorylation, but is highly cooperatively dependent upon the state of phosphorylation of the filament as a whole. This enables the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of myosin II filaments to respond rapidly and extensively to small changes in the level of their phosphorylation.

The Mg2+-ATPase activity of Acanthamoeba myosin IA is activated by F-actin only when the myosin heavy chain is phosphorylated at a single residue. In order to gain insight into the conformational changes that may be responsible for the effects of F-actin and phosphorylation on myosin I ATPase, we have studied their effects on the proteolysis of the myosin IA heavy chain by trypsin. Trypsin initially cleaves the unphosphorylated, 140-kDa heavy chain of Acanthamoeba myosin IA at sites 38 and 112 kDa from its NH2 terminus and secondarily at sites 64 and 91 kDa from the NH2 terminus. F-actin has no effect on tryptic cleavage at the 91- and 112-kDa sites, but does protect the 38-kDa site and the 64-kDa site. Phosphorylation (which occurs very near the 38-kDa site) has no detectable effect on the tryptic cleavage pattern in the absence of F-actin or on F-actin protection of the 64-kDa site, but significantly enhances F-actin protection of the 38-kDa site. Protection of the 64-kDa site is probably due to direct steric blocking because F-actin binds to this region of the heavy chain. The protection of the 38-kDa site by F-actin may be the result of conformational changes in this region of the heavy chain induced by F-actin binding near the 64-kDa site and by phosphorylation. The conformational changes in the heavy chain of myosin IA that are detected by alterations in its susceptibility to proteolysis are likely to be related to the conformational changes that are involved in the phosphorylation-regulated actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities of Acanthamoeba myosins IA and IB.

The fluorescent reagent 9-anthroylnitrile (ANN) reacted preferentially with serine among various amino acids tested. When the myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) was incubated with ANN, the 9-anthroyl (AN) group was covalently incorporated into the S-1 heavy chain. The incorporation of the AN group was enhanced by the presence of ATP and ADP. In the presence of ATP, 0.98 mol of the AN group was maximally incorporated into S-1. The resulting S-1 derivative exhibited four absorption maxima in the range of 300-400 nm and fluoresced strongly with an emission maximum at 462 nm upon excitation at 390 nm. The spectral properties were similar to those of the AN-derivatives of serine and polyserine. When 0.98 mol of the AN group was incorporated into S-1, the K+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities decreased to 30%, while the Mg2+-ATPase activity increased to 220% of the original value. Tryptic digestion of the labeled S-1 revealed that the AN group was attached only to the NH2-terminal 23-kDa tryptic peptide of the S-1 heavy chain. Neither the 20-nor the 50-kDa peptide was labeled with ANN. The results suggest that a serine residue, which becomes more reactive in the presence of the nucleotide, is located in the 23-kDa tryptic peptide of S-1.

Various aspects of actin--myosin interaction were studied with actin preparations from two types of smooth muscle: bovine aorta and chicken gizzard, and from two types of sarcomeric muscle: bovine cardiac and rabbit skeletal. All four preparations activated the Mg2+-ATPase activity of skeletal muscle myosin to the same Vmax, but the Kapp for the smooth muscle preparations was higher. At low KCl, pH 8.0 and millimolar substrate concentrations the Kapp values differed by a factor of 2.5. This differential behaviour of the four actin preparations correlates with amino acid substitutions at positions 17 and 89 of actin polypeptide chain, differentiating the smooth-muscle-specific gamma and alpha isomers from cardiac and skeletal-muscle-specific alpha isomers. This correlation provides evidence for involvement of the NH2-terminal portion of the actin polypeptide chain in the interaction with myosin. The differences in the activation of myosin ATPase by various actins were sensitive to changes in the substrate and KCl concentration and pH of the assay medium. Addition of myosin subfragment-1 or heavy meromyosin in the absence of nucleotide produced similar changes in the fluorescence of a fluorescent reagent N-(1-pyrenyl)-iodoacetamide, attached at Cys-374, or 1,N6-ethenoadenosine 5'-diphosphate substituted for the bound ADP in actin protomers in gizzard and skeletal muscle F-actin. The results are consistent with an influence of the amino acid substitutions on ionic interactions leading to complex formation between actin and myosin intermediates in the ATPase cycle but not on the associated states.

Acanthamoeba myosin II contains two heavy chains of Mr 185,000 and two pairs of light chains of Mr 17,500 and 17,000. We now report the purification of a globular proteolytic 103-kDa subfragment of myosin II which contained a 68-kDa NH2-terminal segment of the heavy chain and one pair of intact light chains. The myosin II head fragment expressed full Ca2+-ATPase activity but its actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity had a Vmax of only 0.07 s-1 compared to 1.9 s-1 (per head) for filaments of native unphosphorylated myosin II. The head fragment had a similar KATPase to that of filaments (5 versus 4 microM) and about 75% of the head fraction could bind to F-actin in the presence of ATP with a Kbinding of 5.6 microM. The Kbinding of the head fragment may be similar to that of individual heads in the native myosin II filaments although the experimentally determined apparent Kbinding for filaments is much lower, 0.3 microM. The head fragment was covalently cross-linked to F-actin in the absence of nucleotide using the zero length cross-linker 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide. The cross-linked actin-myosin head complex hydrolyzed MgATP at a rate equivalent to Vmax for the active dephosphorylated native myosin II. These data indicate that the isolated head fragment had intact catalytic and actin-binding domains but that it bound to F-actin in the presence of ATP in a relatively inactive conformation. When covalently cross-linked to F-actin the head fragment was apparently locked into a catalytically fully active conformation.

Previous studies had led to the conclusion that the globular, single-headed myosins IA and IB from Acanthamoeba castellanii contain two actin-binding sites: one associated with the catalytic site and whose binding to F-actin activates the Mg2+-ATPase activity and a second site whose binding results in the cross-linking of actin filaments and makes the actin-activated ATPase activity positively cooperative with respect to myosin I concentration. We have now prepared a 100,000-Da NH2-terminal peptide and a 30,000-Da COOH-terminal peptide by alpha-chymotryptic digestion of the myosin IA heavy chain. The intact 17,000-Da light chain remained associated with the 100,000-Da fragment, which also contained the serine residue that must be phosphorylated for expression of actin-activated ATPase activity by native myosin IA. The 30,000-Da peptide, which contained 34% glycine and 21% proline, bound to F-actin with a KD less than 0.5 microM in the presence or absence of ATP but had no ATPase activity. The 100,000-Da peptide bound to F-actin with KD = 0.4-0.8 microM in the presence of 2 mM MgATP and KD less than 0.01 microM in the absence of MgATP. In contrast to native myosin IA, neither peptide cross-linked actin filaments. The phosphorylated 100,000-Da peptide had actin-activated ATPase activity with the same Vmax as that of native phosphorylated myosin IA but this activity displayed simple, noncooperative hyperbolic dependence on the actin concentration in contrast to the complex cooperative kinetics observed with native myosin IA. These results provide direct experimental evidence for the presence of two actin-binding sites on myosin IA, as was suggested by enzyme kinetic and filament cross-linking data, and also for the previously proposed mechanism by which monomeric myosins I could support contractile activities.

The actin-dependent ATPase activity of myosin is retained in the separated heads (S1) which contain the NH2-terminal 95-kDa heavy chain fragment and one or two light chains. The S1 heavy chain can be degraded further by limited trypsin treatment into characteristic 25-, 50-, and 20-kDa peptides, in this order from the NH2-terminal end. The 20-kDa peptide contains an actin-binding site and SH1 and SH2, two thiols whose modification dramatically affects ATPase activity. By treating myosin filaments with trypsin at 4 degrees C in the presence of 2 mM MgCl2, we have now obtained preferential cleavage at the 50-20-kDa heavy chain site without any cleavage at the head-rod junction and hinge region in the rod. Incubation of these trypsinized filaments at 37 degrees C in the presence of MgATP released a new S1 fraction which lacked the COOH-terminal 20-kDa heavy chain peptide region. This fraction, termed S1'(75K), has more than 50% of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of S1 and the characteristic Ca2+-ATPase and K+-EDTA ATPase activities of myosin. These results show that SH1 and SH2 are not essential for ATPase activity and that binding of actin to the 20-kDa region is not essential for the enhancement of the Mg2+-ATPase activity.

Acanthamoeba myosin IA is a globular protein composed of a 140-kDa heavy chain and a 17-kDa light chain. It expresses high actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity when one serine on the heavy chain is phosphorylated. We previously showed that chymotrypsin cleaves the heavy chain into a COOH-terminal 27-kDa peptide that can bind to F-actin but has no ATPase activity and a complex containing the NH2-terminal 112-kDa peptide and the light chain. The complex also binds F-actin and has full actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity when the regulatory site is phosphorylated. We have now localized the ATP binding site to within 27 kDa of the NH2 terminus and the regulatory phosphorylatable serine to a 20-kDa region between 38 and 58 kDa of the NH2 terminus. Under controlled conditions, trypsin cleaves the heavy chain at two sites, 38 and 112 kDa from the NH2 terminus, producing a COOH-terminal 27-kDa peptide similar to that produced by chymotrypsin and a complex consisting of an NH2-terminal kDa peptide, a central 74-kDa peptide, and the light chain. This complex is similar to the chymotryptic complex but for the cleavage which separates the 38- and 74-kDa peptides. The tryptic complex has full (K+, EDTA)-ATPase activity (the catalytic site is functional) and normal ATP-sensitive actin-binding properties. However, the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity and the F-actin-binding characteristics of the tryptic complex are no longer sensitive to phosphorylation of the regulatory serine. Therefore, cleavage between the phosphorylation site and the ATP-binding site inhibits the effects of phosphorylation on actin binding and actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity without abolishing the interactions between the ATP- and actin-binding sites.

Acanthamoeba myosin IB contains a 125-kDa heavy chain that has high actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity when 1 serine residue is phosphorylated. The heavy chain contains two F-actin-binding sites, one associated with the catalytic site and a second which allows myosin IB to cross-link actin filaments but has no direct effect on catalytic activity. Tryptic digestion of the heavy chain initially produces an NH2-terminal 62-kDa peptide that contains the ATP-binding site and the regulatory phosphorylation site, and a COOH-terminal 68-kDa peptide. F-actin, in the absence of ATP, protects this site and tryptic cleavage then produces an NH2-terminal 80-kDa peptide. Both the 62- and the 80-kDa peptides retain the (NH+4,EDTA)-ATPase activity of native myosin IB and both bind to F-actin in an ATP-sensitive manner. However, only the 80-kDa peptide retains a major portion of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity. This activity requires phosphorylation of the 80-kDa peptide by myosin I heavy chain kinase but, in contrast to the activity of intact myosin IB, it has a simple, hyperbolic dependence on the concentration of F-actin. Also unlike myosin IB, the 80-kDa peptide cannot cross-link F-actin filaments indicating the presence of only a single actin-binding site. These results allow the assignment of the actin-binding site involved in catalytic activity to the region near, and possibly on both sides of, the tryptic cleavage site 62 kDa from the NH2 terminus, and the second actin-binding site to the COOH-terminal 45-kDa domain. Thus, the NH2-terminal 80 kDa of the myosin IB heavy chain is functionally similar to the 93-kDa subfragment 1 of muscle myosin and most likely has a similar organization of functional domains.

Glutaraldehyde (GA) and N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), a hydrophobic, carboxyl group directed, zero-length protein cross-linker, were employed for the chemical cross-linking of the rigor complex between F-actin and the skeletal myosin S-1. The enzymatic properties and structure of the new covalent complexes obtained with both reagents were determined and compared to those known for the EDC-acto-S-1 complex. The GA- or EEDQ-catalyzed covalent attachment of F-actin to the S-1 heavy chain induced an elevated Mg2+-ATPase activity. The turnover rates of the isolated cross-linked complexes were similar to those for EDC-acto-S-1 (30 s-1). The solution stability of the new complexes is also comparable to that exhibited by EDC-acto-S-1. The proteolytic digestion of the isolated AEDANS-labeled covalent complexes and direct cross-linking experiments between actin and various preformed proteolytic S-1 derivatives indicated that, as observed with EDC, the COOH-terminal 20K and the central 50K heavy chain fragments are involved in the cross-linking reactions of GA and EEDQ. KI-depolymerized acto-S-1 complexes cross-linked by EDC, GA, or EEDQ were digested by thrombin which cuts only actin, releasing S-1 heavy chain-actin peptide cross-linked complexes migrating on acrylamide gels with Mr 100K (EDC), 110K and 105K (GA), and 102K (EEDQ); these were fluorescent only when fluorescent S-1 was used. They were identified by immunostaining with specific antibodies directed against selected parts of he NH2-terminal actin segment of residues 1-113.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
