The structure of a tryptic peptide containing one specific sulfhydryl group (Sa), which is responsible for the activation of Mg2+-ATPase of myosin B and is present in the light meromyosin region of the myosin molecule, was studied. The amino acid sequence was deduced to be Thr (or Ser)-Asn-Ala-Ala-Cys-Ala-Ala-Leu-Asp-Lys-Lys. In addition, a space-filling model around Sa was built up by comparing Sa-peptide with the amino acid sequence around Cys 190 of alpha-tropomyosin, and the high reactivity of Sa with N-ethylmaleimide is considered based on this model.

The 20,000-dalton light chain of bovine platelet myosin is phosphorylated at two sites by myosin light chain kinase. The first and second phosphorylation sites are at a serine and a threonine residue, respectively. The location of the phosphorylation sites was determined by using limited proteolysis. The N-terminal sequence of the 17,000-dalton tryptic fragment of platelet myosin 20,000-dalton light chain was found to be identical with that of gizzard 20,000-dalton light chain from Ala-17 to Phe-33. On the basis of these results and the distribution of 32P among the proteolytic fragments, it was concluded that serine-19 and threonine-18 were the two phosphorylation sites. Phosphorylation at the threonine residue markedly increases the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin. It was found that platelet myosin forms 10S and 6S conformations and its Mg2+-ATPase activity parallels the transition from the 6S to the 10S conformation. The conformational transition was influenced by phosphorylation at both sites, and the phosphorylation at the threonine residue further shifted the equilibrium toward the 6S conformation. The phosphorylation at the threonine residue also induced thick filament formation in the presence of ATP. These results suggest that the phosphorylation at the threonine residue as well as at the serine residue may play an important role in the contractility of nonmuscle cells.

Iodoacetamide (IAA) and its fluorescent derivative, 5-(2-iodoacetamidoethyl) amino-naphthalene-1-sulfonate (IAEDANS) specifically bind to a site on the C-terminal half of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. The location of this specific binding site was identified. SR membranes were treated with 150 microM [14C]IAA at pH 7.0 and 30 degrees C. One mole of IAA per mole of ATPase was bound in 6 h without affecting the Ca2+-transport activity. [14C]IAA-labeled SR membranes were cleaved with BrCN, and 14C-labeled peptide fragments were separated by Sephadex LH-60 chromatography and then digested further with trypsin. A radioactive peptide (Ala-Cys 674-Cys-Phe-Ala-Arg) was purified by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography and C18 reversed phase HPLC (Cys denotes the [14C]IAA-binding site). IAEDANS-labeling was carried out by reacting SR membranes with 50 microM IAEDANS for 5 h, at pH 7.0 and 30 degrees C. A fluorescent peptide was successfully purified by the same procedures as for the IAA-labeled peptide, and the amino acid sequence analysis of this peptide revealed that the IAEDANS labeling site was identical with the IAA binding site.

Class I myosins function in cell motility, intracellular vesicle trafficking and endocytosis. Recently, it was shown that class I myosins are phosphorylated by a member of the p21-activated kinase (PAK) family. PAK phosphorylates a conserved serine or threonine residue in the myosin heavy chain. Phosphorylation at this site is required for maximal activation of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity in vitro. This serine or threonine residue is conserved in all known class I myosins of microbial origin and in the human and mouse class VI myosins. We have investigated the in vivo significance of this phosphorylation by mutating serine 371 of the class I myosin heavy chain gene myoA of Aspergillus nidulans. Mutation to glutamic acid, which mimics phosphorylation and therefore activation of the myosin, results in an accumulation of membranes in growing hyphae. This accumulation of membranes results from an activation of endocytosis. In contrast, mutation of serine 371 to alanine had no discernible effect on endocytosis. These studies are the first to demonstrate the in vivo significance of a regulatory phosphorylation on a class I myosin. Furthermore, our results suggest that MYOA has two functions, one dependent and one independent of phosphorylation.

Three conserved glycine residues in the reactive thiol region of Dictyostelium discoideummyosin II were replaced by alanine residues. The resulting mutants G680A, G684A, and G691A were expressed in the soluble myosin head fragment M761-2R [Anson, M., Geeves, M. A., Kurzawa, S. E., and Manstein, D. J. (1996) EMBO J. 15, 6069-6074] and characterized using transient kinetic methods. Mutant G691A showed no major alterations except for a marked increase in basal Mg2+-ATPase activity. Phosphate release seemed to be facilitated by this mutation, and the addition of actin to G691A stimulated ATP turnover not more than 3-fold. In comparison to M761-2R, mutant constructs G691A and G684A showed a 4-fold reduction in the rate of the ATP cleavage step. Most other changes in the kinetic properties of G684A were small ( approximately 2-fold). In contrast, substitution of G680 by an alanine residue led to large changes in nucleotide binding. Compared to M761-2R, rates of nucleotide binding were 20-30-fold slower and the affinity for mantADP was approximately 10-fold increased due to a 200-fold reduction in the dissociation rate constant of mantADP. The ATP-induced dissociation of actin from the acto.680A complex was normal, but the communication between ADP and actin binding was altered such that the two sites are thermodynamically uncoupled but kinetically actin still accelerates ADP release.

Analysis of the three-dimensional crystal structure of the Dictyostelium myosin motor domain revealed that the myosin head is required to bend at residues Ile-455 and Gly-457 to produce the conformation changes observed in the ternary complexes that resemble the pre- and post-hydrolysis states (Fisher, A. J., Smith, C. A., Thoden, J. B., Smith, R., Sutoh, K., Holden, H. M., and Rayment, I. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 8960-8972). Asp-454, Ile-455, and Gly-457 of smooth muscle myosin were substituted by Ala, Met, and Ala, respectively, and the mechano-enzymatic activities were determined to study the role of these residues in myosin motor function. Whereas the basal steady-state Mg2+-ATPase activity of D454A was higher than that of the wild type, the rate of the hydrolytic step is reduced approximately 2,000-fold and becomes rate-limiting. M-ATP rather than M-ADP-P is the predominant steady-state intermediate, and the initial Pi burst and the ATP-induced enhancement of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence are absent in D454A. D454A binds actin in the absence of ATP but is not dissociated from actin by ATP. Moreover, actin inhibits rather than activates the ATPase activity; consequently, D454A does not support actin translocating activity. I455M has normal actin-activated ATPase activity, Pi burst, and ATP-induced enhancement of intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, suggesting that the enzymatic properties are normal. However, the actin translocating activity was completely inhibited. This suggests that the side chain at Ile-455 is critical for myosin motor activity but not for relatively normal enzymatic function, which indicates an apparent uncoupling between enzymatic activity and motile function. Although G457A has normal ATP-dependent actin dissociation, ATP hydrolytic step is reduced by approximately 10(5)-fold in the presence or absence of actin; consequently, G457A does not have actin translocating activity. These results indicate the importance of these conserved residues at the hinge region for normal myosin motor function.

Previous electric birefringence experiments have shown that the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of Acanthamoeba myosin II correlates with the ability of minifilaments to cycle between flexible and stiff conformations. The cooperative transition between conformations was shown to depend on Mg2+ concentration, on ATP binding, and on the state of phosphorylation of three serines in the C-terminal end of the heavy chains. Since the junction between the heavy meromyosin (HMM) and light meromyosin (LMM) regions is expected to disrupt the alpha-helical coiled-coil structure of the rod, this region was anticipated to be the flexible site. We have now cloned and expressed the wild-type rod (residues 849-1509 of the full-length heavy chain) and rods mutated within the junction in order to test this. The sedimentation and electric birefringence properties of minifilaments formed by rods and by native myosin II are strikingly similar. In particular, the Mg2+-dependent flexible-to-stiff transitions of native myosin II and wild-type rod minifilaments are virtually superimposable. Mutations within the junction between the HMM and LMM regions of the rod modulate the ability of Mg2+ to stabilize the stiff conformation. Less Mg2+ is required to induce minifilament stiffening if proline-1244 is replaced with alanine. Deleting the entire junction region (25 amino acids) results in a even greater decrease in the Mg2+ concentration necessary for the transition. The HMM-LMM junction does indeed seem to act as a Mg2+-dependent flexible hinge.

Cyclic undecapeptide cyclo-[MeBmt(1)-Abu(2)-MeGly(3)-MeLeu(4)-Val(5)-MeLeu(6)-Ala(7)-D-Ala(8)-MeLeu(9)-MeLeu(10)-MeVal(11)], the immunosuppressive and antifungal antibiotic cyclosporin A (CsA), was reported to interfere with the MDR1 P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a transmembranous adenosine 5'-triphosphate binding cassette (ABC) transporter with phospholipid flippase or "hydrophobic vacuum cleaner" properties that mediate multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells. By use of photoaffinity-labeled cyclosporins and membranes from Pgp-expressing cells, it was recently shown that in vitro, Pgp molecules could bind a large cyclosporin domain involving residues 4-9 as well as the side chain of residue 1. Tumor cell MDR can also be reversed by a product more distantly related to cyclosporin with the structure [Thr(2), Leu(5), D-Hiv(8), Leu(10)]-CsA (SDZ 214-103). In a standardized assay that measures Pgp function in vivo (on intact live cells) by the Pgp-mediated efflux of the calcein-AM Pgp substrate and uses human lymphoblastoid MDR-CEM (VBL(100)) cells as highly resistant Pgp-expressing cells, SDZ 214-103 was found to be one of the most active Pgp inhibitors among naturally occurring cyclosporins, with an IC(50) of 1.6 microM in an assay where CsA gives an IC(50) of 3.4 microM. Using the in vivo assay, 60, mostly natural, cyclosporin analogues were analyzed to establish structure-activity relationships (SAR). Our SAR are compatible with the in vitro-defined Pgp binding domain model and further disclose that in vivo Pgp inhibition is favored by larger hydrophobic side chains on cyclosporin residues 1, 4, 6, and 8 and a smaller one on residue 7, although with no effect on the residue 5 side chain; moreover, larger hydrophobic side chains on other residues 2, 3, 10, and 11 (outside the in vitro-defined Pgp binding domain) also favor the eventual inhibition of Pgp function. The N-desmethylation of any of the seven N-methylated amides, as naturally occurring in numerous cyclosporins, regularly leads to a decreased Pgp inhibitory activity (Pgp-InhA), up to its abrogation if it occurs at residues 4 and 9. Nevertheless, despite unfavorable use of [Thr(2)] and [Leu(10)] residues, all [D-Hiv(8)] analogues whose lead is SDZ 214-103 show a large Pgp-InhA. The SAR for Pgp inhibition by cyclosporins are thus very complex. Because CsA and SDZ 214-103 show largely different conformations when free in solution, but remarkably similar ones when bound to the cytosolic cyclophilins, SAR for Pgp inhibition must similarly include requirements for occurrence of suitable conformers for insertion in the cell membrane, sufficient conformational plasticity for gaining access to Pgp binding sites, and an adequate conformer structure there to achieve such binding with a high enough affinity and possibly escape from sequestration on cyclophilins.

Coordination between the nucleotide-binding site and the converter domain of myosin is essential for its ATP-dependent motor activities. To unveil the communication pathway between these two sites, we investigated contact between side chains of Phe-482 in the relay helix and Gly-680 in the SH1-SH2 helix. F482A myosin, in which Phe-482 was changed to alanine with a smaller side chain, was not functional in vivo. In vitro, F482A myosin did not move actin filaments and the Mg2+-ATPase activity of F482A myosin was hardly activated by actin. Phosphate burst and tryptophan fluorescence analyses, as well as fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements to estimate the movements of the lever arm domain, indicated that the transition from the open state to the closed state, which precedes ATP hydrolysis, is very slow. In contrast, F482A/G680F doubly mutated myosin was functional in vivo and in vitro. The fact that a larger side chain at the 680th position suppresses the defects of F482A myosin suggests that the defects are caused by insufficient contact between side chains of Ala-482 and Gly-680. Thus, the contact between these two side chains appears to play an important role in the coordinated conformational changes and subsequent ATP hydrolysis.

Loop 1, a flexible surface loop in the myosin motor domain, comprises in part the transducer region that lies near the nucleotide-binding site and is proposed from structural studies to be responsible for the kinetic tuning of product release following ATP hydrolysis (1). Biochemical studies have shown that loop 1 affects the affinity of actin-myosin-II for ADP, motility and the V(max) of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity, possibly through P(i) release (2-8). To test the influence of loop 1 on the mammalian class I myosin, Myo1b, chimeric molecules in which (i) loop 1 of a truncated form of Myo1b, Myo1b1IQ, was replaced with either loop 1 from other myosins; (ii) loop 1 was replaced with glycine; or (iii) some amino acids in the loop were substituted with alanine and were expressed in baculovirus, and their interactions with actin and nucleotide were evaluated. The steady-state actin-activated ATPase activity; rate of ATP-induced dissociation of actin from Myo1b1IQ; rate of ADP release from actin-Myo1b1IQ; and the affinity of actin for Myo1b1IQ and Myo1b1IQ.ADP differed in the chimeras versus wild type, indicating that loop 1 has a much wider range of effects on the coupling between actin and nucleotide binding events than previously thought. In particular, the biphasic ATP-induced dissociation of actin from actin-Myo1b1IQ was significantly altered in the chimeras. This provided evidence that loop 1 contributes to the accessibility of the nucleotide pocket and is involved in the integration of information from the actin-, nucleotide-, gamma-P(i)-, and calmodulin-binding sites and predicts that loop 1 modulates the load dependence of the motor.
