Cross-reinnvervation of fast (extensor digitorum longus) and slow (soleus) twitch muscles of the rabbit showed essentially complete fast to slow and slow to fast conversion, respectively, 11-12 mo after surgery with respect to a number of physiological parameters including intrinsic shortening, velocity, and isometric twitch time to peak. There was pronounced bu incomplete biochemical conversion as judged by Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum, myosin ATPase, alkali lability, and light chain complement. The question of trophic substances of neural origin is discussed in light of the fact that chronic stimulation for 15 wk of a fast muscle produces complete biochemical and physiological conversion to the slow type.

The rate of enzymic reaction of ATP, ITP, GTP with myosin is studied in the presence of potassiu, ammonium and calcium ions in H2O--D2O solutions. There is no kinetic isotope effect of ITPase and GTPase reaction in the neutral pH region (VHVD = 1). The value VH/VD for the ATPase reaction in the pH range from 6.5 to 8.5 with all cations studied varies from 1.05 to 1.26. Such changes of myosin enzymic activity in D2O infer that small changes in the interaction of subunits is not the decisive one in the regulation of myosin ATPase. The equality of isotope effects in potassium salts and ammonium solution suggests that a specific effect of ammonium ion as a proton donor affects the ATPase reaction of myosin. The relationship between the value of isotope effect and D2O concentration in solution in non-linear. The shape of concentration curve suggests essential conformational changes of myosin during ATP hydrolysis.

Cardiac myosin obtained from atria had a higher Ca2+-activated ATPase activity than did cardiac myosin from ventricles in various species of animals and in humans. The increased specific activity of Ca2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of atrial myosin appeared to correlate with the level of the activity of ventricular myosin ATPase in the animal, since the same order in ATPase activity, as observed in ventricular myosins from various animals, was noted in atrial myosins. The enzymatic properties of atrial myosin also were characterized by no activation by N-ethylmaleimide, low activating energy, and a lower rate of inactivation at alkaline pH compared with the same properties of ventricular myosin. These findings suggest a difference in the myosin molecule at or near the active site, involving some sulfhydryl groups, between the two types of cardiac myosin. The Mg2+-activated ATPase activity, both in the presence and absence of actin (which is thought to be closely related to the basic contraction mechanism), also was enhanced in atrial myosin. Thus, the ATPase activities of atrial and ventricular myosins were different with special reference to the reaction pathway involving calcium and magnesium ions and appear to account for the difference in the velocity of contraction between the atria and the ventricles.

While modification of six lysyl residues causes a near maximal decrease in Ca2+, K+, and actin + Mg2+ -activated myosin ATPase activities in rabbit skeletal muscle myosin, it takes nearly twice this number of modified lysyl groups to cause a similar alteration in canine cardiac myosin where trinitrophenylation is nonspecific. It appears that there are several rapidly reacting lysyl residues in cardiac myosin; the active site of cardiac myosin is protected by ATP after modification of a limited number of these rapidly reacting lysyl groups. In both myosins, after a charge modification of these rapidly reacting lysyl groups, 6 in rabbit skeletal muscle myosin and 10 in canine cardiac myosin, there is a decrease in Ca2+, K+, and actin + Mg2+ -stimulation of myosin but an activation of Mg2+ -stimulated myosin ATPase activity, thus making actin + Mg2+ -stimulated myosin ATPase activity more like activation with K+ or Ca2+ as compared to activation with Mg2+ alone.

1 mg/kg L-thyroxine was administered to rats for 14 days to evaluate the potential of the hyperthyroid state to induce heart hypertrophy and its effect on myosin adenosine-triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Evidence of hyperthyroidism such as weight loss, elevation of rectal temperature, increased heart rate and oxygen consumption, was observed in all treated rats. Cardiac enlargement was determined by comparison of wet and dry ventricle weights, myocardial RNA, DNA and protein content. Wet and dry ventricle weights and the level of cardiac RNA and protein were augmented by thyroxine treatment. ATPase activity of cardiac myosin was stimulated as the Ca2+ concentration in the incubation medium increased. No difference was found in Ca2+-activation, salt sensitivity or ATPase activity of unreacted and sulphydrylmodified cardiac myosins from euthyroid or hyperthyroid groups. The results showed that in hyperthyroid rats, in contrast to some other species, the biochemical mechanism responsible for the enhancement of cardiac contractility is not an increased myosin ATPase.

A myosin was isolated from the clonal rat glial cell strain C-6 and compared with rat skeletal muscle myosin. After cell extracts were subjected to gel filtration chromatography in the presence of KI and magnesium pyrophosphate the C-6 myosin was rapidly purified by a procedure similar to that used for skeletal muscle myosin. The C-6 myosin resembles muscle myosin both physically and enzymatically. It contains heavy chains of 200,000 daltons and two classes of light chains of 17,000 and 19,000 daltons in approximately equal molar ratios. This myosin forms bipolar thick filaments in 0.1 M KCl and binds reversibly to skeletal muscle F-actin, the binding being inhibited by MgATP. Skeletal muscle F-actin stimulates the C-6 myosin adenosine triphosphatase 2- to 3-fold in the presence of KCl and Mg2+. The action activation of muscle myosin ATPase at low ionic strength is 10-fold greater than that of C-6 myosin. Ca2+ and EDTA stimulated the ATPase activities of both enzymes. When assayed in the presence of 0.6 M KCl and 1 mM EDTA the skeletal muscle myocin ATPase demonstrates substrate saturation while the C-6 myosin enzyme activity is stimulated by ATP concentrations above 2.5 mM.

70 human hearts were studied less than 36 hours after death. The apex, and in some cases other parts of the myocardium were homogenized, DNA, hydroxyproline content, myofibrillar Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase were measured. In normal hearts the DNA and collagen content were 372 +/- 9 mg and 36 +/- 7 mg. Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase of the myofibrils prepared from these hearts have shown the same specific activity (35 +/- 5 and 34 +/- 6 nmol/min./mg) as those from fresh biopsies taken during open-chest surgery. The heart weight correlates with the DNA content (r= + 0.58 -p less than 0.01) and with the myofibrillar ATPase (r= - 0.33 - p less than 0.02) but not with the DNA concentration nor with the collagen content or concentration. The main result of this study was the presence of a negative correlation between the DNA content of the heart and the Mg2+ or Ca2+ myofibrillar ATPase (r= - 0.31, p less than 0.05 - r= - 0.45, p less than 0.01). This correlation was analysed with reference to the histological and biochemical studies published by several authors in human or experimental heart hypertrophy and it was suggested that in human heart hypertrophy the decrease of the myofibrillar or myosin ATPase is a direct consequence of the high degree of polyploidy of the muscular cells observed in this condition.

The simplest interacting unit of actomyosin, viz., single myosin heads (subfragment 1) with actin monomers, has been studied at physiological ionic strength, by isolating the actin molecules from each other on a solid support. The interaction is characterized by a binding constant of 10(5) to 10(6) M-1 in the temperature range 4-30degrees C. It is endothermic with a standard enthalpy of 24 +/- 10 kcal mol-1, and a standard entropy of 110 +/- 40 eu. It is thus, like many protein-protein association processes, entropy-driven. Despite the high affinity of the association, which is comparable in its binding constant to that of subfragment 1 with F-actin, there is only very small activation of myosin ATPase. The ionic-strength dependence of the interaction shows unusual features. Binding of the proteins of the relaxing system to the monomeric actin was also examined: troponin binds both in the presence and absence of calcium ions, but neither tropomyosin nor the tropomyosin-troponin complex was found to bind significantly. Monomeric actin has also been examined as a function of ionic strength by spectroscopic methods; it appears that conformational differences between the G and the F state are the consequence of polymerization, and not of the change in ionic strength required to being the conversion about.

The effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) on the ATPase activity and sulphydryl group reactivity of mammalian skeletal muscle actomyosin has been studied. 5HT inhibited the Mg2+-activated but not the Ca2+-activated ATPase activity of actomyosin. It slightly activated myosin ATPase. The sulphydryl groups of actomyosin reacting with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) were blocked by concentrations of 5HT which inhibited the Mg2+-activated ATPase. The significance of the results are discussed in relation to the muscle lesions in the experimental myopathy induced by 5HT and imipramine.

Bovine cardiac myosin ATPase activity was rapidly inactivated by the purine disulfide analog of ATP,6,6'-dithiobis(inosinyl imidodiphosphate). Kinetic investigations showed that this analog acted as a site-specific reagent at 0 degrees with a Ki of 130 muM and a half-life of 8.2 min at saturating inhibitor concentrations. Concentrations (50 to 500 muM) of ATP, adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), or ADP that saturated the active site caused an enhancement in the rate of inactivation, indicating the purine disulfide analog was not reacting at the active site. Under these conditions saturation kinetic data were still observed with Ki values remaining unchanged (120 muM) but with the half-life of inactivation decreasing to 6.0 min (ATP) and 4.6 min (AMP-PNP) at saturating inhibitor concentrations. At concentrations greater than 0.5 mM ATP, AMP-PNP, or ADP there was a decrease in the rate of inactivation, implying protection by these nucleotides. However, saturation kinetics of inactivation could no longer be demonstrated, implying a change in the mechanism of inactivation. A comparison of the inactivation of the Mg2+, Ca2+, and EDTA-ATPase activities of cardiac myosin after modification by the purine disulfide analog showed that the Mg2+- and Ca2+ATPase activities plateaued at approximately 60% and 40%, respectively, while the EDTA-ATPase activity continued to decrease to below 10%. This evidence supports the suggestion that the purine disulfide analog was not reacting at the active site. Equilibrium dialysis experiments were used to measure the binding of [8-3H]AMP-PNP to native cardiac myosin, the thiopurine nucleotide-modified myosin, and the derivative formed by displacing the thiopurine nucleotide by cyanide (thiocyanato-myosin). Native myosin bound a total of 2.1 mol of AMP-PNP with a binding constant of 6.0 X 10(6) M-1. There was a 15 to 40% decrease in the number of AMP-PNP binding sites in the enzyme derivatives, but the active sites appeared not to be blocked since the association constants remained essentially unchanged (KA=3.9 X 10(6) M-1 for thiopurine nucleotide-myosin and 12.0 X 10(6) M-1 for thiocyanato-myosin). The kinetic studies and the binding experiments indicate that the purine disulfide analog reacts at a specific site other than the active site but do not offer support to earlier suggestions from skeletal myosin studies that this site is a possible ATP control site.
