Fibre-type classification of human skeletal muscle into type I and type II fibres is mostly based on their slight or strong staining with the myosin adenosine triphosphatase reaction. In order to evaluate the reliability of this screening technique a combined histochemical and biochemical study was performed on normal and diseased skeletal muscle of human subjects. In the present investigation activities of enzymes which play a role in the aerobic and anaerobic pathways and which can characterize fibre type, were examined in muscle specimens, with no apparent disease of the neuromuscular system. Special attention is given to the maximal activities of phosphofructokinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, the rate limiting enzymes for the regulation of the glycolysis and glyconeogenesis, respectively. A most important feature of the biochemical findings is the constancy of the activity ratios of the examined enzymes. From these results and from the histochemical results it can be concluded that in apparently normal adult human skeletal muscle the ATP-ase technique for type I and type II typing is reliable. For fibres with an intermediate intensity of staining with the myosin ATPase technique of typing it is also necessary to apply other enzyme histochemical techniques.

Mild pulmonic stenosis, induced in dogs by banding the pulmonary artery, elevated right ventricular peak systolic pressure to 60% above the control and elevated right ventricular K+- and Ca2+- activated myosin ATPase activities. In contrast, severe pulmonic stenosis, which elevated right ventricular peak systolic pressure to 300% above the control, did not produce an increase in myosin enzymatic ATPase Vmax values but caused a decrease in myosin activity. Mild aortic stenosis, induced by banding the ascending aorta, forcing a transaortic pressure gradient of 25 mm Hg, caused an elevation in left ventricular muosin ATPase, whereas severe aortic banding, brought about by creating a transaortic pressure gradient of 55 mm Hg, never caused an elevation in left ventricular myosin enzymatic Vmax values, but, like severe pulmonic banding, caused a decrease in K+- and Ca2+- activated myosin activities. Normal left ventricular myosin Vmax values in mumol of PO4/mg-min at 37 degrees C were: K+ = 2.84 +/- 0.22, and Ca2+ = 0.97 +/- 0.14. For right ventricular myosin they were: K+ = 2.15 +/- 0.16, and Ca2+ =0.74 +/- 0.10. Analyses of tissue gases, based on mass spectrometry data, showed that the hypertrophied ventricles had an elevated tissue pCO2 and an elevation in the cGMP/cAMP ratio.

Cardiac myosin from rats exercised 90 or 150 min daily for 8 wk was compared with the myosin from the hearts of matched sedentary controls. The Ca++-ATPase activity was increased 17 percent in rats exercised 90 min and 30 percent in rats exercised 150 min daily. In the exercised group 0.18 M KCl increased the myosin ATPase activity by 50 percent but had no effect in the control group. Ethylene glycol activated the Ca++-ATPase in control myosin preparations, but had no significant effect on myosin from conditioned hearts. Heavy meromyosin (HMM) from conditioned hearts had a higher Ca++-ATPase activity than from controls. Fluorescence with 8-anilinonaphthalene sulfonate (ANS) was increased 30 percent in HMM from conditioned hearts. The results suggest that the increased myosin ATPase activity in the hearts of exercised animals may be due to a local conformational change at or near the active site.

The conformations of the transitory intermediates of the myosin ATPase occurring during the hydrolytic cycle, enzyme without ligand, enzyme-substrate complex and two different forms of enzyme-product complex, have been characterized in terms of numbers and classes of reactive thiol groups based on incorporation of radioactively labeled alkylation reagent. The techniques employed allowed this to be done under steady-state conditions in the presence of high ligand concentrations on intact myosin from rabbit fast skeletal muscles at low ionic strength where the protein is in the gel state as it is in muscle. The binding of a divalent cation (Mg2+ or Ca2+) nucleotide complex exposes thiol-1 as well as thiol-2 groups. The long-lived ATPase intermediate occurring at temperatures above 10 degrees C adopts the same conformation with Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. This intermediate does not protect the thiol-1 and thiol-2 groups but exposes a number of thiol-3 groups which seem to be located distant from the active site. The conformation of the intermediate prevailing in the presence of ATP changes with lowering temperature below 10 degrees C and is identical with that found in the presence of ADP at 0 degree C indicating a change in the rate-limiting step of the hydrolytic cycle. In the absence of divalent cations no such temperature-dependent change in conformation was observed. Evaluation of the activation entropies shows that the structure of the long-lived intermediate occurring above 10 degrees C in the presence of Mg2+ ions goes through a transformation from low to high order at around 20 degrees C. In the case of the monovalent-cation-stimulated ATPase a constant activation energy of around 70 kJ/mol, typical of many enzyme reactions, was found over the entire temperature range from 0--35 degrees C.

1. In a homologous radioimmunoassay for canine ventricular myosin light chains, the following percentages of cross-reactivities were obtained using the dog as a reference: human, 28%; sheep, 21%; cat, 8%; guinea-pig, 7%; rabbit, 5%; and rat, 4%. 2. In a homologous double diffusion immunoassay using specific gamma G to canine cardiac myosin heavy chains, dog cardiac myosin showed immunological identity with human and sheep cardiac myosin but partial identity with myosins of other species. 3. On a 5-20% polyacrylamide gradient, light chain C1 was electrophoretically distinct in some species; light chain C2 was electrophoretically identical in all species. 4. The K+-activated myosin ATPase of small animals was higher than that of larger animals at an alkaline pH; the same was true for Ca2+-activated myosin when assayed at pH 6.3.

Increased afterload causes increased cardiac myosin synthesis and ultimately leads to hypertrophy. Since the latter is associated with altered myosin ATPase activity, it was of interest to study the synthesis of myosin subunits in the acute response to this stress. An in vitro guinea pig heart preparation was used which allowed application of afterload to the right ventricle with unaltered coronary flow, and also permitted measurement of synthesis of myosin heavy chains (HC) and combined light chains (LC) by continuous perfusion with labelled amino acids (3H-lysine and/or 3H-phenylalanine) of constant specific activity. Isolation of 3H-labelled HC and LC with heterologous unlabelled carrier was possible because of identical mobilities of HC's and LC's from unlabelled lamb carrier myosin and 3H-labelled guinea pig myosin. This permitted study of comparative synthesis of the HC and LC in small samples as the single guinea pig right ventricle (100--150 mg) and avoided errors inherent in pooling hearts or in measurement of turnover in the nonsteady state. After 3 h or perfusion, the ratio of synthesis of HC/LC was 2 : 1 in controls. This ratio increased significantly to 3 : 1 in after load. It is possible that the disproportionate increase in HC synthesis may lead to stoichiometric problems in myosin assembly which ultimately effect altered myosin ATPase activity.

When studying enzymic and fluorescence properties of myosin and DTNB-treated myosin in the presence of K+, Na+, Li+, NH4+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations the following results were obtained. By the intrinsic protein fluorescence techniques no essential structural changes of myosin molecule at the dissociation of the DTNB light chain and activation myosin ATPase in the presence of different cations were found. The decrease of K+-EDTA-, the increase of Mg2+-activated and the stability of Ca2+-activated myosin ATPase may be the result of the modification of SH1 or SH2 sulfhydryl groups when treating the DTNB myosin in our conditions. The different level of decrease of the K+- and NH4+-activated myosin. ATPase may be explained by the fact, that myosin sulfhydryl groups have different effects on the activation of its ATPase by these cations.

1. Experiments were carried out to examine the biochemical changes, such as contractile protein biochemistry and membrane bound enzyme alterations associated with skeletal muscles of myd/myd. 2. Our studies demonstrate that there was a progressive decline in myofibrillar ATPase activity, and this decrease is greatest in 30 weeks old animals of myd/myd as compared to controls. 3. The proteolytic activity of myofibrils isolated from myd/myd was significantly higher than controls. 4. There was no significant difference in Ca2+ ATPase activity of myosin and actin-activated myosin ATPase activity of myd/myd and their controls. 5. Mg2+ ATPase and Na(+)+K(+)-ATPase of myodystrophic SL showed significant increase compared to controls. 6. Isoproterenol stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was significantly lower in the SL of dystrophic mice compared to controls. 7. GTP+isoproterenol stimulate adenylate cyclase was significantly higher in control SL and SR when compared to SL and SR isolated from myd/myd. 8. Guanylate cyclase activity was greater in myodystrophic mice both in the absence and presence of Triton X-100. cGMP and cAMP phosphodiesterase activities were greater in dystrophic mice as compared to controls. 9. These observations suggest that there are significant changes in myofibrillar ATPase, myofibrillar protease and membrane bound enzymes of myd/myd compared to control.

The reactive thiol Cys-697 (SH2) in myosin ATPase was labeled with a fluorescent analog of maleimide, 2-(4'-maleimidylanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid (MIANS) (Hiratsuka, T. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 14941-14948). Although the tryptophan fluorescence of myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) was slightly affected by incorporation of the MIANS fluorophore, the tryptophan fluorescence of the resultant S-1 derivative (MIANS-S-1) was enhanced by ATP in a manner similar to that of unlabeled S-1. The quenching of tryptophan fluorescence of MIANS-S-1 was shown to result from a transfer of the excitation energy from tryptophanyl residue(s) to the MIANS fluorophore attached to SH2, which absorbed and fluoresced maximally at 325 and 418 nm, respectively. The energy transfer measurements were performed in the presence of acrylamide and compared to those performed in the absence of the quencher. The energy transfer efficiencies were found to be unaltered by acrylamide, indicating that the observed fluorescence energy transfer is originated exclusively from the tryptophanyl residue(s) that are not affected by acrylamide, i.e. the ATP-sensitive tryptophanyl residue(s) of S-1 (Torgerson, P. M. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 3002-3007). The distance between the tryptophanyl residue(s) and Cys-697 was calculated to be 27 A assuming a single donor-acceptor pair. Trp-510 is proposed to be one of the ATP-sensitive tryptophanyl residues.

To understand how cytokinesis is regulated during mitosis, we tested cyclin-p34cdc2 for myosin-II kinase activity, and investigated the mitotic-specific phosphorylation of myosin-II in lysates of Xenopus eggs. Purified cyclin-p34cdc2 phosphorylated the regulatory light chain of cytoplasmic and smooth muscle myosin-II in vitro on serine-1 or serine-2 and threonine-9, sites known to inhibit the actin-activated myosin ATPase activity of smooth muscle and nonmuscle myosin (Nishikawa, M., J. R. Sellers, R. S. Adelstein, and H. Hidaka. 1984. J. Biol. Chem. 259:8808-8814; Bengur, A. R., A. E. Robinson, E. Appella, and J. R. Sellers. 1987. J. Biol. Chem. 262:7613-7617; Ikebe, M., and S. Reardon. 1990. Biochemistry. 29:2713-2720). Serine-1 or -2 of the regulatory light chain of Xenopus cytoplasmic myosin-II was also phosphorylated in Xenopus egg lysates stabilized in metaphase, but not in interphase. Inhibition of myosin-II by cyclin-p34cdc2 during prophase and metaphase could delay cytokinesis until chromosome segregation is initiated and thus determine the timing of cytokinesis relative to earlier events in mitosis.
