The ATPase activity of chicken gizzard myosin was studied by varying the KCl concentration in the reaction medium. The following was thus found: (a) A sharp depression of the activity occurred when the KCl concentration was reduced to less than 0.3 M, showing the minimum activity around 0.15 M KCl. (b) The activity depression was removed by addition of urea or bay papain-digestion, but not by addition of p-chloromercuribenzoate. (c) In the KCl concentration where the activity depression occurred, the ATPase reaction proceeded in two distinct phases; the activity was relatively high in the early phase of the reaction and declined into the later phase where the steady state reaction took place. (d) In the KCl concentrations higher than that particular concentration or in the presence of urea, the ATPase reaction proceeded in one phase. (e) The temperature dependence of the ATPase activity in the early phase was of an ordinary magnitude being approximately equal to that of the ATPase activity in 0.6 M KCl. In contrast, the temperature dependence of the activity in the later phase was unusually small. Gizzard myosin in various concentrations of KCl was also examined by measuring the turbidity and the light-scattering intensity, and by observation under an electron microscope. The following was thus found: (a) In the KCl concentration where the activity depression occurred, there was a stagnation in the turbidity decrease as the KCl concentration was gradually increased and also the formation of "thick filaments," each of which was approximately 0.6-0.9 micron in length and 20-30 nm in diameter with no central "bare zone." (b) Addition of ATP induced dissociation of the thick filaments, and the dissociation occurred during the early phase of the ATPaseeaction. (c) Moreover, the temperature dependence of the ATP-induced dissociation rate was approximately equal to that of the ATPase activity in the early phase. On the basis of the findings mentioned above, it is concluded that the activity depression results from the ATP-induced dissociation of myosin filaments. Moreover, since high concentrations of KCl or urea also caused dissociation of myosin filaments and yet did not produce the activity depression, it was strongly suggested that gizzard myosin in the ATP-dissociated form must be different from that in the urea- or KCl-dissociated form, probably in the physical state of some myosin aggregates which were not detectable by the physical methods we used. As a side-observation, gizzard myosin filaments formed in the presence of ADP were found to be unusually long (longer than 2 micron), and they looked very similar to the particular filaments of skeletal myosin that were reported, by Moos, to be formed in the absence of the C protein.

The Mg2+-dependent ATPase (adenosine 5'-triphosphatase) mechanism of myosin and subfragment 1 prepared from frog leg muscle was investigated by transient kinetic technique. The results show that in general terms the mechanism is similar to that of the rabbit skeletal-muscle myosin ATPase. During subfragment-1 ATPase activity at 0-5 degrees C pH 7.0 and I0.15, the predominant component of the steady-state intermediate is a subfragment-1-products complex (E.ADP.Pi). Binary subfragment-1-ATP (E.ATP) and subfragment-1-ADP (E.ADP) complexes are the other main components of the steady-state intermediate, the relative concentrations of the three components E.ATP, E.ADP.Pi and E.ADP being 5.5:92.5:2.0 respectively. The frog myosin ATPase mechanism is distinguished from that of the rabbit at 0-5 degrees C by the low steady-state concentrations of E.ATP and E.ADP relative to that of E.ADP.Pi and can be described by: E + ATP k' + 1 in equilibrium k' - 1 E.ATP k' + 2 in equilibrium k' - 2 E.ADP.Pi k' + 3 in equilibrium k' - 3 E.ADP + Pi k' + 4 in equilibrium k' - 4 E + ADP. In the above conditions successive forward rate constants have values: k' + 1, 1.1 X 10(5)M-1.S-1; k' + 2 greater than 5s-1; k' + 3, 0.011 s-1; k' + 4, 0.5 s-1; k'-1 is probably less than 0.006s-1. The observed second-order rate constants of the association of actin to subfragment 1 and of ATP-induced dissociation of the actin-subfragment-1 complex are 5.5 X 10(4) M-1.S-1 and 7.4 X 10(5) M-1.S-1 respectively at 2-5 degrees C and pH 7.0. The physiological implications of these results are discussed.

Myosin-like protein was obtained from E. coli by extraction with a sucrose solution and by precipitation with rabbit skeletal actin. The preparation of E. coli myosin-like protein looked very similar, in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoretic pattern, to that of rabbit skeletal myosin. The myosin-like protein was able to reversibly bind to rabbit actin. It had the activities of EDTA-, Ca-, and Mg-ATPases. The product in the EDTA-ATPase reaction catalyzed by the myosin-like protein was identified as ADP by ion exchange chromatography. The Mg-ATPase activity of E. coli myosin-like protein was activated by either rabbit actin or E. coli actin-like protein though the activation was much stronger by the latter. However, the myosin-like protein did not exhibit superprecipitation either with rabbit actin or with E. coli actin-like protein. Actin-like protein was also obtained from E. coli by essentially the same procedures as those described for preparation of rabbit skeletal actin. E. coli actin-like protein was capable of activating Mg-ATPase of rabbit myosin, and also of superprecipitation with rabbit myosin. Extraction from both the whole cells and the membrane fraction of E. coli strongly suggested that the myosin-like protein and the actin-like protein are both localized in the membrane fraction rather than in the cytoplasmic fraction.

Myosin was purified from the flight muscles of a flying (pigeon) and a nonflying (fowl) bird. Ki (ADP) of myosin ATPase of pigeon is higher, but the Km (ATP) is lower than that of fowl. The specific activity (mumole of Pi liberated/min/mg protein) is higher for the fowl. A0.5 (CaCl2) of myosin of both pigeon and fowl is similar. However, the two proteins differ in their interactions with ADP, ATP and p-chloromercuribenzoate. The two proteins have the same tyrosine, tryptophan and sulfhydryl contents. The electrophoretic patterns of the two myosins on SDS-polyacrylamide gels are different. These studies show significant molecular differences in the myosin derived from the flight muscles of a flying (pigeon) and a nonflying (fowl) bird.

Glycerol-treated muscle fiber bundles were fixed at their rest length in 50 mM KC1, 2 mM MgC1(2), and 10 micron CaC1(2) at pH 7.8 and 0 degrees C in the presence of sufficient amounts of ATP, creatine kinase, and creatine phosphate. The fiber bundles were stretched linearly with time for 0.3 s at a constant amplitude, suddenly released, then fixed at the rest length for a constant time interval (alpha seconds). The stretch-release cycle was repeated, and the ATPase activity (the rate of ADP liberation) [EC 3.6.1.3] was measured. It was found that: 1. ATPase was activated by repeated stretch-release. As repetitive stretch-release of 1--2% of the rest length caused maximum activation, we usually selected a value of 2.5% of the rest length. The activation of ATPase was found to be a function of the duration, alpha, of the isometric phase after sudden release from stretching. The ATPase activity of fiber bundles was almost unaffected when they were oscillated by a simple stretch-release without an isometric phase after the sudden release (alpha=0). 2. The ATPase activity of oscillated muscle fibers increased with increase in the value of alpha, reached a maximal level, then decreased gradually with further increase of alpha to a value slightly larger than that of static fibers. At 0 degrees C, the value of alpha for the maximum activation was observed at about 2 s, and the maximum activity was about 2.5 times that of static fibers. At 20 degrees C, the alpha value for maximum activation was about 0.5 s, and the maximum activity was about 1.8 times that of static fibers. 3. The time course of ADP liberation after one stretch-release cycle could be easily calculated from the ATPase activity of the summed durations of the isometric phase, alpha, assuming that the ATPase activation was turned off and on by the stretching and release, respectively, and that the state of cross-bridges immediately after the stretch-release was independent of alpha of the cycle. The rate of ADP liberation after stretch-release thus obtained showed a short lag phase, a sigmoidal increase, a decrease to almost zero, then a return to nearly the original level (the rate of static fibers). About 1.3 mol of ATP per mol of myosin was hydrolyzed at both 0 degrees C and 20 degrees C during one cycle of the changes in the rate of ADP liberation.

The apparent second-order rate constant, ka-2, of actin binding to a myosin-ATP state (M*.ATP) and releasing ATP to the medium has been determined by two methods. The first was the measurement of the amount of ATP released when actin was added to the intermediate state, M*.ATP; the second was the measurement of oxygen exchange between ATP and HOH. A quantitative treatment of ATP in equilibrium HOH exchange is given to allow extraction of elementary rate constants from the data. Agreement between the two methods was good and at low ionic strength and 23 degrees C, ka-2 is 6 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 which is about one-third the value of the apparent second-order rate constant, ka4, of actin binding to the myosin product state (M**.ADP.Pi). The determination of ka-2 allows a lower limit of 6 s-1 to be placed upon the first-order rate of ATP release from AM.ATP. This is to be compared with a value of less than or equal to 1.5 X 10(-4) s-1 for the equivalent steps of the myosin scheme; thus actin enhances the rate by a factor of 4 X 10(4) or more. A greater proportion of the bound ATP is released to the medium as ATP with increasing actin concentration. This reflects the contribution to rate limitation at saturating actin concentration of steps between myosin states dissociated from actin.

Inhibition of the myosin ATPase by vanadate ion (Vi) has been studied in 90 mM NaCl/5 mM MgCl2/20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, at 25 degrees C. Although the onset of inhibition during the assay is slow and dependent upon Vi concentration (kapp approximately 0.3 M-1 s-1), the final level of inhibition approaches 100%, provided the Vi concentration is in slight excess over the concentration of ATPase sites. Inhibition is not reversible by dialysis or the addition of reducing agents. The source of this irreversible inhibition consists of the formation of a stable, inactive complex with the composition M . ADP . Vi (where M represents a single myosin active site). The complex has been isolated, and its mechanism of formation from M, ADP, and Vi has been studied. Omission of ATP increases the rate of formation by about 35-fold (kapp approximately 11 M-1 s-1), yet this rate is still low in comparison with the rates of simple protein-ligand association reactions. This slowness is interpreted in terms of a rate-limited isomerization step that follows the association of M+, ADP, and Vi: M+ . ADP . Vi leads to M+. ADP . Vi (+ indicates the inactive product of the isomerization). The properties of M.ADP.Vi are compared with those of the ATPase intermediate M**.ADP . Pi, and the possible role of Vi as an analog of Pi is discussed.

We have investigated the steps in the actomyosin ATPase cycle that determine the maximum ATPase rate (Vmax) and the binding between myosin subfragment one (S-1) and actin which occurs when the ATPase activity is close to Vmax. We find that the forward rate constant of the initial ATP hydrolysis (initial Pi burst) is about 5 times faster than the maximum turnover rate of the actin S-1 ATPase. Thus, another step in the cycle must be considerably slower than the forward rate of the initial Pi burst. If this slower step occurs only when S-1 is complexed with actin, as originally predicted by the Lymn-Taylor model, the ATPase activity and the fraction of S-1 bound to actin in the steady state should increase almost in parallel as the actin concentration is increased. As measured by turbidity determined in the stopped-flow apparatus, the fraction of S-1 bound to actin, like the ATPase activity, shows a hyperbolic dependence on actin concentration, approaching 100% asymptotically. However, the actin concentration required so that 50% of the S-1 is bound to actin is about 4 times greater than the actin concentration required for half-maximal ATPase activity. Thus, as previously found at 0 degrees C, at 15 degrees C much of the S-1 is dissociated from actin when the ATPase is close to Vmax, showing that a slow first-order transition which follows the initial Pi burst (the transition from the refractory to the nonrefractory state) must be the slowest step in the ATPase cycle. Stopped-flow studies also reveal that the steady-state turbidity level is reached almost instantaneously after the S-1, actin, and ATP are mixed, regardless of the order of mixing. Thus, the binding between S-1 and actin which is observed in the steady state is due to a rapid equilibrium between S-1--ATP and acto--S-1--ATP which is shifted toward acto-S-1--ATP at high actin concentration. Furthermore, both S-1--ATP and S-1--ADP.Pi (the state occurring immediately after the initial Pi burst) appear to have the same binding constant to actin. Thus, at high actin concentration both S-1--ATP and S-1--ADP.Pi are in rapid equilibrium with their respective actin complexes. Although at very high actin concentration almost complete binding of S-1--ATP and S-1--ADP.Pi to actin occurs, there is no inhibition of the ATPase activity at high actin concentration. This strongly suggests that both the initial Pi burst and the slow rate-limiting transition which follows (the transition from the refractory to the nonrefractory state) occur at about the same rates whether the S-1 is bound to or dissociated from actin. We, therefore, conclude that S-1 does not have to dissociate from actin each time an ATP molecule is hydrolyzed.

The hydrolysis of Mg2+-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) by heavy meromyosin has been studied between +20 and -15 degrees C, especially in the low-temperature range, in a medium containing 30% (v/v) ethylene glycol by fluorometric, spectrophotometric, and potentiometric measurements. The time course of the fluorescence changes of the enzyme during the reaction depends markedly on the temperature in consequence of large differences between the activation energies of the various steps. The observed kinetics have been analyzed according to the simplified scheme of Bagshaw & Trentham [Bagshaw, C. R., & Trentham, D. R. (1974) Biochem. J. 141, 331-349]. The following results have been obtained. (1) The rate-limiting step of the reaction changes in this temperature range; at 20 degrees C M**.ADP.Pi is the predominant steady-state complex, and M*.ADP predominates at -15 degrees C, with a half-life of approximately 10 min. (2) As expected, on the basis that it is the dissociation of the M*.ADP complex which becomes rate limiting at low temperature, one observes, in the pre-steady-state below 0 degrees C, both a proton burst and a lag phase in ADP release. (3) At low temperature, the equilibrium M*.ATP in equilibrium M**.ADP.Pi is displaced to the left All the kinetic data obtained in this study are compatible with a simple pathway for the Mg2+-ATP hydrolysis by myosin and with sequential release of the reaction products.

Studies with reagents that crosslink two thiol groups have shown that it is possible to trap nucleotides at the active site of myosin chymotryptic subfragment 1. Subfragment 1 incorporates nearly stoichiometric quantities of [14C]ATP or [14C]ADP in a manner that depends linearly on the extent of inactivation by either N,N'-p-phenylenedimaleimide or Co(II)phenanthroline/[Co(III)(phenanthroline)2CO3]+ complexes. The incorporated radioactive nucleotide is retained after gel filtration, even when the enzyme derivatives are stored in the presence of EDTA or nonradioactive nucleotides (t 1/2 approximately 5 days). The nucleotide incorporated is not covalently bound because HClO4 denaturation allows immediate release of bound nucleotide. The nucleotide retained is ADP because the gamma-phosphate of [gamma-32P]ATP is lost after trapping. Subfragment 1 inactivated as above does not bind the competitive inhibitor adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate, indicating that the active site is blocked. It is proposed that a jawlike nucleotide cleft closes on MgADP or MgATP, which can be locked shut by crosslinking two thiol groups by reaction with N,N'-p-phenylenedimaleimide or cobalt phenanthroline complexes.
