Myosin ATP hydrolysis: a mechanism involving a magnesium chelate complex.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is suggested that under physiological conditions (> 1 mM Mg(2+)) MgATP binds to myosin to form a chelate involving the two reactive sulfhydryl sites (SH(1) and SH(2)). The stability of the chelate structure results in marked inhibition of the myosin ATPase in the presence of millimolar magnesium ion. The inhibitory effect of magnesium ion can be eliminated chemically by blocking either the SH(1) or SH(2) site since this precludes formation of the chelate. In muscle, actin apparently behaves in a similar fashion in that its interaction with myosin causes a disruption of the chelate structure.

The active site of myosin contains a group of highly conserved amino acid residues whose roles in nucleotide hydrolysis and energy transduction might appear to be obvious from the initial structural and kinetic analyses but become less clear on deeper investigation. One such residue is Ser236 (Dictyostelium discoideum myosin II numbering) which was proposed to be involved in a hydrogen transfer...

The effects of magnesium and calcium on the adenosine triphosphate-induced contraction of glycerinated muscle fibers were recently reexamined. Magnesium and calcium were both shown to have a dual effect on the contractility of glycerinated fibers (1). By using myosin B suspensions in place of glycerinated fibers, we compared the dual effect of magnesium on the contractile phenomenon called “sup...

Actin-activated ATP hydrolysis by phosphorylated arterial myosin is Ca2+-dependent at Mg2+ concentrations which allow myosin to bind 2 mol of Ca2+ per mol (S. Chacko and A. Rosenfeld (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 79, 292-296). The possible effects of myosin filament formation and conformational change involving the rod portion of the myosin molecule on actin-myosin interaction and acti...

The structure of the magnesium pyrophosphate complex of the truncated head of Dictyostelium myosin has been determined by molecular replacement at 2.7 8, resolution and refined to a crystallogra hic R-factor of 16.0%. The c stals belong to the orthorhombic space group P21212, where a = 105.2 %, b very similar to that seen when magnesium ADP-beryllium fluoride binds in the active site. The latte...
متن کاملThe effect of actin on the magnesium-activated adenosine triphosphatase of heavy meromyosin.
The evidence is now strong that magnesium plays an important role in the interactions between myosin, actin and ATP which are associated with the physiological activity of muscle. Although calcium activates the adenosine triphosphatase ofboth L-myosin and isolated myofibrils, in the presence of this cation alone neither contraction (Ashley, Arasimavicius & Hass, 1956) nor relaxation (Bendall, 1...
