چکیده
Creation of new biocompatible nanomaterials, which can exhibit the specific biological effects, is an important complex problem that requires the use of last accomplishments of biotechnology. The effect of pristine water-soluble fullerene C60 on ATPase activity and superprecipitation reaction of rabbit skeletal muscle natural actomyosin has been revealed, namely an increase of actomyosin superprecipitation and Mg2+, Ca(2+)- and K(+)-ATPase activity by fullerene was investigated. We conclude that this finding offers a real possibility for the regulation of contraction-relaxation of skeletal muscle with fullerene C60.

Interaction of flavonoid compounds with contractile proteins of skeletal muscle.
Flavonoids (quercetin, rutin) influence ATPase activity and actomyosin superprecipitation. Low concentrations (below 20 mumol/l) of flavonoids were found to cause conformational changes in the myosin structure accompanied by an increase in ATPase activity. At higher concentrations an inhibitory action of flavonoids on both ATPase activity and actomyosin superprecipitation occurred. Conformation...
متن کاملSuperprecipitation is a model for in vitro contraction superior to ATPase activity.
We investigated which activity of myosin B (natural actomyosin), super-precipitation or ATPase, is better suited as a parameter for measuring in vitro contraction with emphasis on the response of myosin B to Sr2+. The Sr2+ concentration giving half-maximum (KSr2+) binding of Sr2+ to cardiac troponin was not different from that to skeletal troponin, whether the troponins were contained in the ac...
متن کاملPotent stimulation of myofilament force and ATPase activity of skeletal muscle by eudistomin M, a novel Ca(++)-sensitizing agent from a Caribbean tunicate.
In the course of our survey of biologically active compounds from natural sources, eudistomins were isolated from a Caribbean tunicate Eudistoma olivaceum. In the present experiments, eudistomin M (Eud-M, > 10(-5) M) caused a concentration-dependent increase in the contractile response of skinned fibers from guinea pig skeletal psoas muscles to Ca++. The superprecipitation and ATPase activity o...
متن کاملPowerful activation of skeletal muscle actomyosin ATPase by goniodomin A is highly sensitive to troponin/tropomyosin complex.
Goniodomin A has been shown to cause the conformational change of actin to modify actomyosin ATPase activity. Goniodomin A induced a potent stimulation of the actomyosin ATPase activities of the actin-myosin reconstituted system and natural actomyosin in the range of 10(-8) to 10(-7) M. When the concentration was increased above 10(-7) M, actomyosin ATPase activity was decreased. Interestingly,...

The relationship between ATP-ase activity and the superprecipitation of actomyosin which was extracted from the rat's uterine muscle was investigated. Results were as follows: 1) The superprecipitation occurred in the wide range of KCI concentration, 0.05-0.20 M, and particularly strongly in the range of 0.08-0.12 M. 2) In this range of KCl concentration, actomyosin-ATP ase activities were near...
