Ultra-fast force-clamp spectroscopy data on the interaction between skeletal muscle myosin and actin.

ABSTRACT: Ultrafast force-clamp spectroscopy is a single molecule technique based on laser tweezers with sub-millisecond and sub-nanometer resolution. The technique has been successfully applied to investigate the rapid conformational changes that occur when a myosin II motor from skeletal muscle interacts with an actin filament. Here, we share data on the kinetics of such interaction and experimental records collected under different forces [1]. The data can be valuable for researchers interested in the mechanosensitive properties of myosin II, both from an experimental and modeling point of view. The data is related to the research article "ultrafast force-clamp spectroscopy of single molecules reveals load dependence of myosin working stroke" [2].

Fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C regulates fast skeletal muscle contraction

Project description:Fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C (fMyBP-C) is one of three MyBP-C paralogs and is predominantly expressed in fast skeletal muscle. Mutations in the gene that encodes fMyBP-C, MYBPC2, is associated with distal arthrogryposis, while fMyBP-C protein is reduced in diseased muscle. However, the functional and structural roles of fMyBP-C in skeletal muscle remain unclear. To address this gap, we generated a homozygous fMyBP-C knockout mouse (C2-/-) and characterized it, both in vivo and in vitro. Ablation of fMyBP-C was benign in terms of muscle weight, fiber type, cross-sectional area, and sarcomere ultrastructure. However, grip strength and plantar-flexor muscle strength were significantly decreased in C2-/- compared to WT. Peak isometric tetanic force (Po) and isotonic speed of contraction were significantly reduced in isolated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) from C2-/- mice. In EDL muscles of C2-/- mice, small-angle X-ray diffraction revealed significant increase in equatorial intensity ratio (I1.1/I1.0) during contraction, indicating a greater degree of myosin head shift towards actin while MLL4 layer-line intensity was decreased at rest, indicating less ordered myosin heads at rest. Interfilament lattice spacing was also significantly increased in C2-/- EDL muscle compared to WT. Consistent with these findings, we observed a significant reduction of steady-state isometric force during Ca2+ activations, myofilament calcium sensitivity, sinusoidal stiffness in skinned EDL muscle fibers from C2-/- mice. Finally, C2-/- muscles displayed disruption of inflammatory and regenerative genes and increased muscle damage upon mechanical overload. Together, our data suggest that fMyBP-C is essential for maximal speed and force of contraction, sarcomere integrity, and calcium sensitivity in fast twitch muscle.

Two independent mechanical events in the interaction cycle of skeletal muscle myosin with actin.

Project description:During skeletal muscle contraction, regular arrays of actin and myosin filaments slide past each other driven by the cyclic ATP-dependent interaction of the motor protein myosin II (the cross-bridge) with actin. The rate of the cross-bridge cycle and its load-dependence, defining shortening velocity and energy consumption at the molecular level, vary widely among different isoforms of myosin II. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We have addressed this question by applying a single-molecule approach to rapidly ( approximately 300 mus) and precisely ( approximately 0.1 nm) detect acto-myosin interactions of two myosin isoforms having large differences in shortening velocity. We show that skeletal myosin propels actin filaments, performing its conformational change (working stroke) in two steps. The first step ( approximately 3.4-5.2 nm) occurs immediately after myosin binding and is followed by a smaller step ( approximately 1.0-1.3 nm), which occurs much faster in the fast myosin isoform than in the slow one, independently of ATP concentration. On the other hand, the rate of the second phase of the working stroke, from development of the latter step to dissociation of the acto-myosin complex, is very similar in the two isoforms and depends linearly on ATP concentration. The finding of a second mechanical event in the working stroke of skeletal muscle myosin provides the molecular basis for a simple model of actomyosin interaction. This model can account for the variation, in different fiber types, of the rate of the cross-bridge cycle and provides a common scheme for the chemo-mechanical transduction within the myosin family.

Fast skeletal myosin binding protein-C regulates fast skeletal muscle contraction

Project description:Myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C) is a thick filament regulatory protein found exclusively in the C-zone of the A band in the sarcomeres of vertebrate striated muscle. Cardiac, slow skeletal and fast skeletal MyBP-C (fMyBP-C) paralogs perform different functions. However, the functional role of fMyBP-C in fast skeletal muscle is completely unknown. Genetic mutations in human fMyBP-C lead to skeletal myopathies. All three isoforms share similar protein structures, but likely differ substantially in terms of expression and function, which may serve the distinct physiologies of fast and slow muscle fibers. In the present study, we developed a novel fMyBP-C global knockout (KO) mouse model (C2-/-) to investigate the structural, functional, molecular, cellular and physiological roles of fMyBP-C in skeletal muscle.

Fast skeletal muscle troponin activation increases force of mouse fast skeletal muscle and ameliorates weakness due to nebulin-deficiency.

Project description:The effect of the fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, CK-2066260, on calcium-induced force development was studied in skinned fast skeletal muscle fibers from wildtype (WT) and nebulin deficient (NEB KO) mice. Nebulin is a sarcomeric protein that when absent (NEB KO mouse) or present at low levels (nemaline myopathy (NM) patients with NEB mutations) causes muscle weakness. We studied the effect of fast skeletal troponin activation on WT muscle and tested whether it might be a therapeutic mechanism to increase muscle strength in nebulin deficient muscle. We measured tension-pCa relations with and without added CK-2066260. Maximal active tension in NEB KO tibialis cranialis fibers in the absence of CK-2066260 was ?60% less than in WT fibers, consistent with earlier work. CK-2066260 shifted the tension-calcium relationship leftwards, with the largest relative increase (up to 8-fold) at low to intermediate calcium levels. This was a general effect that was present in both WT and NEB KO fiber bundles. At pCa levels above ?6.0 (i.e., calcium concentrations <1 µM), CK-2066260 increased tension of NEB KO fibers to beyond that of WT fibers. Crossbridge cycling kinetics were studied by measuring k(tr) (rate constant of force redevelopment following a rapid shortening/restretch). CK-2066260 greatly increased k(tr) at submaximal activation levels in both WT and NEB KO fiber bundles. We also studied the sarcomere length (SL) dependence of the CK-2066260 effect (SL 2.1 µm and 2.6 µm) and found that in the NEB KO fibers, CK-2066260 had a larger effect on calcium sensitivity at the long SL. We conclude that fast skeletal muscle troponin activation increases force at submaximal activation in both wildtype and NEB KO fiber bundles and, importantly, that this troponin activation is a potential therapeutic mechanism for increasing force in NM and other skeletal muscle diseases with loss of muscle strength.

Interaction of skeletal-muscle myosin subfragment-1 with the actin-(338-348) peptide.

Project description:The data presented here confirm and provide further experimental evidence that rabbit skeletal-muscle myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) binds to the postulated actin-(338-348) hydrophobic segment [Kabsch, Mannherz, Suck, Pai and Holmes (1990) Nature (London) 347, 37-44] with high affinity in the absence and presence of MgATP. The apparent dissociation constant of the S-1 interaction (5.5 x 10(-7) M) with the actin-(338-348) peptide was of the same order of magnitude as that of the actin-(18-28) binding site (2 x 10(-6) M). In similar conditions, fragmented (27 kDa-50 kDa-20 kDa) S-1 also bound to the peptide. Antibodies directed to the vicinal sequence 348-358 were rapidly eliminated from actin by S-1 interaction and weakened S-1 binding to monomeric or filamentous actin. The antigenic site (348-358) is located very close to the C-terminal S-1-binding site (360-369) and encompasses some residues (Leu-349 and Phe-352) included in the hydrophobic S-1-binding region [Schröder, Manstein, Jahn, Holden, Rayment, Holmes and Spudich (1993) Nature (London) 364, 171-174]. It was observed that anti-[actin-(348-358)] antibodies were also unable to decrease actomyosin ATPase activity, in contrast with previous results obtained with anti-[actin-(18-28)] antibodies [Adams and Reisler (1993) Biochemistry 32, 5051-5056]. The hydrophobic actin-(338-348) peptide used in considerable excess was unable to perturb acto-S-1 and S-1 activities in contrast with results obtained with the N-terminal actin peptide [Kôgler, Moir, Trayer and Ruegg (1991) FEBS Lett. 294, 31-34].

Special Issue: The Actin-Myosin Interaction in Muscle: Background and Overview.

Project description:Muscular contraction is a fundamental phenomenon in all animals; without it life as we know it would be impossible. The basic mechanism in muscle, including heart muscle, involves the interaction of the protein filaments myosin and actin. Motility in all cells is also partly based on similar interactions of actin filaments with non-muscle myosins. Early studies of muscle contraction have informed later studies of these cellular actin-myosin systems. In muscles, projections on the myosin filaments, the so-called myosin heads or cross-bridges, interact with the nearby actin filaments and, in a mechanism powered by ATP-hydrolysis, they move the actin filaments past them in a kind of cyclic rowing action to produce the macroscopic muscular movements of which we are all aware. In this special issue the papers and reviews address different aspects of the actin-myosin interaction in muscle as studied by a plethora of complementary techniques. The present overview provides a brief and elementary introduction to muscle structure and function and the techniques used to study it. It goes on to give more detailed descriptions of what is known about muscle components and the cross-bridge cycle using structural biology techniques, particularly protein crystallography, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It then has a quick look at muscle mechanics and it summarises what can be learnt about how muscle works based on the other studies covered in the different papers in the special issue. A picture emerges of the main molecular steps involved in the force-producing process; steps that are also likely to be seen in non-muscle myosin interactions with cellular actin filaments. Finally, the remarkable advances made in studying the effects of mutations in the contractile assembly in causing specific muscle diseases, particularly those in heart muscle, are outlined and discussed.

Ultrafast Force-Clamp Spectroscopy of Microtubule-Binding Proteins.

Project description:Optical trapping has been instrumental for deciphering translocation mechanisms of the force-generating cytoskeletal proteins. However, studies of the dynamic interactions between microtubules (MTs) and MT-associated proteins (MAPs) with no motor activity are lagging. Investigating the motility of MAPs that can diffuse along MT walls is a particular challenge for optical-trapping assays because thermally driven motions rely on weak and highly transient interactions. Three-bead, ultrafast force-clamp (UFFC) spectroscopy has the potential to resolve static and diffusive translocations of different MAPs with sub-millisecond temporal resolution and sub-nanometer spatial precision. In this report, we present detailed procedures for implementing UFFC, including setup of the optical instrument and feedback control, immobilization and functionalization of pedestal beads, and preparation of MT dumbbells. Example results for strong static interactions were generated using the Kinesin-7 motor CENP-E in the presence of AMP-PNP. Time resolution for MAP-MT interactions in the UFFC assay is limited by the MT dumbbell relaxation time, which is significantly longer than reported for analogous experiments using actin filaments. UFFC, however, provides a unique opportunity for quantitative studies on MAPs that glide along MTs under a dragging force, as illustrated using the kinetochore-associated Ska complex.

Molecular force spectroscopy with a DNA origami-based nanoscopic force clamp.

Project description:Forces in biological systems are typically investigated at the single-molecule level with atomic force microscopy or optical and magnetic tweezers, but these techniques suffer from limited data throughput and their requirement for a physical connection to the macroscopic world. We introduce a self-assembled nanoscopic force clamp built from DNA that operates autonomously and allows massive parallelization. Single-stranded DNA sections of an origami structure acted as entropic springs and exerted controlled tension in the low piconewton range on a molecular system, whose conformational transitions were monitored by single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer. We used the conformer switching of a Holliday junction as a benchmark and studied the TATA-binding protein-induced bending of a DNA duplex under tension. The observed suppression of bending above 10 piconewtons provides further evidence of mechanosensitivity in gene regulation.

Motion of myosin head domains during activation and force development in skeletal muscle.

Project description:Muscle contraction is driven by a change in the structure of the head domain of myosin, the "working stroke" that pulls the actin filaments toward the midpoint of the myosin filaments. This movement of the myosin heads can be measured very precisely in intact muscle cells by X-ray interference, but until now this technique has not been applied to physiological activation and force generation following electrical stimulation of muscle cells. By using this approach, we show that the long axes of the myosin head domains are roughly parallel to the filaments in resting muscle, with their center of mass offset by approximately 7 nm from the C terminus of the head domain. The observed mass distribution matches that seen in electron micrographs of isolated myosin filaments in which the heads are folded back toward the filament midpoint. Following electrical stimulation, the heads move by approximately 10 nm away from the filament midpoint, in the opposite direction to the working stroke. The time course of this motion matches that of force generation, but is slower than the other structural changes in the myosin filaments on activation, including the loss of helical and axial order of the myosin heads and the change in periodicity of the filament backbone. The rate of force development is limited by that of attachment of myosin heads to actin in a conformation that is the same as that during steady-state isometric contraction; force generation in the actin-attached head is fast compared with the attachment step.
