The effect of nucleotide upon a specific isomerization of actomyosin subfragment 1.

ABSTRACT: The binding of actin to myosin subfragment 1 (S1) has been shown to occur as a two-step reaction [Coates, Criddle & Geeves (1985) Biochem. J. 232, 351-356]. In the first step actin is weakly bound and the second step involves the complex isomerizing to a more tightly bound state. This isomerization can be followed specifically by monitoring the fluorescence of actin that has been covalently labelled with N-(pyren-1-yl)-iodoacetamide at Cys-374 [Geeves, Jeffries & Millar (1986) Biochemistry 25, 8454-8458]. We report here that the presence of nucleotides and nucleotide analogues affects the equilibrium between the strongly bound and weakly bound states (referred to as K2). In the presence of ATP, [gamma-thio]ATP or ADP and vanadate a value of approx. less than 10(-2) was estimated for K2. In the presence of PPi or ADP a value of approx. 2.3 or 10 respectively was obtained. An increase in KCl concentration or the presence of 40% ethylene glycol was found to decrease K2 in the presence of ADP. The data presented here are consistent with the two-step binding model proposed by Geeves, Goody & Gutfreund [(1984) J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 5, 351-361], where it was suggested that the transition between weakly bound and strongly bound states is closely associated with the force-generating event in whole muscle.

Regulation of the acto.myosin subfragment 1 interaction by troponin/tropomyosin. Evidence for control of a specific isomerization between two acto.myosin subfragment 1 states.

Project description:The co-operative binding of myosin subfragment 1 (S1) to reconstituted skeletal-muscle thin filaments has been examined by monitoring the fluorescence of a pyrene probe on Cys-374 of actin. The degree of co-operativity differs when phosphate, sulphate or ADP are bound to the S1 active site. Binding isotherms have been analysed according to the Geeves & Halsall [(1987) Biophys. J. 52, 215-220] model, which proposed that troponin and tropomyosin effected regulation of the actomyosin interaction by controlling an isomerization of the actomyosin complex. The data support the proposal that seven actin monomers associated with a single tropomyosin molecule act as a co-operative unit that can be in one of two states. In the 'closed' state myosin can bind to actin, but the subsequent isomerization is prevented. The isomerization is only allowed after the seven-actin unit is in the 'open' form. Ca2+ controls the proportion of actin filaments in the 'closed' and 'open' forms in the absence of myosin heads. The ratio of 'closed' to 'open' forms is approx. 50:1 in the absence of Ca2+ and 5:1 in its presence.

Effects of deletion of tropomyosin overlap on regulated actomyosin subfragment 1 ATPase.

Project description:The role of the overlap region at the ends of tropomyosin molecules in the properties of regulated thin filaments has been investigated by substituting nonpolymerizable tropomyosin for tropomyosin in a reconstituted troponin-tropomyosin-actomyosin subfragment 1 ATPase assay system. A previous study [Heeley, Golosinka & Smillie (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9971-9978] has shown that at an ionic strength of 70 mM, troponin will induce full binding of nonpolymerizable tropomyosin to F-actin both in the presence and absence of calcium. At a myosin subfragment 1-to-actin ratio of 2:1 ([actin] = 4 microM) and an ionic strength of 50 mM, comparable levels of ATPase inhibition were observed with increasing levels of tropomyosin or the truncated derivative in the presence of troponin (-Ca2+). Large differences were noted, however, in the activation by Ca2+. Significantly lower ATPase activities were observed with nonpolymerizable tropomyosin and troponin (+Ca2+) over a range of subfragment 1-to-actin ratios from 0.25 to 2.5. The concentration of subfragment 1 required to generate ATPase activities exceeding those seen with actomyosin subfragment 1 alone under these conditions was 3-4-fold greater when nonpolymerizable tropomyosin was used. Similar effects were seen at the much lower ionic strength of 13 mM and are consistent with the reduced ATPase activity with nonpolymerizable tropomyosin observed previously [Walsh, Trueblood, Evans & Weber (1985) J. Mol. Biol. 182, 265-269] at low ionic strength and a subfragment 1-to-actin ratio of 1:100. Little cooperativity in activity as a function of subfragment 1 concentration with either intact tropomyosin or its truncated derivative was observed under the present conditions. Further studies are directed towards an understanding of these effects in terms of the two-state binding model for the attachment of myosin heads to regulated thin filaments.

Myosin subfragment 1 structures reveal a partially bound nucleotide and a complex salt bridge that helps couple nucleotide and actin binding.

Project description:Structural studies of myosin have indicated some of the conformational changes that occur in this protein during the contractile cycle, and we have now observed a conformational change in a bound nucleotide as well. The 3.1-A x-ray structure of the scallop myosin head domain (subfragment 1) in the ADP-bound near-rigor state (lever arm =45 degrees to the helical actin axis) shows the diphosphate moiety positioned on the surface of the nucleotide-binding pocket, rather than deep within it as had been observed previously. This conformation strongly suggests a specific mode of entry and exit of the nucleotide from the nucleotide-binding pocket through the so-called "front door." In addition, using a variety of scallop structures, including a relatively high-resolution 2.75-A nucleotide-free near-rigor structure, we have identified a conserved complex salt bridge connecting the 50-kDa upper and N-terminal subdomains. This salt bridge is present only in crystal structures of muscle myosin isoforms that exhibit a strong reciprocal relationship (also known as coupling) between actin and nucleotide affinity.

Protein fluorescence changes associated with ATP and adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate binding to skeletal muscle myosin subfragment 1 and actomyosin subfragment 1.

Project description:1. The fluorescence changes accompanying the binding of ATP and adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP gamma S) to myosin subfragment 1 (S1) and actomyosin subfragment 1 (actoS1) have been reinvestigated at 20 degrees C and 1 degree C, pH 7.0, 0.1 M-KCl. 2. Two successive fluorescence enhancements are observed following ATP binding to both S1 and actoS1. 3. The slow fluorescence change has the same rate with S1 and actoS1, and is due to the ATP cleavage step. 4. With actoS1 the fast fluorescence change occurs after dissociation, so a new intermediate, S1 ATP, is required on the actoS1 pathway. 5. The dissociation of actoS1 by ATP gamma S results in a fluorescence enhancement with the same apparent rate as dissociation, but indirect evidence suggests that this too occurs on a dissociated state.

Actomyosin interaction: mechanical and energetic properties in different nucleotide binding states.

Project description:The mechanics of the actomyosin interaction is central in muscle contraction and intracellular trafficking. A better understanding of the events occurring in the actomyosin complex requires the examination of all nucleotide-dependent states and of the energetic features associated with the dynamics of the cross-bridge cycle. The aim of the present study is to estimate the interaction strength between myosin in nucleotide-free, ATP, ADP.Pi and ADP states and actin monomer. The molecular models of the complexes were constructed based on cryo-electron microscopy maps and the interaction properties were estimated by means of a molecular dynamics approach, which simulate the unbinding of the complex applying a virtual spring to the core of myosin protein. Our results suggest that during an ATP hydrolysis cycle the affinity of myosin for actin is modulated by the presence and nature of the nucleotide in the active site of the myosin motor domain. When performing unbinding simulations with a pulling rate of 0.001 nm/ps, the maximum pulling force applied to the myosin during the experiment is about 1nN. Under these conditions the interaction force between myosin and actin monomer decreases from 0.83 nN in the nucleotide-free state to 0.27 nN in the ATP state, and increases to 0.60 nN after ATP hydrolysis and Pi release from the complex (ADP state).

Rebalancing of actomyosin contractility enables mammary tumor formation upon loss of E-cadherin.

Project description:E-cadherin (CDH1) is a master regulator of epithelial cell adherence junctions and a well-established tumor suppressor in Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC). Intriguingly, somatic inactivation of E-cadherin alone in mouse mammary epithelial cells (MMECs) is insufficient to induce tumor formation. Here we show that E-cadherin loss induces extrusion of luminal MMECs to the basal lamina. Remarkably, E-cadherin-deficient MMECs can breach the basal lamina but do not disseminate into the surrounding fat pad. Basal lamina components laminin and collagen IV supported adhesion and survival of E-cadherin-deficient MMECs while collagen I, the principle component of the mammary stromal micro-environment did not. We uncovered that relaxation of actomyosin contractility mediates adhesion and survival of E-cadherin-deficient MMECs on collagen I, thereby allowing ILC development. Together, these findings unmask the direct consequences of E-cadherin inactivation in the mammary gland and identify aberrant actomyosin contractility as a critical barrier to ILC formation.

Prolyl isomerization controls activation kinetics of a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel.

Project description:SthK, a cyclic nucleotide-modulated ion channel from Spirochaeta thermophila, activates slowly upon cAMP increase. This is reminiscent of the slow, cAMP-induced activation reported for the hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated channel HCN2 in the family of so-called pacemaker channels. Here, we investigate slow cAMP-induced activation in purified SthK channels using stopped-flow assays, mutagenesis, enzymatic catalysis and inhibition assays revealing that the cis/trans conformation of a conserved proline in the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain determines the activation kinetics of SthK. We propose that SthK exists in two forms: trans Pro300 SthK with high ligand binding affinity and fast activation, and cis Pro300 SthK with low affinity and slow activation. Following channel activation, the cis/trans equilibrium, catalyzed by prolyl isomerases, is shifted towards trans, while steady-state channel activity is unaffected. Our results reveal prolyl isomerization as a regulatory mechanism for SthK, and potentially eukaryotic HCN channels. This mechanism could contribute to electrical rhythmicity in cells.

Trapping of ivermectin by a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel upon open-to-closed isomerization.

Project description:Ivermectin (IVM) is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug used to treat human parasitic diseases like river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. By activating invertebrate pentameric glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCl receptors; GluClRs), IVM induces sustained chloride influx and long-lasting membrane hyperpolarization that inhibit neural excitation in nematodes. Although IVM activates the C. elegans heteromeric GluCl?/? receptor, it cannot activate a homomeric receptor composed of the C. elegans GluCl? subunits. To understand this incapability, we generated a homopentameric ?7-GluCl? chimeric receptor that consists of an extracellular ligand-binding domain of an ?7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor known to be potentiated by IVM, and a chloride-selective channel domain assembled from GluCl? subunits. Application of IVM prior to acetylcholine inhibited the responses of the chimeric ?7-GluCl?R. Adding IVM to activated ?7-GluCl?Rs, considerably accelerated the decline of ACh-elicited currents and stabilized the receptors in a non-conducting state. Determination of IVM association and dissociation rate constants and recovery experiments suggest that, following initial IVM binding to open ?7-GluCl?Rs, the drug induces a conformational change and locks the ion channel in a closed state for a long duration. We further found that IVM also inhibits the activation by glutamate of a homomeric receptor assembled from the C. elegans full-length GluCl? subunits.

Bacterial drug-resistance and viability phenotyping upon disinfectant exposure revealed by single-nucleotide resolved-allele specific isothermal RNA amplification.

Project description:Disinfectant abuse poses a risk of bacterial evolution against stresses, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, bacterial phenotypes, such as drug resistance and viability, are hard to access quickly. Here, we reported an allele specific isothermal RNA amplification (termed AlleRNA) assay, using an isothermal RNA amplification technique, i.e., nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), integrated the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS), involving the use of sequence-specific primers to allow the amplification of the targets with complete complementary sequences. AlleRNA assay enables rapid and simultaneous detection of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (a detection limit, a LOD of 0.5 % SNP) and the viability (a LOD of 80 CFU) of the quinolone resistant Salmonella enterica. With the use of AlleRNA assay, we found that the quinolone resistant S. enterica exhibited higher survival ability during exposure toquaternary ammonium salt, 75 % ethanol and peracetic acid, which might be attributed to the upregulation of stress response-associated genescompared with the susceptible counterparts. Additionally, the AlleRNA assay indicated the potential risk in a high-frequency occurrence of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) quinolone resistant S. enterica induced by disinfectants due to the depression of ATP biosynthesis. The excessive usage of disinfectants during the COVID-19 pandemic should be carefully evaluated due to the latent threat to ecological and human health.

Genome-wide association study identifies novel single nucleotide polymorphisms having age-specific effect on prostate-specific antigen levels.

Project description:BackgroundTesting for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in blood are widely used and associated with prostate cancer risk and outcome. After puberty, PSA levels increase by age and multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with PSA levels. However, the relationship between the effects of SNPs and age on PSA remains unknown.MethodsTo test for SNP × age interaction, we conducted a genome-wide association study using 2394 men without prostate cancer diagnosis from Malmö, Sweden as a discovery set and 2137 men from the eMERGE study (USA) for validation. Linear regression was used to identify significant interactions between SNP and age (p < 1 × 10-4 for discovery, p < .05 for validation).ResultsThe 15 SNPs from three different loci (8p11.22, 8p12, 3q25.31) are found to have age-specific effect on PSA levels. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) analysis shows that 12 SNPs from 3q25.31 locus affect the expression level of three genes: KCNAB1, SLC33A1, PLCH1.ConclusionsOur results suggest that SNPs may have age-specific effect on PSA levels, which provides new direction to study genetic markers for PSA.
