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.

Project description:2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) activates the myosin ATPase of mammalian skeletal muscle in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+, and inhibits it when the bivalent cations are replaced by K+ and EDTA. Activation of Mg2+ATPase is abolished by the presence of unregulated actin. 3-Nitrophenol (3-NP) is also an activator, whereas other analogues (2-nitrophenol, 2-NP, and 4-nitrophenol, 4-NP) are much less effective. Concentrations required for their half-maximal effects (K0.5) range from 2 to 15 mM for 3-NP and DNP in the presence of different cations, and the sequence for the analogues is 3-NP<=DNP<<2-NP approximately 4-NP, which is apparently unrelated to either hydrophobicity or pK. DNP and 3-NP have almost identical effects on the ATPase activity of chymotryptic subfragment 1 as they do on myosin, which is an indication that their target is the globular head region rather than the tail, or the 18 kDa (regulatory) light chain. Analysis of the ATP concentration dependence for subfragment- 1 ATPase in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+ shows that DNP activates only at high substrate concentrations, becoming increasingly effective with ATP concentrations in the physiological range. At low substrate concentrations, DNP inhibits hydrolysis by increasing the apparent Km for ATP at the catalytic site. In the presence of Mg2+, it mimics the effect of actin, which increases the Km and accelerates the release of products following hydrolysis. At high substrate concentrations, activation by DNP appears to involve a kinetic component with low affinity for ATP that can increase the overall reaction rate by a factor of 2- to 9-fold, depending on the bivalent cation. This low-affinity component is either induced by the drug (in the presence of Mg2+) or shifted by the drug to a lower ATP concentration range (in the presence of Ca2+).

Project description:Myosin head (myosin subfragment 1, S1) consists of two major structural domains, the motor (or catalytic) domain and the regulatory domain. Functioning of the myosin head as a molecular motor is believed to involve a rotation of the regulatory domain (lever arm) relative to the motor domain during the ATPase cycle. According to predictions, this rotation can be accompanied by an interaction between the motor domain and the C-terminus of the essential light chain (ELC) associated with the regulatory domain. To check this assumption, we applied differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) combined with temperature dependences of fluorescence to study changes in thermal unfolding and the domain structure of S1, which occur upon formation of the ternary complexes S1-ADP-AlF4- and S1-ADP-BeFx that mimic S1 ATPase intermediate states S1**-ADP-Pi and S1*-ATP, respectively. To identify the thermal transitions on the DSC profiles (i.e. to assign them to the structural domains of S1), we compared the DSC data with temperature-induced changes in fluorescence of either tryptophan residues, located only in the motor domain, or recombinant ELC mutants (light chain 1 isoform), which were first fluorescently labeled at different positions in their C-terminal half and then introduced into the S1 regulatory domain. We show that formation of the ternary complexes S1-ADP-AlF4- and S1-ADP-BeFx significantly stabilizes not only the motor domain, but also the regulatory domain of the S1 molecule implying interdomain interaction via ELC. This is consistent with the previously proposed concepts and also adds some new interesting details to the molecular mechanism of the myosin ATPase cycle.

Project description:Self-assembly of colloidal particles offers an attractive bottom-up approach to functional materials. Current design strategies for colloidal assemblies are mostly based on thermodynamically controlled principles and lack autonomous behavior. The next advance in the properties of colloidal assemblies will come from coupling these structures to out-of-equilibrium chemical reaction networks furnishing them with autonomous and dynamic behavior. This, however, constitutes a major challenge of carefully modulating the interparticle potentials on a temporal circuit program and avoiding kinetic trapping and irreversible aggregation. Herein, we report the coupling of a fuel-driven DNA-based enzymatic reaction network (ERN) to micron-sized colloidal particles to achieve their transient co-assembly. The ERN operating on the molecular level transiently releases an Output strand which links two DNA functionalized microgel particles together into co-assemblies with a programmable assembly lifetime. The system generates minimal waste and recovers all components of the ERN after the consumption of the ATP fuel. The system can be reactivated by addition of new fuel as shown for up to three cycles. The design can be applied to organize other building blocks into hierarchical structures and materials with advanced biomimetic properties.

Project description: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.

Project description:The tryptophan fluorescence of unmodified myosin subfragment 1 (S1) from rabbit and chicken skeletal muscle with various nucleotides and phosphate analogues bound was measured after rapid temperature jumps. The fluorescence decreased during the temperature rise. Under some conditions, this decrease was followed by an increase, reflecting structural transitions within the protein. With adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppA) or with ADP and BeF(x) bound, this rise was very rapid (reciprocal time constant approx. 2000 s(-1)) and varied only slightly with starting temperature, suggesting that, with these ligands, two different protein conformations were present in rapid equilibrium over a large temperature range. In the presence of ATP, the transient included several relaxation processes. Overall, the results suggest that complexes of S1 with ATP or with a number of other ligands exist as a mixture of two forms in temperature-dependent equilibrium. The results throw light on the finding of different forms of S1 in recent crystallographic studies and indicate a surprising lack of strong coupling between myosin's structural state and the nature of the nucleotide bound.

Project description:Knowledge of the dynamical behavior of proteins, and in particular their conformational fluctuations, is essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying their reactions. Here, transient enhancement of the isothermal partial molar compressibility, which is directly related to the conformational fluctuation, during a chemical reaction of a blue light sensor protein from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1 (TePixD, Tll0078) was investigated in a time-resolved manner. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of TePixD did not change with the application of high pressure. Conversely, the transient grating signal intensities representing the volume change depended significantly on the pressure. This result implies that the compressibility changes during the reaction. From the pressure dependence of the amplitude, the compressibility change of two short-lived intermediate (I1 and I2) states were determined to be +(5.6 ± 0.6) × 10(-2) cm(3) ? mol(-1) ? MPa(-1) for I1 and +(6.6 ± 0.7) × 10(-2) cm(3) ? mol(-1) ? MPa(-1) for I2. This result showed that the structural fluctuation of intermediates was enhanced during the reaction. To clarify the relationship between the fluctuation and the reaction, the compressibility of multiply excited TePixD was investigated. The isothermal compressibility of I1 and I2 intermediates of TePixD showed a monotonic decrease with increasing excitation laser power, and this tendency correlated with the reactivity of the protein. This result indicates that the TePixD decamer cannot react when its structural fluctuation is small. We concluded that the enhanced compressibility is an important factor for triggering the reaction of TePixD. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing enhanced fluctuations of intermediate species during a protein reaction, supporting the importance of fluctuations.

Project description:1. The initial steps on the myosin ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) pathway are taken to be: (formula; see text) A two-step binding for ATP is assumed, but the evidence for it is unconvincing; because of the rapidity of the process unambiguous values for K1 and K2 are not available. 2. We investigated the myosin mechanism by the chemical flow-quench technique. Reaction mixtures containing [gamma-32P]ATP plus myosin subfragment 1 were quenched in unlabelled ATP (ATP chase) or acid (Pi burst). 3. We show that the ATP-chase method can lead directly to unambiguous values for K1 and k+2. 4. The binding process was slowed down by 40% ethylene glycol. It was studied as a function of the ATP concentration. A limiting plateau resulted, showing a two-step binding for ATP, and values for K1 and k+2 were obtained. 5. K1 and k+2 are rather sensitive to the experimental conditions. Ethylene glycol and lowering of the pH decrease both constants, but an increase in KCl concentration increases them. This suggests that the binding of ATP to myosin is of an electrostatic nature. 6. The Pi-burst method can lead directly to k+3 + k-3, but under certain conditions the kinetics are governed by K1 and k+2. This uncertainty of the interpretation of Pi-burst experiments is discussed.

Project description:Some RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) discriminate viral and cellular dsRNA by their termini, and Drosophila melanogaster Dicer-2 (dmDcr-2) differentially processes dsRNA with blunt or 2 nucleotide 3'-overhanging termini. We investigated the transient kinetic mechanism of the dmDcr-2 reaction using a rapid reaction stopped-flow technique and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Indeed, we found that ATP binding to dmDcr-2's helicase domain impacts association and dissociation kinetics of dsRNA in a termini-dependent manner, revealing termini-dependent discrimination of dsRNA on a biologically relevant time scale (seconds). ATP hydrolysis promotes transient unwinding of dsRNA termini followed by slow rewinding, and directional translocation of the enzyme to the cleavage site. Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy reveals a nucleotide-dependent modulation in conformational fluctuations (nanoseconds) of the helicase and Platform-PAZ domains that is correlated with termini-dependent dsRNA cleavage. Our study offers a kinetic framework for comparison to other Dicers, as well as all members of the RLRs involved in innate immunity.

Project description:The pre-steady-state kinetics of MgATP hydrolysis by nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae were studied by stopped-flow calorimetry at 6 degrees C and at pH 7.0. An endothermic reaction (delta Hobs. = +36 kJ.mol of ATP-1; kobs. = 9.4 s-1) in which 0.5 proton.mol of ATP-1 was released, has been assigned to the on-enzyme cleavage of MgATP to yield bound MgADP + Pi. The assignment is based on the similarity of these parameters to those of the corresponding reaction that occurs with rabbit muscle myosin subfragment-1 (delta Hobs. = +32 kJ.mol of ATP-1; kobs. = 7.1 s-1; 0.2 proton released.mol of ATP-1) [Millar, Howarth & Gutfreund (1987) Biochem. J. 248, 683-690]. MgATP-dependent electron transfer from the nitrogenase Fe-protein to the MoFe-protein was monitored by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at 430 nm and occurred with kobs. value of 3.0 s-1 at 6 degrees C. Thus, under these conditions, hydrolysis of MgATP precedes electron transfer within the protein complex. Evidence is presented that suggests that MgATP cleavage and subsequent electron transfer are reversible at 6 degrees C with an overall equilibrium constant close to unity, but that, at 23 degrees C, the reactions are essentially irreversible, with an overall equilibrium constant greater than or equal to 10.
