Evidence for the two-step binding of ATP to myosin subfragment 1 by the rapid-flow-quench method.

ABSTRACT: 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.

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.

Pressure-relaxation studies of pyrene-labelled actin and myosin subfragment 1 from rabbit skeletal muscle. Evidence for two states of acto-subfragment 1.

Project description:We have used actin labelled at Cys-374 with N-(1-pyrenyl)iodoacetamide [Kouyama & Mihashi (1981) Eur. J. Biochem. 114, 33-38] to monitor pressure-induced relaxations of acto-myosin subfragment 1. This label greatly increases the sensitivity of measurement of dissociated actin and reveals the presence of two relaxations. The experimental data can be fitted by a model in which actin binds subfragment 1 relatively weakly (K = 5.9 X 10(4) M-1) and then isomerizes to a more tightly bound complex (K = 1.7 X 10(7) M-1). This directly observed isomerization supports the model of Geeves, Goody & Gutfreund [(1984) J. Muscle Res. Cell. Motil. 5, 351-361]. The rate of the isomerization is too high to be observed in the pressure-jump apparatus (less than 200 microseconds), but analysis of the amplitudes allows estimation of the equilibrium constant of the isomerization as 280 (20 degrees C, 0.1 M-KCl, pH 7). The equilibrium is sensitive to temperature, pressure, ionic strength and the presence of ethylene glycol. The pressure-sensitivity of the isomerization suggests a significant conformational change of the acto-myosin subfragment 1 complex.

Does Interaction between the Motor and Regulatory Domains of the Myosin Head Occur during ATPase Cycle? Evidence from Thermal Unfolding Studies on Myosin Subfragment 1.

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.

Two-step ATP-driven opening of cohesin head.

Project description:The cohesin ring is a protein complex composed of four core subunits: Smc1A, Smc3, Rad21 and Stag1/2. It is involved in chromosome segregation, DNA repair, chromatin organization and transcription regulation. Opening of the ring occurs at the "head" structure, formed of the ATPase domains of Smc1A and Smc3 and Rad21. We investigate the mechanisms of the cohesin ring opening using techniques of free molecular dynamics (MD), steered MD and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics MD (QM/MM MD). The study allows the thorough analysis of the opening events at the atomic scale: i) ATP hydrolysis at the Smc1A site, evaluating the role of the carboxy-terminal domain of Rad21 in the process; ii) the activation of the Smc3 site potentially mediated by the movement of specific amino acids; and iii) opening of the head domains after the two ATP hydrolysis events. Our study suggests that the cohesin ring opening is triggered by a sequential activation of the ATP sites in which ATP hydrolysis at the Smc1A site induces ATPase activity at the Smc3 site. Our analysis also provides an explanation for the effect of pathogenic variants related to cohesinopathies and cancer.

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.

ATP turnover by individual myosin molecules hints at two conformers of the myosin active site.

Project description:Coupling of ATP hydrolysis to structural changes in the motor domain is fundamental to the driving of motile functions by myosins. Current understanding of this chemomechanical coupling is primarily based on ensemble average measurements in solution and muscle fibers. Although important, the averaging could potentially mask essential details of the chemomechanical coupling, particularly for mixed populations of molecules. Here, we demonstrate the potential of studying individual myosin molecules, one by one, for unique insights into established systems and to dissect mixed populations of molecules where separation can be particularly challenging. We measured ATP turnover by individual myosin molecules, monitoring appearance and disappearance of fluorescent spots upon binding/dissociation of a fluorescent nucleotide to/from the active site of myosin. Surprisingly, for all myosins tested, we found two populations of fluorescence lifetimes for individual myosin molecules, suggesting that termination of fluorescence occurred by two different paths, unexpected from standard kinetic schemes of myosin ATPase. In addition, molecules of the same myosin isoform showed substantial intermolecular variability in fluorescence lifetimes. From kinetic modeling of our two fluorescence lifetime populations and earlier solution data, we propose two conformers of the active site of myosin, one that allows the complete ATPase cycle and one that dissociates ATP uncleaved. Statistical analysis and Monte Carlo simulations showed that the intermolecular variability in our studies is essentially due to the stochastic behavior of enzyme kinetics and the limited number of ATP binding events detectable from an individual myosin molecule with little room for static variation among individual molecules, previously described for other enzymes.

The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy myosin mutation R453C alters ATP binding and hydrolysis of human cardiac ?-myosin.

Project description:The human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation R453C results in one of the more severe forms of the myopathy. Arg-453 is found in a conserved surface loop of the upper 50-kDa domain of the myosin motor domain and lies between the nucleotide binding pocket and the actin binding site. It connects to the cardiomyopathy loop via a long ?-helix, helix O, and to Switch-2 via the fifth strand of the central ?-sheet. The mutation is, therefore, in a position to perturb a wide range of myosin molecular activities. We report here the first detailed biochemical kinetic analysis of the motor domain of the human ?-cardiac myosin carrying the R453C mutation. A recent report of the same mutation (Sommese, R. F., Sung, J., Nag, S., Sutton, S., Deacon, J. C., Choe, E., Leinwand, L. A., Ruppel, K., and Spudich, J. A. (2013) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 110, 12607-12612) found reduced ATPase and in vitro motility but increased force production using an optical trap. Surprisingly, our results show that the mutation alters few biochemical kinetic parameters significantly. The exceptions are the rate constants for ATP binding to the motor domain (reduced by 35%) and the ATP hydrolysis step/recovery stroke (slowed 3-fold), which could be the rate-limiting step for the ATPase cycle. Effects of the mutation on the recovery stroke are consistent with a perturbation of Switch-2 closure, which is required for the recovery stroke and the subsequent ATP hydrolysis.

A transient kinetic study of enthalpy changes during the reaction of myosin subfragment 1 with ATP.

Project description:1. The enthalpy changes during individual reaction steps of the myosin subfragment 1 ATPase were studied with the use of a new stopped-flow calorimeter [Howarth, Millar & Gutfreund (1987) Biochem. J. 248, 677-682]. 2. At 5 degrees C and pH 7.0, the endothermic on-enzyme ATP-cleavage step was observed directly (delta H = +64 kJ.mol-1). 3. ADP binding is accompanied by a biphasic enthalpy change. 4. The release and uptake of protons was investigated by the use of two buffers with widely different heats of ionization. 5. Protons are involved in all four principal steps of the myosin subfragment 1 ATPase.

Correlation between calponin and myosin subfragment 1 binding to F-actin and ATPase inhibition.

Project description:Calponin is a thin-filament-associated protein that has been implicated in the regulation of smooth-muscle contractility. It binds to F-actin and inhibits the MgATPase activity of actomyosin. In the present work we have examined the effect of recombinant chicken gizzard alpha-calponin (R alpha CaP) on the binding of rabbit skeletal-muscle myosin subfragment 1 (S1) to F-actin and on the inhibition of its actin-activated MgATPase. We have found that binding of one R alpha CaP molecule to every three to four actin monomers is sufficient for maximal inhibition of acto-S1 ATPase. At this R alpha CaP/actin ratio R alpha CaP does not interfere with S1 binding to F-actin. At higher concentrations, R alpha CaP displaces S1 from F-actin and a 1:1 R alpha CaP-actin monomer complex is formed. R alpha CaP is also able to displace troponin I from its complex with F-actin which may reflect the amino acid sequence similarity between R alpha CaP and troponin I in their actin-binding regions.

Evidence for two-step binding of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide to aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Project description:The displacement of NADH from cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) from sheep liver was studied by using NAD+, 1,10-phenanthroline, ADP-ribose, deamino-NAD+ and pyridine-3-aldehyde-adenine dinucleotide as displacing agents, by following the decrease in fluorescence as a function of time. The data obtained could be fitted by assuming two first-order processes were occurring, a faster process with an apparent rate constant of 0.85 +/- 0.20 s-1 and a relative amplitude of 60 +/- 10% and a slower process with an apparent rate constant of 0.20 +/- 0.05 s-1 and a relative amplitude of 40 +/- 10% (except for pyridine-3-aldehyde-adenine dinucleotide, where the apparent rate constant for the slow process was 0.05 s-1). The displacement rates did not change significantly when the pH was varied from 6.0 to 9.0. Kinetic data are also reported for the dependence of the rate of binding of NADH to the enzyme on the total concentration of NADH. Detailed arguments are presented based on the isolation and purification procedures, the equilibrium coenzyme-binding studies and the kinetic data, which lead to the following model for the release of NADH from the enzyme: (formula: see article). The parameters that best fit the data are: k + 1 = 0.2 s-1; k - 1 = 0.05 s-1; k + 2 = 0.8 s-1 and k - 2 = 5 X 10(5)litre-mol-1-s-1. The slow phase of the NADH release is similar to the steady-state turnover number for substrates such as acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde and appears to contribute significantly to the limitation of the steady-state rate.
