Abstract
Chemical cross-linking of actin to the 20K and 50K fragments of tryptically cleaved myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) by the zero-length cross-linking reagent 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC) was used as a probe of the acto-S-1 interface in the presence of nucleotides. The course of the two reactions was monitored by measuring on sodium doecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels the time-dependent formation of the 20K-actin and 50K-actin cross-linked products. Both reactions were inhibited somewhat in the presence of MgADP, were slowed 3-4-fold in the presence of magnesium 5''-adenylyl imidodiphosphate (MgAMPPNP), and proceeded at least 7-fold slower with N,N''-p-phenylenedimaleimide (pPDM) modified S-1, as compared to the respective rates in the absence of nucleotides. However, neither the binding of the nucleotides MgADP and MgAMPPNP to S-1 nor the modification of S-1 by pPDM significantly changed the ratio of the cross-linking rates of actin to the 20K and 50K fragments. Similar to what was previously observed in the absence of nucleotides [Chen, T., Applegate, D., and Reisler, E (1985) Biochemistry 24, 137-144], actin was cross-linked at an approximately 3-fold faster rate to the 20K fragment than to the 50K fragment under all reaction conditions tested. Thus, irrespective of the extent of acto-S-1 dissociation or the binding of nucleotides to acto-S-1, the 20K fragment remains the preferred cross-linking site for actin. These results show that the interaction of actin with each of the cross-linking sites on S-1 is not under selective or preferential control by nucleotides.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
