FRET and optical trapping reveal mechanisms of actin activation of the power stroke and phosphate release in myosin V

Abstract: Myosins generate force and motion by precisely coordinating their mechanical and chemical cycles, but the nature and timing of this coordination remains controversial. We utilized a FRET approach to examine the kinetics of structural changes in the force generating lever arm in myosin V. We directly compared the FRET results with single molecule mechanical events examined by optical trapping. We introduced a mutation (S217A) in the conserved switch I region of the active site to examine how myosin couples stru… Show more

“…To confirm that our analyses could detect a delay in the generation of the powerstroke if it occurred, we performed simulations of single binding events in which myosin bound to actin and either, rapidly generated a powerstroke (Figure 2b) or paused with a time constant of 30 ms before generating a step (Figure 2c). The time constant for P i -release was chosen to be consistent with the average measured rate of P i -release from the S217A construct from three different reports (Forgacs et al, 2009;Gunther et al, 2020;Llinas et al, 2015).…”

“…The loss of the hydroxyl group, thought to make contact with the gammaphosphate of ATP (Forgacs et al, 2009;Smith & Rayment, 1996), is hypothesized to impede the entry of P i into the exit tunnel (Llinas et al, 2015). Consistent with this hypothesis, actin-activated P irelease is 3-10-fold slower in this mutation compared to WT (Forgacs et al, 2009;Gunther et al, 2020;Llinas et al, 2015). In addition, x-ray crystal structures of myosin soaked in high concentrations of P i for 45 min show P i in the active site near ADP with myosin occupying a prepowerstroke state, supporting a P i -release gated powerstroke (Llinas et al, 2015).…”

“…The hydrolysis of ATP occurs while myosin is detached from actin and allows the lever arm to be positioned in a pre-power stroke conformation (recovery stroke). When myosin with the hydrolyzed products in the active site binds to actin there is a transition into the strongly bound actomyosin state and a shift from a pre-power stroke to a post-power stroke state that is key to force generation (power stroke) as well as the acceleration of phosphate release ( Trivedi et al, 2015 ; Gunther et al, 2020 ). The release of ADP from actomyosin is required before another ATP cycle can occur.…”

“…It is well established that myosin, with the hydrolyzed products in its active site, associates weakly with actin, and then transitions into a strong actin-attached state to perform the power stroke. An initial actin-attached state has been proposed to be the pre-force generating intermediate before myosin transitions into the strong actomyosin state (11,52,53). The intermediate state is highly reversible (can rapidly detach from actin) but it is proposed to be stereospecific in nature (11).…”
