“…Chemical and structural studies of myosin have indicated that there must be a significant structural rearrangement associated with the reactive sulffihydryl groups during the contractile cycle (38)(39)(40)(41). In the structure of chicken skeletal myosin Si, these two residues are separated by an a-helix where their side chains point in opposite directions (23), yet they can be cross-linked in the presence of nucleotide (42)(43)(44) and chemical modification of the cysteines changes the kinetic properties of myosin (45,46). It has been suggested that domain movements around the reactive sulfhydryl pocket allows the molecule to bend during the contractile cycle without inducing major structural rearrangements within the domains themselves (47).…”

In 10-30% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy kindreds, the disease is caused by >29 missense mutations in the cardiac f8-myosin heavy chain (AYIH7) gene. The amino acid sequence similarity between chicken skeletal muscle and human a-cardiac myosin and the three-dimensional structure of the chicken skeletal muscle myosin head have provided the opportunity to examine the structural consequences of these naturally occurring mutations in human ,8-cardiac myosin. This study demonstrates that the mutations are related to distinct structural and functional domains. Twenty-four are clustered around four specific locations in the myosin head that are (i) associated with the actin binding interface, (ii) around the nucleotide binding site, (iii) adjacent to the region that connects the two reactive cysteine residues, and (iv) in close proximity to the interface of the heavy chain with the essential light chain. The remaining five mutations are in the myosin rod. The locations of these mutations provide insight into the way they impair the functioning of this molecular motor and also into the mechanism of energy transduction.

“…The equal inhibition of Ca2+ ATPase and K + -EDTA ATPase activities shows that the pressure effect is not due to the selective destruction of one of the two reactive sulphydryl groups located at or near the active site of myosin (Sekine and Kielley 1964). If, as reported by Reisler et al (1974), the SH i group is more exposed than the SH z group in the absence of nucleotide, a selective destruction might be expected if pressure was affecting this area of the molecule.…”

Natural actomyosin, actin and myosin, have been pressurized at up to 150 MN/m2 for 1 h at O°C and examined 3-5 h later.Pressurization of myosin resulted in the formation of aggregates with a molecular weight approximately that expected for a dimer, whereas with F-actin depolymerization occurred. With actomyosin, a gel to sol transition was promoted. Viscosity and light-scattering measurements indicated that pressurization results in a large measure of disaggregation of actomyosin in solution.Pressurization of actomyosin resulted in a greater decrease in the calcium-sensitive, than in the calcium-independent, Mg2+ ATPase activity. The Ca 2 + and K+-EDTA ATPase activities of myosin were inhibited to about the same extent.

“…Modification of SH-1 results in the activation of Ca2+-ATPase activity and the abolition of K+-ATPase activity. Reaction of the second thiol takes place only in the presence of nucleotide and leads to a loss of Ca2+-ATPase activity also (1,2). By blocking SH-1 reversibly with fluorodinitrobenzene, Reisler et al (3) showed that myosin exhibits a smaller increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity when SH-2, instead of SH-1, is modified with N-ethylmaleimide.…”

Doolittle, May 23, 1986 ABSTRACT The thiol-specific photoactivatable reagent benzophenone-4-iodoacetamide can be incorporated into myosin subfragment 1 (Si), accompanied by an increase of Ca2+-ATPase and the loss of K+-ATPase activities, a characteristic property of S1 when reactive sulfhydryl 1 (SH-1) Is modified. After trypsin cleavage, 25-kDa, 50-kDa, and 20-kDa fragments were found upon NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the unphotolyzed sample, whereas only the 50-kDa fragment and a 45-kDa fragment appeared In the photolyzed sample, indicating that the NH2-terminal 25-kDa fragment was crosslinked to the COOH-terminal 20-kDa fragment via SH-1.
