title: Characterization of the ethenoadenosine diphosphate binding site of myosin subfragment 1. Energetics of the equilibrium between two states of nucleotide.S1 and vanadate-induced global conformation changes detected by energy transfer.
abstract: The fluorescence decay of 1,N6-ethenoadenosine diphosphate (epsilon ADP) bound to myosin subfragment 1 (S1) was studied as a function of temperature. The decay was biexponential, and the two lifetimes were quenched relative to the single lifetime of free epsilon ADP. The temperature dependence of the fractional intensities of the decay components showed two states of the S1.epsilon ADP complex. At pH 7.5 in 30 mM TES, 60 mM KCl, and 3 mM MgCl2, the equilibrium constant for the conversion of the low-temperature state (S1L.epsilon ADP) to the high-temperature state (S1H.epsilon ADP) was 40 at physiological temperatures, and delta H degrees = 13 kcal.mol-1 and delta S degrees = 49 cal.deg-1.mol-1. At 10 degrees C the equilibrium constant of S1 for epsilon ADP was 5, indicating that S1H.epsilon ADP was the dominant state, and that for the vanadate complex epsilon ADP.Vi was 0.7, suggesting that in S1.epsilon ADP.Vi the dominant state of the S1-nucleotide complex was converted from S1H.epsilon ADP to S1L.epsilon ADP. The single rotational correlation time of bound epsilon ADP at 10 degrees C decreased from 107 ns in S1.epsilon ADP to 74 ns in S1+.epsilon ADP.Vi. Conversion of the binary complex to the ternary vanadate complex resulted in a 3-A decrease in the energy transfer distance between bound epsilon ADP and N-[4-(dimethylamino)-3,5-dinitrophenyl]maleimide attached to SH1 and a decrease of the average distance between bound epsilon ADP and bound Co2+ from 12.6 to 8.3 A.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
