title: Kinetics of the interaction of myosin subfragment-1 with G-actin. Effect of nucleotides and DNaseI.
abstract: The kinetics of interaction of monomeric pyrenyl-labeled G-actin with myosin subfragment-1 (S1 (A1) and S1(A2) isomers) has been examined in the stopped-flow at low ionic strength. The data confirm the previously reported existence of binary GS and ternary G2S complexes. The increase in pyrenyl-actin fluorescence which monitors the G-actin-S1 interactions is linked to the isomerization of these complexes following rapid equilibrium binding steps. The rates of isomerization are approximately 200 s-1 for GS and approximately 50 s-1 for G2S at 4 degrees C and in the absence of ATP. DNaseI and S1 bind G-actin essentially in a mutually exclusive fashion. Both GS and G2S are dissociated by MgATP and MgADP. The kinetics and mechanism of ATP-induced dissociation of G2S are quantitatively close to the ATP-induced dissociation of F-actin-S1, which indicates the G2S is a good model for the F-actin-S1 interface. GS and G2S display different kinetic behaviors in response to nucleotides, GS being less efficiently dissociated than G2S by MgATP. This result suggests that different mechanical properties of the cross-bridge might correlate with different orientations of the myosin head and different actin/myosin binding ratios.
