title: [Effect of eosin Y on Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of the myometrium actomyosin].
abstract: The effect of the reversible inhibitor of membrane-bound Ca2+ -transporting system in smooth muscle--eosin Y--on apparent kinetic parameters that characterize the sensitivity to Mg2+ of myometrium actomyosine ATPase reaction was investigated. It is shown that eosin Y decreases an affinity of actomyosin for Mg2+ and does not influence the number of turns of the smooth muscle actomyosin ATPase activity that was defined by Mg2+. This suggests possible competition of eosin Y with Mg2+ for the active center of actomyosin ATPase. However, the negatively charged inhibitor cannot be adsorbed on Mg2+-binding site of the active center because of essential differences in size, form and charge between eosin Y and Mg2+. Most likely, eosin Y acts on uterus smooth muscle actomyosin as an allosteric inhibitor. Consequently, the mechanism of eosin Y action on ATPase activity of myometrium contractile proteins is different from the mechanism of its influence on ATP-hydrolase enzyme systems of plasmatic membranes.
