Acceleration of the sliding movement of actin filaments with the use of a non-motile mutant myosin in in vitro motility assays driven by skeletal muscle heavy meromyosin
We examined the movement of an actin filament sliding on a mixture of normal and genetically modified myosin molecules that were attached to a glass surface. For this purpose, we used a Dictyostelium G680V mutant myosin II whose release rates of Pi and ADP were highly suppressed relative to normal myosin, leading to a significantly extended life-time of the strongly bound state with actin and v...
متن کاملMapping the actin filament with myosin.
Structural studies have shown that the heads of the myosin motor molecule bind preferentially to "target zones" of favorably oriented sites on the helices of the actin filament. We present direct evidence for target zones from the interactions of a single myosin head with an actin filament held between two optically trapped beads. With compliant traps, thermal motions of the filament allow the ...
متن کاملEffects of actin filament cross-linking and filament length on actin- myosin interaction
We have used two actin-binding proteins of the intestinal brush border, TW 260/240 and villin, to examine the effects of filament cross-linking and filament length on myosin-actin interactions. TW 260/240 is a nonerythroid spectrin that is a potent cross-linker of actin filaments. In the presence of this cross-linker we observed a concentration-dependent enhancement of skeletal muscle actomyosi...
متن کاملMyosin and actin filament lengths in diaphragms from emphysematous hamsters.
In vitro studies of the diaphragm from emphysematous animals have, in some instances, shown an alteration in its sarcomere length-tension relationship and a decreased maximal specific tension. To our knowledge, it has never been determined whether such functional changes may be indicative of ultrastructural adaptations, e.g., changes in filament lengths and thus cross-bridge number. To address ...
متن کاملCrosstalk between non-processive myosin motors mediated by the actin filament elasticity
Many biological processes involve the action of molecular motors that interact with the cell cytoskeleton. Some processes, such as the transport of cargoes is achieved mainly by the action of individual motors. Other, such as cell motility and division, require the cooperative work of many motors. Collective motor dynamics can be quite complex and unexpected. One beautiful example is the bidire...
