The effect of troponin C removal on the Ca2+-sensitive binding of Mg2+ AMPPNP to myofibrils.

چکیده

It was previously shown that when rabbit skeletal myofibrils are titrated with Mg2+ AMPPNP under conditions that result in the dissociation of cross-bridges from the thin filaments (i.e. 50% ethylene glycol, 0 degrees C), Ca2+-sensitive, biphasic binding is observed. These titrations have been repeated using myofibrils from which the troponin C has been selectively removed. The disappearance of both Ca2+ sensitivity and biphasic binding is taken as evidence that the Ca2+ sensitivity is due to Ca2+ binding to troponin C and the biphasic binding of Mg2+ AMPPNP observed in intact myofibrils is not due to packing constraints or steric hindrance.

Changes in myofibrillar activation and troponin C Ca2+ binding associated with troponin T isoform switching in developing rabbit heart.

Postnatal development of the mammalian heart is associated with changes in the population of isoforms of the thin filament proteins. We correlated the change in thin filament proteins, which occur in rabbit hearts between 5 days and 22 days of age, with changes in Ca2+ dependence of myofibrillar ATPase activity, force generation, and troponin C Ca2+ binding. The preparations derived from the 5-...

1204 Changes in Myofibrillar Activation and Troponin C Ca 2 ' Binding Associated With Troponin T Isoform Switching in Developing Rabbit Heart

Postnatal development of the mammalian heart is associated with changes in the population of isoforms of the thin filament proteins. We correlated the change in thin filament proteins, which occur in rabbit hearts between 5 days and 22 days of age, with changes in Ca2' dependence of myofibrillar ATPase activity, force generation, and troponin C Ca2' binding. The preparations derived from the 5-...

Modulation of Ca2+ control of dog and rabbit cardiac myofibrils by Mg2+. Comparison with rabbit skeletal myofibrils.

Increases in free Mg2+ from 0.04 to 10.0 mM with constant pH 7.0 TO 0.10 M ionic strength, and 2 mM MgATP2- caused a rightward shift of the free Ca-relative ATPase relation for both cardiac skeletal myofibrils. The specific activity of cardiac myofibrillar ATPase over a wide range of free Ca2+ was, however, depressed in 0.04 vs. 1.0 mM Mg2+, whereas a similar decrease in free Mg2+ slightly enha...

Alteration of actin-tropomyosin interaction in 2,4-pentanedione-treated rabbit skeletal myofibrils.

In previous work, we (El-Saleh, S., Theiret, R., Johnson, P., and Potter, J. D. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 11014-11021) presented evidence that Ca2+ activation of skeletal myofilaments depends on a specific actin domain. We showed that rabbit skeletal thin filaments reconstituted with actin modified at Lys-237 activate heavy meromyosin X Mg2+-ATPase activity independently of the Ca2+ ion concen...

A Structural Role for the Ca 2 ' - Mg 2 + Sites on Troponin Regulation of Muscle Contraction PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF TROPONIN C DEPLETED

Troponin C (TnC)-depleted myofibrils from rabbit skeletal muscle were prepared by consecutive washes of whole myofibrils with EDTA in solutions of low ionic strength, a method which has recently been described for the preparation of TnC (Cox, J. A., Compte, M., and Stein, E. A. (1981) Biochem. J. 195,205-211). Myofibrils treated in this manner exhibit a calcium independent loss of myofibrillar ...
