Rabbit skeletal muscle myosin subfragment 1 (S1) binding to actin changes significantly with MgADP and phosphate. This transition, crucial for muscle force generation, involves substantial shifts in electrostatic and non-electrostatic interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Muscle Physiology
  • Protein-Actin Interactions

Background:

  • Myosin subfragment 1 (S1) binding to actin is central to muscle contraction.
  • The role of ionic strength and nucleotide state (MgADP, P or MgADP) in this interaction is complex.
  • Understanding these binding dynamics is key to elucidating muscle force generation mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the ionic strength dependence of S1 binding to F-actin with MgADP,P and MgADP.
  • To determine association constants at zero ionic strength (K(0)) and effective electric charges at binding interfaces.
  • To analyze the contributions of electrostatic and non-electrostatic interactions to binding affinity changes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ionic strength dependence of myosin subfragment 1 (S1) binding to F-actin.

  • Measurement of association constants (K(0)) and net effective electric charges (zMzA).
  • Comparison of binding characteristics for S1-MgADP,P and S1-MgADP states.

    • Main Results:

    • S1-MgADP binding to F-actin showed higher affinity (5 x 10(7) M-1) and lower charge (7 esu2) compared to S1-MgADP,P (1 x 10(6) M-1, 17 esu2).
    • Near physiological ionic strengths, affinity increased ~10(4)-fold for the S1-MgADP,P to S1-MgADP transition.
    • A decrease in electrostatic contribution correlated with a larger increase in non-electrostatic interactions during this transition.

    Conclusions:

    • The transition from S1-MgADP,P to S1-MgADP bound to actin involves significant changes in binding interface properties.
    • These changes, particularly the shift from electrostatic to non-electrostatic interactions, are critical for force generation in muscle fibers.
    • A substantial transformation of the actin binding site on S1 occurs, even with translocation to a new interface.
