| Popis: | Interactions of myosin with actin filaments probably induce conformational changes in actin which are crucial for its function. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer spectroscopy can determine changes in distance (range 10-100 A) between two probes and therefore can sense conformational changes in proteins. We have investigated changes in the radial coordinates of fluorescent probes bound to Cys-374 of F-actin when either of the isozymes (S1A1 and S1A2) of myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) bind. Using 5-[[2-[(iodoacetyl)amino]ethyl]amino]naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid and N-(4-dimethylamino-3,5-dinitrophenyl)maleimide as donor and acceptor probes, respectively, we calculated a radius of 13-14 A. This distance increased by approximately 4.5 A upon addition of S-1. No differences were detected between the effects of S1A1 and S1A2. This increase is reversed by MgATP. The average position of the probes on Cys-374 is closer to the filament axis than expected from the current models of F-actin. S-1 increases the radial position of Cys-374 either by direct interaction or via an allosteric conformational change associated with its binding. |
