Abstract
BACKGROUND: In contrast to the myosins of vertebrate skeletal muscle, molluscan myosins are regulated molecules whose enzymatic activity is switched on by the direct binding of Ca2+. The head portion (S1) of the molecule consists of a motor domain and a regulatory domain (RD) containing a 'regulatory' and an 'essential' light chain (RLC and ELC, respectively). The structures of scallop myosin RD with bound Ca2+, as well as the S1 fragment of chicken skeletal muscle myosin, have been determined previously to 2.8 A resolution. RESULTS: We have determined the structure at 2.0 A resolution of scallop myosin RD with bound Ca2+. The unusual coordination at the specific Ca(2+)-binding site in the ELC has now been clarified, as has the structural basis for Mg2+ binding to the RLC. A comparison of the scallop RD structure with that in the chicken S1 structure shows differences in the bending of the two RDs in two different places. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these structural results, a model for regulation is proposed in which the Ca(2+)-bound RD is a rigid structure, and transient flexibility of the Ca(2+)-free RD allows the myosin heads to make stabilizing intramolecular linkage which shut off the motor.
Figure 4.
Figure 4. Stereo diagram of the complex between apo-CaM and an IQ motif peptide. Two views are shown which are related by a 90° rotation about the horizontal axis. The helical IQ motif peptide (black, residues Arg654-Ser686) is bent around residue Tyr675. The N-terminal lobe of CaM (domain I in red, domain II in yellow) adopts a closed conformation. The C-terminal lobe of CaM (domain III in cyan, domain IV in blue) adopts a semi-open conformation. The complex has a rather elongated shape; apo-CaM forms a channel which surrounds the middle portion of the peptide. On the other side of the interlobe linker (green), interactions occur between the two lobes of CaM. Among these linkages two hydrogen bonds are made across the peptide helix between the sidechain of residue Glu114 (in ball-and-stick representation) in linker 3 (purple) and backbone nitrogens of Glu45 and Ala46 (blue balls) of linker 1.
