Study of regulatory effect of tropomyosin on actin-myosin interaction in skeletal muscle by in vitro motility assay.
Biochemistry. Biokhimii︠a︡ 2013 March
The interaction between myosin and actin in striated muscle tissue is regulated by Ca2+ via thin filament regulatory proteins. Skeletal muscle possesses a whole pattern of myosin and tropomyosin isoforms. The regulatory effect of tropomyosin on actin-myosin interaction was investigated by measuring the sliding velocity of both actin and actin-tropomyosin filaments over fast and slow skeletal myosins using the in vitro motility assay. The actin-tropomyosin filaments were reconstructed with tropomyosin isoforms from striated muscle tissue. It was found that tropomyosins with different content of α-, β-, and γ-chains added to actin filaments affect the sliding velocity of filaments in different ways. On the other hand, the sliding velocity of filaments with the same content of α-, β-, and γ-chains depends on myosin isoforms of striated muscle. The reciprocal effects of myosin and tropomyosin on actin-myosin interaction in striated muscle may play a significant role in maintenance of effective work of striated muscle both during ontogenesis and under pathological conditions.
