  • Title: Electron paramagnetic resonance and nanosecond fluorescence depolarization studies on creatine-phosphokinase interaction with myosin and its fragments.
    Author: Botts J, Stone DB, Wang AT, Mendelson RA.
    Journal: J Supramol Struct; 1975; 3(2):141-5. PubMed ID: 172735.
    Abstract:
    Recent reports in the literature have indicated a physical association of creatine-phosphokinase (CPK) with the tail portion of the myosin molecule. The present paper describes further studies on the interaction of CPK with myosin and myosin fragments, using the techniques of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nanosecond fluorescence depolarization. From EPR work, spin-labeled CPK appears to interact with myosin, tail-less myosin (heavy meromyosin [HMM]), and myosin heads (subfragment-1 [S1]), the extent of interaction being proportional to the S1 content of myosin or its fragments. Spin-labeled CPK did not evidence interaction with the headless myosin "rods," with myosin tails (light meromyosin [LMM]), with S2 necks (which connect S1 to the rest of the myosin molecule), or with actin. When a fluorescent dye is directed to the essential epsilon-amino group of CPK, nanosecond fluorescence depolarization studies indicate a substantial interaction with myosin, HMM, and S1, but very little with F-actin. When the "fast-reacting" thiol of the S1 moiety or the "essential thiol" of CPK was labeled with either a fluorescent dye or a spin label, no interaction between CPK and myosin (or S1) was detected.
