  • Title: A comparison of the effect of vanadate on the binding of myosin-subfragment-1.ADP to actin and on actomyosin subfragment 1 ATPase activity.
    Author: Smith SJ, Eisenberg E.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1990 Oct 05; 193(1):69-73. PubMed ID: 2146116.
    Abstract:
    Equilibrium binding studies were used to determine the binding constant of vanadate ion (Vi), to the complex of actomyosin subfragment 1 (S1) with ADP and Vi and of actin to the myosin S1.ADP.Vi complex. The proteins used were obtained from rabbit skeletal muscle. Pre-steady-state measurements were also performed to determine the rates of Vi association and dissociation from the actomyosin S1.ADP.Vi complex. Using these measured values in a simple model, the steady-state actomyosin S1 ATPase activity was predicted over a range of Vi concentrations. This model predicted that Vi would have little effect on the actomyosin S1 ATPase activity. In agreement with this prediction, the measured ATPase activity of actomyosin S1 was not greatly inhibited by Vi, except at high concentrations at which polymeric species of Vi may occur (greater than 900 microM).
