  • Title: Proteolysis and binding of myosin subfragment 1 to actin.
    Author: Chen T, Liu J, Reisler E.
    Journal: J Mol Biol; 1987 Apr 05; 194(3):565-8. PubMed ID: 3625775.
    Abstract:
    Rates of proteolytic cleavage of myosin subfragment 1 were measured in the absence and presence of different amounts of actin. The rates of tryptic digestion at the 50K/20K junction and papain digestion at the 25K/50K junction of the myosin head were progressively inhibited with increasing substoichiometric molar ratios of actin to myosin subfragment 1. The percentage inhibitions of digestion reactions corresponded precisely to the molar compositions of actin-subfragment 1 solutions and demonstrated that equimolar complexes of these proteins were responsible for the observed changes in the proteolysis of myosin heads.
