    Opis:
    The epidemics of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) several decades ago and present epidemics of chronic wasting disease (CWD) among cervids posed a threat of cross-species infections to humans or other animals. Therefore, the question as to the molecular nature of the species barriers to transmissibility of prion diseases is very important. We approached this problem theoretically, first developing a model of template-monomer interaction based on logical and topological grounds and on experimental data about cross-seeding of PrP 23-144 protein orthologs. Further, we propose that the strength of the cross-seeding barriers is proportional to dissimilarity of key amyloidogenic regions of the proteins. This dissimilarity can be measured by dissimilarity function we propose. Scaled on experimental data, this function predicts if cross-seeding can occur between different variants of PrP23-144. The resemblance of PrP23-144 cross-seeding barriers to the barriers of cross-species transmissibility of prion diseases is discussed. We suggest that a similar theoretical approach could be applied to predicting the occurrence of species barriers of prion diseases at least in part corresponding to the process of multiplication of infectious agent.

    Opis:
    In order to compare the ability of different isoforms of myosin essential light chain to interact with actin, the effect of the latter protein on the proteolytic susceptibility of myosin light chains (MLC-1S and MLC-1V - slow specific and same as ventricular isoform) from slow skeletal muscle was examined. Actin protects both slow muscle essential light chain isoforms from papain digestion, similarly as observed for fast skeletal muscle myosin (Nieznańska et al., 1998, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1383: 71). The effect of actin decreases as ionic strength rises above physiological values for both fast and slow skeletal myosin, confirming the ionic character of the actin-essential light chain interaction. To better understand the role of this interaction, we examined the effect of synthetic peptides spanning the 10-amino-acid N-terminal sequences of myosin light chain 1 from fast skeletal muscle (MLC-1F) (MLCFpep: KKDVKKPAAA), MLC-1S (MLCSpep: KKDVPVKKPA) and MLC-1V (MLCVpep: KPEPKKDDAK) on the myofibrillar ATPase of fast and slow skeletal muscle. In the presence of MLCFpep, we observed an about 19% increase, and in the presence of MLCSpep about 36% increase, in the myofibrillar ATPase activity of fast muscle. On the other hand, in myofibrillar preparations from slow skeletal muscle, MLCSpep as well as MLCVpep caused a lowering of the ATPase activity by about 36%. The above results suggest that MLCSpep induces opposite effects on ATPase activity, depending on the type of myofibrils, but not through its specific N-terminal sequence - which differs from other MLC N-terminal peptides. Our observations lead to the conclusion that the action of different isoforms of long essential light chain is similar in slow and fast skeletal muscle. However the interaction of essential light chains with actin leads to different physiological effects probably depending on the isoforms of other myofibrillar proteins.

    Opis:
    In the previous study (Podlubnaya et al., 1999, J. Struc. Biol. 127, 1-15) Ca2+-induced reversible structural transitions in synthetic filaments of pure fast skeletal and cardiac muscle myosins were observed under rigor conditions (-Ca2+/+ Ca2+). In the present work these studies have been extended to new more order-producing conditions (presence of ATP in the absence of Ca2+) aimed at arresting the relaxed structure in synthetic filaments of both fast and slow skeletal muscle myosin. Filaments were formed from column-purified myosins (rabbit fast skeletal muscle and rabbit slow skeletal semimebranosus proprius muscle). In the presence of 0.1 mM free Ca2+, 3 mM Mg2+ and 2 mM ATP (activating conditions) these filaments had a spread structure with a random arrangement of myosin heads and subfragments 2 protruding from the filament backbone. Such a structure is indistinguishable from the filament structures observed previously for fast skeletal, cardiac (see reference cited above) and smooth (Podlubnaya et al., 1999, J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 20, 547-554) muscle myosins in the presence of 0.1 mM free Ca2+. In the absence of Ca2+ and in the presence of ATP (relaxing conditions) the filaments of both studied myosins revealed a compact ordered structure. The fast skeletal muscle myosin filaments exhibited an axial periodicity of about 14.5 nm and which was much more pronounced than under rigor conditions in the absence of Ca2+ (see the first reference cited). The slow skeletal muscle myosin filaments differ slightly in their appearance from those of fast muscle as they exhibit mainly an axial repeat of about 43 nm while the 14.5 nm repeat is visible only in some regions. This may be a result of a slightly different structural properties of slow skeletal muscle myosin. We conclude that, like other filaments of vertebrate myosins, slow skeletal muscle myosin filaments also undergo the Ca2+-induced structural order-disorder transitions. It is very likely that all vertebrate muscle myosins possess such a property.
