Notes
- Biophysical studies with myosin motor fragments (heavy meromyosin; HMM and subfragment 1; S1) adsorbed to artificial surfaces, are important for elucidation of actomyosin function. In spite of the widespread use of such in vitro motility assays and single molecule studies, little is known about the adsorption geometry and effects of protein-surface interactions on the motor properties. Here, we investigate these factors with focus on HMM using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) and total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) spectroscopy based ATPase assays. In the latter, we monitored the turnover of Alexa-fluor647-ATP (Alexa-ATP) by surface adsorbed HMM. Studies were performed with HMM/S1 adsorbed to model hydrophilic (SiO2) or hydrophobic (trimethyl-chlorosilane [TMCS] - derivatized) surfaces. The results suggest that adsorption of HMM is weakened on SiO2 (but not on TMCS) at high (245 mM) compared to low (65 mM) ionic strengths. The changes in ionic strength were also associated with structural changes in the protein layer according to QCM-D studies. Moreover, the TIRF based ATPase assay suggested a larger fraction of HMM molecules with low catalytic activity on SiO2. These and other TIRF and QCM-D results, suggest that HMM preferentially adsorbs to negatively charged hydrophilic surfaces via the actin-binding region. In contrast, the majority of the HMM molecules seem to adsorb via their C-terminal tail on moderately hydrophobic surfaces. In the latter case the catalytic sites appear to be close to, but not immobilized on the surface. The results with HMM were compared to, and found consistent with, QCM-D and TIRF-data obtained with S1 motor fragments.
