Theo Wallimann and Andrew G. Szent-Gyorgyi* abstract: Specific antibodies directed against the regulatory light chains (R-LC) or essential light chains (SH-LC) of scallop myosin abolished calcium regulation in myofibrils, myosin, and heavy meromyosin by elevating the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity in theabsence of calcium. Calcium dependence was completely eliminated at molar ratios of 2.5-3 antibodies bound per myosin. Monovalentanti-R-LC Fab and anti-SH-LC Fab fragments also desensitized myofibrils fully. High Ca2+-ATPase activity remained unaffected by the an-tibodies. Anti-SH-LC IgG reduced to about one-half the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase in the presence of calcium and the potassium-activated ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-ATPase activities. Anti-SH-LC Fab, however, de-sensitized without inhibiting the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase. The desensitizing effect of both antibodies was abolished by prior absorption with the homologous myosin light chain. Calcium binding and R-LC content remained unaffected by anti-R-LC and anti-SH-LC IgG’s and by anti-SH-LC Fab. The anti-R-LC Fab fragment induced a significant (70%) dissociation of R-LC from myofibrils and myosins with con-comitant losses in calcium binding. In contrast, anti-R-LC IgG prevented the dissociation of R-LC frommyosin byEDTA. Binding of anti-R-LC IgG to myofibrils was proportional to their R-LC content. Increased amounts of anti-SH-LC IgG were bound by myofibrils devoid of R-LC. Bound anti-SH-LC antibody significantly inhibited the re-uptake of R-LC by EDTA-treated myofibrils as well as the full binding of anti-R-LC antibody. Certain rabbits produced a population of anti-SH-LC antibodies which were specific for this light chainand bound extensively to myosin but failed to desensitize it (nondesensitizing anti-SH-LC antibody). The desensitizing and nondesensitizing anti-SH-LC IgG popula-tions bound to different regions of the SH-LC on the myosin, and the binding of the two types of antibody to the SH-LC was nearly additive. The nondensitizing SH-antibody inhibited the reuptake of R-LC less, and its binding to myofibrils was not influenced by the absence of R-LC. These studies indicate a direct or indirect involvement of the SH-LC’s in myosin-linked regulation, raise the possibility of an interaction between the R-LC and SH-LC, and confirm the regulatory function of the scallop R-LC. A model for a relative location of the two types of light chains and the involvement of the sub-fragment-2 region of myosin in myosin linked regulation is discussed.
