Two different methods, high-porosity gel electrophoresis and a fractionation technique, were used to follow the cross-linking of myosin heads (subfragment 1) and rod segments to the thick filament backbone. Contrary to earlierreports [Sutoh, K., & Harrington, W. F.(1977) Biochemistry 16, 2441-2449; Sutoh, K., Chiao, Y. C., & Harrington, W. F.(1978) Biochemistry 17, 1234-1239; Chiao, Y. C., & Harrington, W. F.(1979) Biochemistry 18,959-963], we find that the heads of the myosin molecules are not cross-linked to the thick filament surface by dimethyl suberimidate. The time dependence of cross-linking rod segments within the core was monitored by a disulfide oxidation procedureto distinguish between intermolecular and intramolecular cross-linking. Comparison of theextent of the cross-linking reaction within myofibrils and the isometric force developed within fibers at various stages of cross-linking shows that isometric force is abolished in parallel with the formation of high molecular weight (cross-linked) rod species (> A/r 1000K). The myofibrillar ATPase remains virtually unaffected by the cross-linking reaction.
