1299-Pos Board B367 Kinematics of the Lever Arm Swing in Myosin VI Mauro L. Mugnai, Dave Thirumalai. Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA. Similarly to other myosins, Myosin VI (MVI) uses the energy stored in ATP to move on the actin filament. During the power stroke, a structural transition initiated in the motor domain leads to the movement of the converter, which is exaggerated by the swinging lever arm. MVI, like Myosin V, can form dimers that walk processively on actin. The uniqueness of MVI emerges from the details of its motion: MVI walks towards the pointed end of the actin filament, and it does so undergoing an erratic stepping pattern, in which backward steps are combined with hand-over-hand and inchworm-like forward steps. Experimental evidence suggested that the lever arm of the leading head of a MVI dimer is uncoupled from the motor domain. We developed a model of the power stroke of MVI and we show that it occurs in two steps: first the motor domain, including the converter, reaches the post-stroke conformation without directing the lever arm forward. Secondly, the lever arm undergoes a diffusion towards its poststroke orientation, which is only weakly biased by the motor domain. The uncoupling of the lever arm during the power stroke occurs even without backward load, suggesting that it is a mechanism encoded in MVI strucutre. Also, a backward load compatible with the largest estimated interhead tension in a MVI dimer prevents the second step of the power stroke, suggesting that a MVI dimer leading head lever arm is uncoupled from the motor domain. Our model, without any adjustable parameters, provides results that are in quantitative agreement with polTIRF experiments monitoring the orientation of a calmodulin-bound probe, and they suggest that the two-step mechanism with an uncoupled lever arm might contribute to explaining the experimentally-observed combination of hand-over-hand and inchworm-like steps.
