Thin-filament preparations from four smooth muscle types (gizzard, stomach, trachea, aorta) all activate myosin MgATPase activity, are regulated by Ca2+, and contain actin, tropomyosin and a 120000-140000-Mr protein in the molar proportions 1:1/7:1/26. The 120000-140000-Mr protein from all sources is a potent inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase activity. Peptide-mapping and immunological evidence is presented showing that it is identical with caldesmon. Quantitative immunological data suggest that caldesmon is a component of all the thin filaments and that the thin-filament-bound caldesmon accounts for all the caldesmon in intact tissue. The myosin light-chain kinase content of thin-filament preparations was found to be negligible. We propose that caldesmon-based thin-filament Ca2+ regulation is a physiological mechanism in all smooth muscles.
