项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Myosin is a molecular motor binding ATP and actin to produce work by causing relative translation of the two proteins. Myosin contains a lever arm probably executing a power stroke by rotating through an angle of ~70o to translate actin against resistive force. ATP hydrolysis at myosin's active site energizes contraction by influencing lever arm movement and is influenced by allostery with actin in actin-activation of myosin ATPase. The influences are conducted through the protein matrix by coupling pathways investigated by mutation (naturally occurring and computation inspired), molecular dynamics simulation (MD), and structure/function assays. Two coupling pathways identified for study mediate actin-activation of myosin ATPase and conformation change triggering tryptophan nucleotide sensitivity that might link small active site displacements to the larger lever arm movement. The goal of the project is to elucidate the native relationships among actin binding, active site conformation, lever arm rotation and protein displacement and then to observe how these relationships are affected by modifications introduced to coupling pathways. Human skeletal myosin variants play a fundamental role in exercise physiology, human disease, and population diversity. The variants involve widely dispersed amino acid substitutions covering several regions essential to function and are naturally embedded clues to discovering functional domain interconnectedness through the coupling pathways. They implicate sites for mutagenesis in model proteins and are essential for correlation of myosin functional alteration to phenotype. Myosin MD simulation provides complementary insights into how coupling pathways perform. MD introduces the causality test identifying source, path, and termination of coupling networks in sequential time that is an integral part of the competent motor. Causality testing applied to tryptophan nucleotide sensitivity has converged with experimental findings from a tonic smooth muscle myosin to suggest tryptophan nucleotide sensitivity could disconnect from lever arm movement in native myosin. A new experimental causal rotation/displacement metric, quantifying completion of a productive myosin cycle, will correlate myosin lever arm rotation with displacement of a bound actin filament (F-actin) in an in vitro assay. The two-molecule technique utilizes a green fluorescent protein (GFP) on myosin and nanometer resolution localization of a fluorescent probe bound to F-actin. Myosin variants that are, adapted to specialize function, implicated in human disease, or sourced in population diversity, are mined for insight into functional divergence. MD simulation introduces causality to characterize myosin coupling networks and produces experimentally testable hypotheses. A causal two-molecule assay tests completion of a productive myosin cycle and characterizes myosin's ability to displace actin. These analytical tools are next-generation methods addressing transduction and motility in muscle myosin. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Skeletal myosin is the motor in muscle powering contraction. Its ability to convert chemical energy to useful movement is fundamental to our ability to lead happy and productive lives. The proposed research promotes understanding of its design for energy conversion shaping approaches for how to repair an ailing motor and how to adapt it to applications where muscle productivity is limiting human potential.
描述(由申请人提供):肌球蛋白是一种分子马达,结合ATP和肌动蛋白,通过引起两种蛋白质的相对翻译产生功。肌球蛋白包含一个杠杆臂,可能通过旋转约70 °的角度来执行动力冲程,以克服阻力平移肌动蛋白。肌球蛋白活性位点的ATP水解通过影响杠杆臂运动来激发收缩,并且在肌动蛋白激活肌球蛋白ATP酶中受到肌动蛋白的变构作用的影响。通过突变(自然发生和计算启发),分子动力学模拟(MD)和结构/功能测定研究的耦合途径,通过蛋白质基质进行的影响。研究中确定的两个耦合途径介导肌动蛋白激活肌球蛋白ATP酶和构象变化触发色氨酸核苷酸的敏感性,可能会连接小的活性位点位移较大的杠杆臂运动。该项目的目标是阐明肌动蛋白结合,活性位点构象,杠杆臂旋转和蛋白质位移之间的天然关系,然后观察这些关系是如何通过引入耦合途径的修饰而受到影响的。人类骨骼肌球蛋白变体在运动生理学、人类疾病和人群多样性中起着重要作用。这些变体涉及广泛分布的氨基酸取代,覆盖了几个对功能至关重要的区域,并且是通过偶联途径发现功能结构域互连性的天然嵌入线索。它们涉及模型蛋白质中的诱变位点,并且对于肌球蛋白功能改变与表型的相关性是必不可少的。肌球蛋白MD模拟提供了互补的见解耦合途径如何执行。MD引入了因果关系测试,识别源,路径,并在连续的时间耦合网络的终止,这是一个组成部分的主管电机。应用于色氨酸核苷酸敏感性的因果关系测试与强直性平滑肌肌球蛋白的实验结果一致,表明色氨酸核苷酸敏感性可能与天然肌球蛋白的杠杆臂运动断开。一个新的实验因果旋转/位移度量,量化完成生产性肌球蛋白循环,将肌球蛋白杠杆臂旋转与位移的绑定肌动蛋白丝(F-肌动蛋白)在体外试验。双分子技术利用肌球蛋白上的绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)和与F-肌动蛋白结合的荧光探针的纳米分辨率定位。肌球蛋白的变体,适应专门的功能,涉及人类疾病,或来源于人口的多样性,挖掘洞察功能分歧。MD模拟引入因果关系来表征肌球蛋白偶联网络,并产生实验可检验的假设。因果双分子测定测试完成一个生产性肌球蛋白周期和肌球蛋白的能力,取代肌动蛋白的特点。这些分析工具是解决肌肉肌球蛋白中的转导和运动的下一代方法。公共卫生相关性:骨骼肌肌球蛋白是肌肉收缩的动力。它将化学能转化为有用运动的能力是我们过上幸福和富有成效生活的基础。拟议的研究促进了对其能量转换成形方法设计的理解,以了解如何修复生病的电机,以及如何使其适应肌肉生产力限制人类潜力的应用。
