摘要: Abstract Myosin has been modified with near stoichiometric amounts of the bifunctional reagent [14C]p-N,N'-phenylenedimaleimide (pPDM) in presence MgADP under conditions which abolish its ATPase activity. Subsequent carboxymethylation and CNBr cleavage results 14C label being associated a single polypeptide Mr approximately 10,000. Amino acid composition partial sequence analysis this peptide showed that it corresponded to containing -SH1 -SH2 sequenced by Elzinga Collins (Elzinga, M., Collins, J.H. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 4281-4284) labeled at or N-ethylmaleimide Kunz et al. (Kunz, P.A., Walser, J.T., Watterson, J.G., Schaub, M.C. FEBS Lett. 83, 137-140). These data indicating pPDM does -SH1- -SH2-containing region myosin covalently bridging them shows these thiols can approach within 12 14 A.
