摘要: Caldesmon was purified to homogeneity from both chicken gizzard and bovine aortic smooth muscles. aorta slightly larger than caldesmon gizzards (Mr = 140,000) when the two were compared electrophoretically. bound tightly actin saturating at a molar ratio of 1 monomer per 6.6 monomers. Ca2+-calmodulin appeared reduce affinity for actin. also potent inhibitor heavy actomeromyosin ATPase activity producing maximal effect 7-10 This antagonized by Ca2+-calmodulin. While inhibited activity, it greatly enhanced binding unphosphorylated phosphorylated meromyosin in presence MgATP, reducing Kd factor 40 each form meromyosin. Although we did identify Ca2+-calmodulin-stimulated "caldesmon kinase" preparations under nondenaturing conditions, observed no phosphorylation (2 mol PO4/mol caldesmon) on capacity inhibit activity. Our results suggest that could serve some role muscle function enhancing cross-bridge while inhibiting actomyosin
