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）：肌球蛋白是结合ATP和肌动蛋白的分子马达，通过引起两种蛋白质的相对翻译来产生工作。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，以抵抗阻力翻译肌动蛋白。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，并且在肌球蛋白 ATP 酶的肌动蛋白激活中受到肌动蛋白变构的影响。这些影响是通过蛋白质矩阵通过突变（自然发生的和计算启发的）、分子动力学模拟（MD）和结构/功能测定研究的耦合途径进行的。研究确定的两条耦合途径介导肌球蛋白 ATP 酶的肌动蛋白激活和触发色氨酸核苷酸敏感性的构象变化，这可能将小活性位点位移与较大的杠杆臂运动联系起来。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，然后观察耦合途径的修改如何影响这些关系。人类骨骼肌球蛋白变异在运动生理学、人类疾病和人口多样性中发挥着重要作用。这些变体涉及广泛分散的氨基酸取代，覆盖了几个功能必需的区域，并且自然地嵌入了通过耦合途径发现功能域互连性的线索。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至关重要。肌球蛋白 MD 模拟提供了对耦合途径如何执行的补充见解。 MD 引入了因果关系测试，以顺序时间识别耦合网络的源、路径和终止，这是有能力的电机的组成部分。适用于色氨酸核苷酸敏感性的因果关系测试已与强直平滑肌肌球蛋白的实验结果趋同，表明色氨酸核苷酸敏感性可能与天然肌球蛋白中的杠杆臂运动脱节。一种新的实验因果旋转/位移指标，可量化有效肌球蛋白循环的完成情况，将在体外测定中将肌球蛋白杠杆臂旋转与结合肌动蛋白丝（F-肌动蛋白）的位移相关联。二分子技术利用肌球蛋白上的绿色荧光蛋白 (GFP) 以及与 F-肌动蛋白结合的荧光探针的纳米分辨率定位。肌球蛋白变体适应专门的功能，与人类疾病有关，或源于群体多样性，被挖掘以深入了解功能差异。 MD 模拟引入因果关系来表征肌球蛋白耦合网络，并产生可通过实验检验的假设。因果二分子测定可测试有效肌球蛋白循环的完成情况，并表征肌球蛋白取代肌动蛋白的能力。这些分析工具是解决肌肉肌球蛋白转导和运动问题的下一代方法。公众健康相关性：骨骼肌球蛋白是肌肉收缩的发动机。它将化学能转化为有用运动的能力对于我们过上幸福和富有成效的生活的能力至关重要。拟议的研究促进了对其能量转换塑造方法设计的理解，以了解如何修复故障电机以及如何使其适应肌肉生产力限制人类潜力的应用。
