[Kinetic study of the pH-dependence of maximal rate of Ca-ATP hydrolysis by myosin].
Curves of V pH-dependence for Ca ATPase of myosin and heavy meromyosin are demonstrated to be well modelled with theoretical curves for the case of proton dissociation at three groups of enzyme-substrate complex with the loss of the activity at some intermediate ionization stage. Variation of pK values for these three groups and the degree of inhibition for intermediate forms of enzyme-substrate complex are found to be sufficient to reproduce main varieties of described in the literature and obtained in this work multiformity of pH-dependence curves of different nucleoside triphosphates hydrolysis by both native and modified enzymes. Calculated pK values and modification data suggest a significant importance of the dissociation of two imidazole groups ("activating" and "inhibitory") and cisteine sulhydryl group for the catalytic activity of myosin. Inhibition of ATPase activity by increasing of KCl concentrations is found to be due first of all to a shift in pK values of "inhibitory" imidazole and sulhydryl groups.
