Measurement of myosin adenosinetriphosphatase and myosin content in cultured heart cells
Abstract
An assay specific for myosin ATPase in whole-cell extracts of cultured heart cells has been developed. Myosin ATPase is measured by the production of Pi from ATP in the presence of high ionic strength (0.5 M KCl) at pH 9.1. Enzyme activity is maximal with 10 mM CaCl2 and completely inhibited with 5 mM MgCl2. Spontaneously beating myocytes grown in the presence of 10% newborn calf serum and 0.1 mM 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine show a significant rise in myosin ATPase between Days 1 and 4 in culture. The measurement of myosin ATPase allows for the quantitation of cellular myosin content, and can be used to assess changes in myosin content that occur during growth, development, and cellular repair.
