Actin-myosin interaction: the role of myosin in determining the actin pattern in self-assembled 'hybrid' contractile units
Abstract
Self-assembly of actin-myosin filamentous complexes was assayed by polymerizing rabbit G-ADP actin on formed filaments of lobster myosin. The resulting contractile units indicate a 12-member actin orbital rather than the six-member orbital obtained previously using rabbit myosin and actin. Furthermore, the pattern of actin distribution surrounding the myosin filament is similar to that of the lobster tonic muscle sarcomere rather than the trigonal actin position characteristic of vertebrate muscle. The results show that the pattern and mode of actin complexing is determined by the specific myosin and the arrangement of the cross-bridges on the organized filament.
