Each S1 consists of a heavy chain and two light chains, the ELC and the RLC. The atomic model of the S1 subfragment was constructed using two X-ray crystallography models. The heavy chain residues from ala2 to leu819 as well as the essential light chain were obtained from the chicken smooth muscle structure, PDB entry 1BR1, chains A and B. The remainder of S1 including heavy chain residues from glu820 to lys852 (smooth muscle numbering but skeletal myosin sequence) were obtained from residues glu811-lys843 of chicken skeletal muscle myosin, PDB entry 2MYS, since the structure of the entire smooth muscle S1 fragment is not available. Note that the residue numbers for the chain segment from 2MYS that were spliced onto 1BR1 have been renumbered to run consecutively from 819 but the residues themselves are the chicken skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain residues. The regulatory light chain coordinates were also obtained from 2MYS (skeletal) because a smooth muscle myosin model is not available. This regulatory light chain consisted only of C alphas. In fitting the model to the molecular envelope, the lever arm of the free head, i.e. ELC, RLC and heavy chain residues from ile796-lys852, were rotated as a rigid body about the Calpha of ile796. The amount of rotation was about 20 degrees. The blocked head was not modified. The alignment of 2MYS to 1BR1 was done using the conserved residues on the essential light chain. This alignment was carried out using O. The rms of the fit using 123 C alpha atoms of the conserved residues was 1.632 Angstroms. The C alpha distance between leu819 and glu811 (2MYS residue number) after the transformation was 4.23 Angstroms. This distance has not been altered in the model. The splice site at 819-820 is also slightly long and was left that way so the splice site would be easily visible. The other long bonds are at locations where the chain was bent to fit the structure. No minimization or refinement was done to fix them. The following residues have long peptide bond distances- chain S- LEU 819 and GLU 820 THR 854 and ARG 855 MET 860 and GLN 861 GLN 903 and ALA 904 chain V- LEU 819 and GLU 820 LYS 852 and VAL 853 MET 860 and GLN 861 GLN 903 and ALA 904 The 91 residues of the S2 fragment built into the model were calculated using a program written by Dr. Gerald Offer (reference 4). These coordinates consist only of backbone atoms. The S2 sequence begins at val853 which is the correct residue number for smooth muscle myosin. Peptide chain designations- Blocked myosin S1 head myosin heavy chain (with S2 segment) is chain V ELC is chain W RLC is chain Z Free myosin S1 head myosin heavy chain (with S2 fragment) is chain S ELC is chain T RLC is chain U The terms blocked and free refer to the conformations of the two S1 heads. SEQUENCE GAPS IN THE MOLECULAR MODEL- Myosin heavy chain- 205-210, 452-457, 635-655, 944-1185. ELC- 1-2. RLC (skeletal)- 1-18, 127, 142-147, 164-166.
