In striated muscle, regulation of actin-myosin interactions depends on a series of conformational changes within the thin. lament that result in a shifting of the tropomyosin-troponin complex between distinct locations on actin. The major factors activating the. lament are Ca2+ and strongly bound myosin heads. Many lines of evidence also point to an active role of actin in the regulation. Involvement of the actin C-terminus in binding of tropomyosin-troponin in different activation states and the regulation of actin-myosin interactions were examined using actin modified by proteolytic removal of three C-terminal amino acids. Actin C-terminal modification has no effect on the binding of tropomyosin or tropomyosin-troponin + Ca2+, but it reduces tropomyosin-troponin affinity in the absence of Ca2+. In contrast, myosin S1 induces binding of tropomyosin to truncated actin more readily than to native actin. The rate of actin-activated myosin S1 ATPase activity is reduced by actin truncation both in the absence and presence of tropomyosin. The Ca2+-dependent regulation of the ATPase activity is preserved. Without Ca2+ the ATPase activity is fully inhibited, but in the presence of Ca2+ the activation does not reach the level observed for native actin. The results suggest that through long-range allosteric interactions the actin C-terminus participates in the thin. lament regulation.
