  1. The Role of the Proximal Tail in the Large Steps of Myosin VI Ron Rock University of Chicago

  2. Myosin II and F-Actin Architecture Catalytic Domain Coiled Coil RLC ELC Myosin II: Hexamer of 2 Heavy Chains & 4 Light Chains F-Actin: Polymer of actin monomers 36 nm Pointed End Barbed End

  3. The Myosin II Chemomechanical Cycle

  4. D Step Size and the Lever Arm The light chain binding domain is believed to rotate upon binding to actin Result: Small structural changes in the catalytic domain are amplified

  5. Step Size Correlates to Lever Arm Length for Myosin II • Velocities in gliding filament assays correlate Uyeda et al. PNAS 93 4459 (1996) • Step sizes correlate Warshaw et al. JBC 275 37167 (2000) Ruff et al. Nat. Str. Biol. 8 226 (2001)

  6. Myosin Classes

  7. Myosin Properties

  8. Total Internal Reflection Microscopy

  9. Myosins V and VI are Processive V VI

  10. A Hand-Over-Hand Model • Myosin V and VI walk… • … in a hand-over-hand manner … • … using two catalytic heads

  11. A Hand-Over-Hand Model D rate-limiting T P

  12. Hand-Over-Hand Motility Matthew L. Walker, Stan A. Burgess, James R. Sellers, Fei Wang, John A. Hammer III, John Trinick & Peter J. Knight. Nature, 405 , 804-807 (2000).

  13. Two Actin Tracks Myosin V Can Cross Actin Filaments

  14. How Does Myosin V Cross Filaments? Flexibility here? Side View Diffusive Search? Top View

  15. Optical Trap Design Brightfield Trap Steering

  16. Dual Bead Force Clamp

  18. Myosin VI Stepping in the Trap VI V

  19. Myosin V and VI Takes Large Steps • Mean step is near the actin helical repeat • (VI) Large steps, much larger than expected from lever arm model • (VI) Distribution very broad (30 ± 12 nm) • (VI) Many backsteps (toward barbed end) • (-13 ± 8 nm) VI V

  20. Myosin V and VI Stepping Model Coiled-coil unfolds

  21. How does myosin VI take such large steps? VI V

  22. The two heads of myosin VI can separate 27 ± 6 nm (SD)

  23. The proximal tail is not predicted to be a coiled-coil

  24. Less than half of the processive stepsize is generated by the working stroke Similar to Myosin V: Veigel et al., Nat. Struct. Bio. 4 59 (2002)

  25. The proximal tail does not act as a rigid lever arm N = 195 11.9 ± 1.2 nm (SE)

  26. The proximal tail does not act as a rigid lever arm X

  27. The proximal tail is exposed and sensitive to proteolysis by V8 protease Solid arrows indicate 97 kD band. Uncut Myosin VI is 146 kD. Actin:myosin is at 6:1 mol ratio and nucleotides are at 2 mM unless indicated.

  28. The proximal tail allows separation of the heads to produce a large step M6-2hepzip V858 to S888 -> GCN4 19 ± 2 nm (SD)

  29. The proximal tail allows separation of the heads to produce a large step

  30. Myosin VI and 2hepzip stepping model

  31. Myosin VI stepping model

  34. Full-length myosin VI is a monomer A form of motor regulation like Unc104?
