Cardiac myosin from thyrotoxic animals (myosin-T) exhibits elevated Ca2+ -ATPase activity which is resistant to further stimulation by sulfhydryl modification. In the present study, we have compared the enzymatic properties of myosin-T with those of myosin from euthyroid rabbits (myosin-N) and the derivatives of myosin-T and myosin-N formed by blocking the most rapidly reacting class of thiols (SH1) with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Vmax for Ca2+ -ATPase of myosin-T was about 250% greater than… CONTINUE READING
