Abstract:
The kinetic mechanism of the nonclaret disjunctional protein (Ncd) motor was investigated using the dimer termed MC1 (residues 209-700), which has been shown to exhibit negative-end directed motility (Chandra et al., 1993). The kinetic properties are similar to those of the monomeric Ncd motor domain (Pechatnikova and Taylor, 1997). The maximum steady-state ATPase activity of 1.5 s(-1) is half as large as for the monomeric motor. Dissociation constants in the presence of nucleotides showed the same trend but with approximately a two-fold decrease in the values: K(d) values are 1.0 microM for ADP-AlF(4), 1.1 microM for ATPgammaS, 1.5 microM for ATP, 3 microM for ADP, and 10 microM for ADP-vanadate (in 25 mM NaCl, 22 degrees C). The apparent second-order rate constants for the binding of ATP and ADP to the microtubule-motor complex (MtMC1) are 2 microM(-1) s(-1). Based on measurements at high microtubule concentrations the kinetic steps were fitted to the scheme,[see text] where N refers to one head of the dimer and T, D, and P stand for ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate. k(1) and k(-4) are the first-order rate constants of the transition induced by the binding of mant ATP and mant ADP respectively. ADP release is the main rate-limiting step in the MtMC1 mechanism. The binding of the MC1-mant ADP complex to microtubules released less than half of the mant ADP (alternating site reactivity). The second mant ADP is only released by the binding of nucleotides that dissociate the MtMC1 complex (ATP and ADP but not AMPPNP). The apparent rate constant for dissociation of the second mant ADP is four times smaller than the first and much smaller than the rate of dissociation of MtMC1 by ATP or ADP. These results are explained by a model in which MC1.ADP is first dissociated from the microtubule by ATP, followed by rebinding to the microtubule by the ADP-containing head. Ncd may follow a different reaction pathway than does kinesin, but the differences in rate constants do not explain the opposite direction of motion. The kinetic evidence and the high ratio of motile velocity to ATPase support a nonprocessive, low duty cycle mechanism for the Ncd motor.

Kinetics processivity and the direction of motion of Ncd.

Abstract

The kinetic mechanism of the nonclaret disjunctional protein (Ncd) motor was investigated using the dimer termed MC1 (residues 209-700), which has been shown to exhibit negative-end directed motility (Chandra et al., 1993). The kinetic properties are similar to those of the monomeric Ncd motor domain (Pechatnikova and Taylor, 1997). The maximum steady-state ATPase activity of 1.5 s(-1) is half as large as for the monomeric motor. Dissociation constants in the presence of nucleotides showed the same trend but with approximately a two-fold decrease in the values: K(d) values are 1.0 microM for ADP-AlF(4), 1.1 microM for ATPgammaS, 1.5 microM for ATP, 3 microM for ADP, and 10 microM for ADP-vanadate (in 25 mM NaCl, 22 degrees C). The apparent second-order rate constants for the binding of ATP and ADP to the microtubule-motor complex (MtMC1) are 2 microM(-1) s(-1). Based on measurements at high microtubule concentrations the kinetic steps were fitted to the scheme,[see text] where N refers to one head of the dimer and T, D, and P stand for ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate. k(1) and k(-4) are the first-order rate constants of the transition induced by the binding of mant ATP and mant ADP respectively. ADP release is the main rate-limiting step in the MtMC1 mechanism. The binding of the MC1-mant ADP complex to microtubules released less than half of the mant ADP (alternating site reactivity). The second mant ADP is only released by the binding of nucleotides that dissociate the MtMC1 complex (ATP and ADP but not AMPPNP). The apparent rate constant for dissociation of the second mant ADP is four times smaller than the first and much smaller than the rate of dissociation of MtMC1 by ATP or ADP. These results are explained by a model in which MC1.ADP is first dissociated from the microtubule by ATP, followed by rebinding to the microtubule by the ADP-containing head. Ncd may follow a different reaction pathway than does kinesin, but the differences in rate constants do not explain the opposite direction of motion. The kinetic evidence and the high ratio of motile velocity to ATPase support a nonprocessive, low duty cycle mechanism for the Ncd motor.

Abstract

The kinetic mechanism of the nonclaret disjunctional protein (Ncd) motor was investigated using the dimer termed MC1 (residues 209-700), which has been shown to exhibit negative-end directed motility (Chandra et al., 1993). The kinetic properties are similar to those of the monomeric Ncd motor domain (Pechatnikova and Taylor, 1997). The maximum steady-state ATPase activity of 1.5 s(-1) is half as large as for the monomeric motor. Dissociation constants in the presence of nucleotides showed the same trend but with approximately a two-fold decrease in the values: K(d) values are 1.0 microM for ADP-AlF(4), 1.1 microM for ATPgammaS, 1.5 microM for ATP, 3 microM for ADP, and 10 microM for ADP-vanadate (in 25 mM NaCl, 22 degrees C). The apparent second-order rate constants for the binding of ATP and ADP to the microtubule-motor complex (MtMC1) are 2 microM(-1) s(-1). Based on measurements at high microtubule concentrations the kinetic steps were fitted to the scheme,[see text] where N refers to one head of the dimer and T, D, and P stand for ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate. k(1) and k(-4) are the first-order rate constants of the transition induced by the binding of mant ATP and mant ADP respectively. ADP release is the main rate-limiting step in the MtMC1 mechanism. The binding of the MC1-mant ADP complex to microtubules released less than half of the mant ADP (alternating site reactivity). The second mant ADP is only released by the binding of nucleotides that dissociate the MtMC1 complex (ATP and ADP but not AMPPNP). The apparent rate constant for dissociation of the second mant ADP is four times smaller than the first and much smaller than the rate of dissociation of MtMC1 by ATP or ADP. These results are explained by a model in which MC1.ADP is first dissociated from the microtubule by ATP, followed by rebinding to the microtubule by the ADP-containing head. Ncd may follow a different reaction pathway than does kinesin, but the differences in rate constants do not explain the opposite direction of motion. The kinetic evidence and the high ratio of motile velocity to ATPase support a nonprocessive, low duty cycle mechanism for the Ncd motor.
