Figure 1 Crystal structures of myosin in three conformations are shown docked onto a model of the actin filament. The actin filament is shown on the left in yellow. The catalytic domains of the three myosin structures were aligned using the central four strands of the β sheet that underlies the nucleotide. The structure of scallop S1, comprising the catalytic domain and the light chain (LC) domain extending downward, is shown in blue [7]. The LC domain of chicken skeletal S1 (representing a class I structure) is shown in red extending at about 45° to the actin filament [11]. The LC domain of smooth muscle S1 complexed with ADP·AIF4 (representing a class II structure) is shown extending upward in magenta [5]. The domain shown consists of the essential light chain from smooth S1 and a regulatory light chain modeled in from skeletal S1. The catalytic domains of the latter two structures are not shown. The catalytic domains of all three were aligned on actin using the chicken S1 structure, following Rayment et al. [11]. It should be noted that none of the S1 structures was obtained in a complex with actin, so their alignment on actin is hypothetical. In the power stroke, myosin–ADP·Pi is thought to bind initially to actin in the conformation with the LC domain in the up orientation. Following release of phosphate, the LC domain would rotate from the up orientation to the 45° orientation, producing a translation of about 100 å . At this point, the release of ADP and subsequent rapid binding of ATP would detach the myosin from actin. Thus, the down orientation of the LC domain would not occur during the power stroke. If the myosin is not detached in the 45° conformation, though, the relative motion of the filaments might drag the LC domain into a down orientation, as depicted in Figure 2. Although the three S1s shown come from different species, the comparison of their structures is probably valid because of the high degree of conservation within the myosin head.

Figure 2 A schematic showing how the three orientations of the light chain (LC) domain might fit into the actomyosin cycle. The LC domain is shown in orientations found for the pre-power stroke class II state (magenta), the class I state (red), and the new scallop S1–ADP state (blue). The state of the nucleotide bound to the myosin (yellow) is shown next to the catalytic domain. Myosin is shown on the left detached from actin. In the presence of ATP or ADP·Pi, the LC domain can assume a variety of conformations, although the state of the nucleotide may provide some bias towards one orientation or another. Although these structures may be only weakly coupled to the state of the nucleotide in the absence of a bond with actin, an efficient force-generating cycle can still be achieved by assuming that only the class II structures are capable of binding to actin at the beginning of the power stroke, as shown in the upper right. The transition from the pre-power stroke class II state to the class I state, favored by a stronger bond with actin, would exert a force on the thick filament, moving it in the direction shown by the arrow, by a distance of approximately 100 å . This transition is postulated to represent the full power stroke in striated muscle fibers. The transition between the class I state and the new state would extend this power stroke, but is not thought to occur. Alternatively, if the myosin head is not detached at the end of the power stroke, the relative motion of the filaments would result in the LC domain being pulled into the new orientation, as shown at bottom right. When the LC domain is forced into this conformation, the myosin is postulated to bind weakly to actin and is thus easily detached mechanically, as shown at bottom left. The crystal structure suggests that myosin in this conformation has its catalytic domain returned to the ATP state. This could allow it to rebind Pi and return to the class I and class II states, a transition that is postulated to be energetically allowed. The addition to the cycle shown by the two states at bottom left and right is only hypothetical.
