アブストラクト
The position of the N terminus of myosin light chain 1 (LC1) and myosin light chain 2 (LC2) of rabbit skeletal muscle was mapped on the myosin head with a monoclonal antibody (SⅠ304), which recognizes the amino acid sequence N-trimethylalanyl-prolyl-lysyl-lysyl at the N terminus of LC1 and LC2. The complex of the antibody and myosin was observed by electron microscopy. By selective cleavage of the N terminus of LC1 or LC2 with papain or chymotrypsin, the position of the N terminus of LC1 and LC2 was determined separately. The N terminus of LC2 is located at the head-rod junction. The N terminus of LC1 is 11nm(±3nm, standard deviation) from the head-rod junction. This position is near the actin-binding site of the myosin head.
