The effect of Ca2+ on physicochemical and conformational changes of threadfin bream (TB) myosin and actin during setting at 25 and 40 degrees C was investigated. Ca2+ ion at 10 to 100 mM induced the unfolding of myosin and. actin as evident by an increase of surface hydrophobicity (S(o)ANS) at 40 degrees C. Total SH groups also decreased with an increased Call concentration, suggesting that Ca2+ promoted the formation of disulfide bonds during setting at 40 degrees C.Both hydrophobic interactions and disulfide linkages were involved in formation of myosin aggregates at 40 degrees C and were enhanced by addition of 10 to 100 mM Ca2+. Myosin Ca-ATPase activity decreased when Ca2+ was greater than 50 mM, indicating conformational changes of myosin head. Circular dichroism spectra demonstrated that Ca2+ reduced the a-helical content of myosin and actin incubated at either 25 or 40 degrees C. Ca2+ induced conformational changes of TB myosin and actin incubated at 40 degrees C to a greater extent than at 25 degrees C.
