摘要
Muscle contraction is driven by the relative sliding of actin- and myosin-containing filaments. This process can be reconstituted in in vitro motility assays, where fluorescent actin filaments travel over a lawn of myosin heads. The velocity of the traveling actin filaments has been shown to depend strongly on the free adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration, but below 2-4 mu M ATP, filament movement is consistently abolished. Here we report that after a brief exposure of actomyosin to 1 mM ATP, actin filament motility persists down to nanomolar ATP concentrations.
