Identification of functional regions on the tail of Acanthamoeba myosin-II using recombinant fusion proteins. I. High resolution epitope mapping and characterization of monoclonal antibody binding sites.
|
| description: |
Serial deletions of myosin-II C-terminal tail were tested for monoclonal antibody binding. Monoclonal antibody M2.31 (isotype IgG2b) bound to the epitope with no effct on actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase and inhibition of contraction of gelled cytoplasmic extracts. M2.31 did not inhibit assembly of myosin polymers. Electron microscopic localization of antibody binding sites correlated well with deletion mapping. M2.31 and M2.9 compete each other for binding to myosin-II in a solid phase assay.
