Research paper thumbnail of Unbinding force of a single motor molecule of muscle measured using optical tweezers

We have measured the unbinding force between an actin filament and a single motor molecule of muscle, myosin, in the absence of ATP, by pulling the filament with optical tweezers. The unbinding force could be measured repeatedly on the same molecule, and was independent of the number of measurements and the direction of the imposed loads within a range of +/- 90 degrees. The average unbinding force was 9.2 +/- 4.4 pN, only a few times larger than the sliding force but an order of magnitude smaller than other intermolecular forces. From its kinetics we suggest that unbinding occurs sequentially at the molecular interface, which is an inherent property of motor molecules.

Research paper thumbnail of Three-Dimensional Superlocalization Imaging of Gliding Mycoplasma mobile by Extraordinary Light Transmission through Arrayed Nanoholes

EOT is produced by surface plasmon confinement and coupling with nanostructures. Bacterial fluorescence is excited by the localized fields for subdiffraction-limited sampling. The concept was applied to elucidating bacterial dynamics of gliding Mycoplasma mobile (M. mobile). The results analyzed with multiple M. mobile bacteria show individual characters and reveal that M. mobile undergoes a significant axial variation at 94 nm. The sampling error of the method is estimated to be much smaller than 1/10 of the diffraction limit both in the lateral and depth axis. The method provides a powerful tool for investigation of biomolecular dynamics at subwavelength precision.

Using three-dimensional tracking microscopy, we found that contrary to previous reports Tetrahymena ciliary three-headed outer-arm dynein (αβγ) as well as proteolytically generated two-headed (βγ) and one-headed (α) subparticles showed clockwise rotation of each sliding microtubule around its longitudinal axis in microtubule corkscrewing assays. By measuring the rotational pitch as a function of ATP concentration, we also found that the microtubule corkscrewing pitch is independent of ATP concentration, except at low ATP concentrations where the pitch generated by both three-headed αβγ and one-headed α exhibited significantly longer pitch. In contrast, the pitch driven by two-headed βγ did not display this sensitivity. In the assays on lawns containing mixtures of α and βγ at various ratios, the corkscrewing pitch increased dramatically in a nonlinear fashion as the ratio of α in the mixture increased. Even sma...

To study the gliding mechanism at the molecular level, we applied an assay with a fluorescently labeled and membrane-permeabilized ghost model, and investigated the motility by high precision colocalization microscopy. Under conditions designed to reduce the number of motor interactions on a randomly oriented substrate, ghosts took unitary 70-nm steps in the direction of gliding. Although it remains possible that the stepping behavior is produced by multiple interactions, our data suggest that these steps are produced by a unitary gliding machine that need not move between sites arranged on a cytoskeletal lattice.

Unidirectional rotation of the γ-shaft is driven by precisely coordinated sequential ATP hydrolysis reactions in three catalytic sites arranged 120° apart in the cylinder. Single-molecule observation allows us to directly watch the rotation of the shaft using micron-sized plastic beads. Additionally, an advanced version of "total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRFM)" enables us to detect binding and release of energy currency through fluorescently labeled ATP. In this chapter, we describe how to set up the system for simultaneous observation of these two critical events. This specialized optical setup is applicable to a variety of research, not only molecular motors but also other single-molecule topics.

Research paper thumbnail of A torque component present in mitotic kinesin Eg5 revealed by three-dimensional tracking

The extent to which Eg5 moves processively is not clear. Here we use three-dimensional tracking of a quantum dot attached to the microtubule in a motility assay to directly visualize the corkscrew motion of a sliding microtubule. We show that the rotational pitch of microtubule sliding conveniently reports on the processivity of the driving motors, confirming that two-headed Eg5 is much less processive than two-headed kinesin-1.

When isolated, the F1 sector, composed of five polypeptide chains with a stoichiometry of alpha(3)beta(3)gammadeltaepsilon, solely hydrolyzes ATP into ADP and phosphate, and is thus called F(1)-ATPase. Rotation of a shaft domain in F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase has been hypothesized by Paul Boyer, and ultimately was confirmed by direct observation as rotation of the gamma-subunit in an isolated alpha(3)beta(3)gamma subcomplex. Unitary turnover of ATP induces 120 degrees steps, consistent with the configuration of three catalytic sites arranged 120 degrees apart around gamma. We have shown the relationships between chemical and mechanical events by imaging individual F(1) molecules under an optical microscope. A new scheme emerges: as soon as a catalytic site binds ATP, the gamma-subunit always turns the same face (interaction surface) to the beta hosting that site; approximately 80 degrees rota...
