When stoichiometric amounts of tropomyosin (TM) are bound to F-actin in the presence of 2 mM ATP, the MG2+-activated acto-heavy meromyosin (HMM) ATPase is inhibited by about 60% in 5 mM MgCl2-30 mM KCl. If the concentration of MgCl2 is reduced to 1 mM, the inhibition disappears because TM no longer binds to F-actin. Increasing the concentration of KCl to 100 mM restores both the binding and the inhibition. Thus, the binding of TM alone to F-actin causes significant inhibition of the ATPase provided that the HMM is saturated with ATP. (When the HMM is not saturated, TM activates the ATPase). When TM alone can bind stoichiometrically to F-actin, addition of troponin I (TN-I) increases the inhibition from 60% to about 85%, but the TM binding to F-actin is not affected. Under conditions such that TM alone neither inhibits the acto-HMM ATPase nor binds to F-actin, the inhibition caused by TN-I plus TM still approaches 100%. Direct binding studies under these conditions show that TN-I induces binding between TM and F-actin. A dual role for TN-I is proposed: first, TN-I can induce TM to bind to F-actin, causing inhibition of the ATPase; and second, TN-I can itself enhance the inhibition of the ATPase in a cooperative manner. The addition of TN-C in the absence of CA2+ has only a limited effect on the first role, but seems to be able to block completely the cooperative inhibition caused by TN-I such that the residual inhibition is a function only of the TM which remains bound.
