Previous experiments demonstrated that two thiols of skeletal myosin subfragment 1 (SF1) could be oxidized to a disulfide bond by treatment with a 2-fold excess of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) in the presence of MgADP [Wells, J. A., & Yount, R. G. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 1711-1717]. The resulting characteristic changes in the ATPase activities of SF1 and the fact that MgADP was stably trapped at the active site [Wells, J. A., & Yount, R. G. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 76, 4966-4970] suggested that the two thiols cross-linked were SH1 (Cys-707) and SH2 (Cys-697) from the myosin heavy chain. To verify this suggestion, SF1, after DTNB treatment as above, was treated with an excess of N-ethylmaleimide to block all accessible thiols. The single protein disulfide produced by DTNB oxidation was reduced with dithioerythritol and the modified SF1 internally cross-linked with equimolar [14C]p-phenylenedimaleimide (pPDM) in the presence of MgADP. After extensive trypsinization, the major 14C-labeled peptide was isolated, characterized, and shown to be Cys-Asn-Gly-Val-Leu-Gly-Ile-Arg-Ile-Cys-Arg, in which the two cysteines were cross-linked by pPDM. This peptide is known to contain SH2 and SH1 in this order and to come from residues 697-708 in the rabbit skeletal myosin heavy chain [Elzinga, M., & Collins, J. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 4281-4284; M. Elzinga, personal communication].(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
