Previously we have shown that cross-bridge attachment to actin and the radial position of the myosin heads surrounding the thick filament backbone affect the equatorial x-ray diffraction intensities in different ways (Yu, 1989). In the present study, other factors frequently encountered experimentally are analyzed by a simple model of the filament lattice. It is shown that the ordering/disordering of filaments, lattice spacing changes, the azimuthal redistributions of cross-bridges, and variations in the ordered/disordered population of cross-bridges surrounding the thick filaments can distinctly affect the equatorial intensities. Consideration of Fourier transforms of individual components of the unit cell can provide qualitative explanations for the equatorial intensity changes. Criteria are suggested that can be used to distinguish the influence of some factors from others.
此前我们已经表明,横桥与肌动蛋白的附着以及围绕粗肌丝主干的肌球蛋白头部的径向位置,会以不同方式影响赤道X射线衍射强度(Yu,1989)。在本研究中,通过细丝晶格的简单模型分析了实验中经常遇到的其他因素。结果表明,细丝的有序/无序、晶格间距变化、横桥的方位角重新分布以及围绕粗丝的横桥有序/无序群体的变化,都能明显影响赤道强度。对晶胞各个组分的傅里叶变换进行考量,可以为赤道强度变化提供定性解释。提出了一些标准,可用于区分某些因素的影响。
