It was established that the dialdehyde derivative of ATP (oxo-ATP) is a good substrate of the Ca-ATPase of heavy meromyosin: (1.2-1.4) x 10/sup -4/ M; V = V/sub ATP/. At the same time, it is capable of inducing irreversible inhibition of the enzyme. Since oxo-ATP is rapidly digested by myosin, forming oxo-ADP, this inhibition is a consequence of the interaction of the enzyme with oxo-ADP. It was shown that the inhibition of heavy meromyosin (HMM), by oxo-ADP occurs according to the kinetics characteristic of affinity modification; moreover, ATP entirely protects HMM from the loss of activity. Similar data on the irreversible inhibition of ATPase activity under the action of oxo-ADP were obtained in the case of myosin, heavy meromyosin, subfragment-1, and natural actomyosin, as well as in the absence of divalent cations, which is evidence of modification of the active site of myosin ATPase.
