この研究は、無細胞調整物のCa 2+-カルモジュリン依存性ミオシン軽鎖(L鎖)のリン酸化に対する弱い磁界の影響を調べた。この無細胞酵素系はよく研究された生化学系であり、イオン結合に依存するようである。この無細胞系の磁界に対する感受性を調べるために、パルス無線周波(PRF)電磁界、脈動性磁界、勾配磁界磁気治療器MAGNA BLOCからの磁界)、および一様静磁界ヘルムホルツコイル)を用いた実験を行なった。これらの様々な磁界は、イオン-タンパク質相互作用を調節することによって、この無細胞酵素系に影響を与えるようである、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To study the possibility that ion-protein interactions can be affected by magnetic fields with various frequencies and magnetic flux densities. Specifically, Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent myosin phosphorylation, in a cell-free preparation is examined from the viewpoint of searching for mechanisms of action and studying the effectiveness of various magnetic field signals used clinically.

詳細情報

The Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain phosphorylation is a well-studied biochemical enzyme system, which appears to depend upon ion binding.
The reaction was initiated by adding 32P ATP to the medium.
One of the experiments (Field 1) was performed to replicate a previous study (Shuvalova, L.A., Ostrovskayam M.V., Sosunov, E.A., Lednev, V.V. (1991). Weak magnetic fields tuned to the parametric resonance condition change the rate of calcium-calmodulin dependent myosin phosphorylation. Reports of the Academy of Sciences. USSR 317:227-231).

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The cell-free myosin phosphorylation model system is sensitive to a wide range of magnetic fields that differ in magnetic flux density, repetition rate, and frequency. It appears that the key target is in the binding of the calcium ion to the existing binding sites in the calmodulin structure. Except for the ambient range DC signals, all other signals initiate "resonance"- or "window"-like responses. Therefore, myosin phosphorylation assay may be tool for examining the "window hypothesis".
