1 Chicken gizzard actomyosin shows a progressive loss of Ca sensitivity accompanied by activation of EGTA-Mg-ATPase at temperatures near 37 degrees C with decreasing ATP concentrations. Egtazic Acid dynein axonemal heavy chain 8 Homo sapiens
2 Activation of EGTA-Mg-ATPase at low ATP concentration is not due to a pseudo-ATPase, or due to denautration of the actomyosin at 37 degrees C. Magnesium concentrations above 1 mM are required for observing the enhanced EGTA-Mg-ATPase activity and the Ca sensitivity is very markedly influenced by the magnesium concentrations of medium at low ATP. Egtazic Acid dynein axonemal heavy chain 8 Homo sapiens
3 Activation of EGTA-Mg-ATPase at low ATP concentration is not due to a pseudo-ATPase, or due to denautration of the actomyosin at 37 degrees C.

Egtazic Acid dynein axonemal heavy chain 8 Homo sapiens
4 Thus the EGTA-insensitive rise in tension during metabolic depletion is due to activation of Mg-ATPase and loss of Ca sensitivity at 37 degrees C, a temperature at which mammalian smooth muscles normally function. Egtazic Acid dynein axonemal heavy chain 8 Homo sapiens
