The initial stages of thermally-induced aggregation of cod myofibrils resulted from noncovalent inter molecular cross-linking as demonstrated by SDS electrophoresis. The nature of the noncovalent bonds was studied by introducing a zero length cross-linker, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino propyl) carbodiimide (EDC). This allowed the examination of the noncovalent interactions by SDS electrophoresis and quantitative densitometry. Initially, during heating, about 50% of the myosin heavy chain was cross-linked to form a polymerized complex before the involvement of actin, regulatory proteins, or the myosin light chains. Inhibition of thermally-induced noncovalent crosslinking with triglycerides or Triton X-100 as well as the enhancement of aggregation at higher ionic strength, suggested the importance of hydrophobic interaction in this reaction.<br> Cod myosin heavy chains were prepared and the head regions labelled with the fluorescent probe, N-[7(dimethylamino)-4-methyl-3-coumarinyl] maleimide (DACM) which reacts specifically with two thiol groups near the active sites for Ca2+ and EDTA-ATPase. Chymotryptic cleavage of the thermally aggregated myosin heavy chains suggested the involvement of the tail region of the molecule rather than the head in the noncovalent cross-linking reactions.
