Antibody was prepared against the 25,000-dalton tryptic fragment of subfragment-1 from skeletal muscle myosin. The antibody was found to inhibit the Mg2+-ATPase activity and the initial P1-burst of the ATPase. The antibody suppressed the ATP induced fluorescence enhancement of S-1, though it did not suppress the binding of ATP to S-1. The acto-S-1 ATPase activity was also inhibited by the antibody. These results suggest that there is a site in the 25K fragment region responsible for the transition of the myosin-ATP complex to another high energy complex.
