The interaction between ATP-actin and ADP-actin. A tentative model for actin polymerization.
The involvement of interactions between ATP-actin and ADP-actin in actin polymerization has been studied. It has been found that ATP-actin and ADP-actin can copolymerize and that the rate of nucleation is enhanced when both ATP-actin and ADP-actin are present in solution. The fact that the heterologous interaction between ATP-actin (T) and ADP-actin (D) is stronger than either of the homologous...
متن کاملPolymerization of ADP-actin and ATP-actin under sonication and characteristics of the ATP-actin equilibrium polymer.
Polymerization under sonication has been developed as a new method to study the rapid polymerization of actin with a large number of elongating sites. The theory proposed assumes that filaments under sonication are maintained at a constant length by the constant input of energy. The data obtained for the reversible polymerization of ADP-actin under sonication have been successfully analyzed acc...
متن کاملPolymerization of ADP-actin
Using hexokinase, glucose, and ATP to vary reversibly the concentrations of ADP and ATP in solution and bound to Acanthamoeba actin, I measured the relative critical concentrations and elongation rate constants for ATP-actin and ADP-actin in 50 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM nucleotide, 0.1 mM CaCl2, 10 mM imidazole, pH 7. By both steady-state and elongation rate methods, the critical co...
متن کاملATP and ADP actin states.
This minireview is dedicated to the memory of Henryk Eisenberg and honors his major contributions to many areas of biophysics and to the analysis of macromolecular states and interactions in particular. This work reviews the ATP and ADP states of a ubiquitous protein, actins, and considers the present evidence for and against unique, nucleotide-dependent conformations of this protein. The effec...
متن کاملGelsolin-actin interaction and actin polymerization in human neutrophils
The fraction of polymerized actin in human blood neutrophils increases after exposure to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp), is maximal 10 s after peptide addition, and decreases after 300 s. Most of the gelsolin (85 +/- 11%) in resting ficoll-hypaque (FH)-purified neutrophils is in an EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complex, and, within 5 s after 10(-7) M fmlp activation, the amou...
