Adenosine Triphosphate Cleavage during the G-actin to F-actin Transformation and the Binding of Adenosine Diphosphate to F-actin.
Since the discovery by Straub and Feuer (1) and by Laki, Bowen, and Clark (2) that adenosine triphosphate bound to Gactin is transformed to adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate during polymerization of actin, it has become increasingly clear that the chemical changes in the nucleotide are related to the change in the physical state of the protein. Barany, 13iro, Molnar, and Straub have...
متن کاملF- and G-Actin Concentrations in Lamellipodia of Moving Cells
Cells protrude by polymerizing monomeric (G) into polymeric (F) actin at the tip of the lamellipodium. Actin filaments are depolymerized towards the rear of the lamellipodium in a treadmilling process, thereby supplementing a G-actin pool for a new round of polymerization. In this scenario the concentrations of F- and G-actin are principal parameters, but have hitherto not been directly determi...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis Tarp harbors distinct G and F actin binding domains that bundle actin filaments.
All species of Chlamydia undergo a unique developmental cycle that transitions between extracellular and intracellular environments and requires the capacity to invade new cells for dissemination. A chlamydial protein called Tarp has been shown to nucleate actin in vitro and is implicated in bacterial entry into human cells. Colocalization studies of ectopically expressed enhanced green fluores...
متن کاملInside view of cell locomotion through single-molecule: fast F-/G-actin cycle and G-actin regulation of polymer restoration
The actin cytoskeleton drives cell locomotion and tissue remodeling. The invention of live-cell fluorescence single-molecule imaging opened a window for direct viewing of the actin remodeling processes in the cell. Since then, a number of unanticipated molecular functions have been revealed. One is the mechanism of F-actin network breakdown. In lamellipodia, one third of newly polymerized F-act...
متن کاملF-actin and G-actin binding are uncoupled by mutation of conserved tyrosine residues in maize actin depolymerizing factor (ZmADF) (cytoskeletonydestrin or human actin depolymerizing factorycofilinytertiary structure)
Actin depolymerizing factors (ADF) are stimulus responsive actin cytoskeleton modulating proteins. They bind both monomeric actin (G-actin) and filamentous actin (F-actin) and, under certain conditions, F-actin binding is followed by filament severing. In this paper, using mutant maize ADF3 proteins, we demonstrate that the maize ADF3 binding of F-actin can be spatially distinguished from that ...
