The hydration of actin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hydration of actin was studied by differential scanning calorimetry between -30 degrees C and 30 degrees C and by thermogravimetric analysis. The differential scanning calorimetry provided the freezable water content of G- and F-actin as a function of concentration, and the thermogravimetric analysis measured the total water content. The difference between the two yielded the nonfreezable water content (bound water) as a function of concentration. The nonfreezable water content of G-actin was higher than the F-actin over the whole concentration range from 1-40% actin.

Difference in the hydration water mobility around F-actin and myosin subfragment-1 studied by quasielastic neutron scattering
Hydration water is essential for a protein to perform its biological function properly. In this study, the dynamics of hydration water around F-actin and myosin subfragment-1 (S1), which are the partner proteins playing a major role in various cellular functions related to cell motility including muscle contraction, was characterized by incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). The QEN...
متن کاملDifference in hydration structures between F-actin and myosin subfragment-1 detected by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering
Hydration structures around F-actin and myosin subfragment-1 (S1), which play central roles as counterparts in muscle contraction, were investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The radius of gyration of chymotryptic S1 was evaluated to be 41.3±1.1 Å for SAXS, 40.1±3.0 Å for SANS in H2O, and 37.8±0.8 Å for SANS in D2O, respectively. The value...
متن کاملActin dynamics in papilla cells of Brassica rapa during self- and cross-pollination.
The self-incompatibility system of the plant species Brassica is controlled by the S-locus, which contains S-RECEPTOR KINASE (SRK) and S-LOCUS PROTEIN11 (SP11). SP11 binding to SRK induces SRK autophosphorylation and initiates a signaling cascade leading to the rejection of self pollen. However, the mechanism controlling hydration and germination arrest during self-pollination is unclear. In th...
متن کاملHYDRATION BEHAVIOUR AND ANTIOXIDISING EFFECT OF ALUMINIUM POWDER ADDED TO OXIDE- AND CARBON-BASED CASTABLES
Hydration behavior and antioxidising effect of aluminium (AI) powder has been investigated. Bayerite Al (OH) 3 product layers formed on Al in pure water at 25-45°C were porous, so the hydration rate, although very slow at 25°C, increased rapidly with increasing temperature from 25 to 45°C. On further increasing temperature from 45 to 95°C, initial hydration rate increased, but changed little ov...

In this study, the effect of variety of Nano- additives doping on the hydration resistance of the MgO-CaO system was investigated. Samples were prepared from calcined dolomite and magnesite. Nano-additives that contained cations with various valences (trivalent and tetravalent) used as a dopant. The bulk density, apparent porosity and hydration resitance were studied and evaluated. Also, phase...
