The aim of this study was to isolate and to characterize actin from the carp liver cytosol and to examine its ability to polymerize and interact with bovine pancreatic DNase I. Carp liver actin was isolated by ion-exchange chromatography, followed by gel filtration and a polymerization/depolymerization cycle or by affinity chromatography using DNase I immobilized to agarose. The purified carp liver actin was a cytoplasmic beta-actin isoform as verified by immunoblotting using isotype specific antibodies. Its isoelectric point (pI) was slightly higher than the pI of rabbit skeletal muscle alpha-actin. Polymerization of purified carp liver actin by 2 mM MgCl(2) or CaCl(2) was only obtained after addition of phalloidin or in the presence of 1 M potassium phosphate. Carp liver actin interacted with DNase I leading to the formation of a stable complex with concomitant inhibition of the DNA degrading activity of DNase I and its ability to polymerize. The estimated binding constant (K(b)) of carp liver actin to DNase I was calculated to be 1.85x10(8) M(-1) which is about 5-fold lower than the affinity of rabbit skeletal muscle alpha-actin to DNase I.

D003850 Deoxyribonuclease I An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerized DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyzes endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
