Mouse sarcoma 180 cells have a polypeptide that has the same molecular weight as actin but it is more acidic than alpha-actin. Its tryptic peptide pattern on reversed-phase HPLC was very similar to that of beta + gamma-actin, an actin sample prepared by affinity chromatography on DNase I-Sepharose contained the acidic polypeptide, and monoclonal anti-actin antibody reacted with it; therefore, the polypeptide is considered an actin isoform. The mRNA for this variant actin was identified by analyzing the polypeptides translated in vitro, which indicated that the variant actin is not a post-translationally modified form of any known actin. The variant actin was not stained by polyclonal anti-gizzard actin antibody which reacts with gamma-cytoplasmic, alpha-smooth and gamma-smooth muscle actins, nor by polyclonal anti-skeletal muscle actin antibody which reacts with skeletal, cardiac and alpha-smooth muscle actins. These results suggest that this variant actin is related to beta-cytoplasmic actin or, is a novel species whose N-terminal amino acid sequence is not Glu-Glu-Glu.

D004591 Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis in which a polyacrylamide gel is used as the diffusion medium. Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGE,Gel Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide,SDS PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate PAGE,Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PAGEs
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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm. Messenger RNA,Messenger RNA, Polyadenylated,Poly(A) Tail,Poly(A)+ RNA,Poly(A)+ mRNA,RNA, Messenger, Polyadenylated,RNA, Polyadenylated,mRNA,mRNA, Non-Polyadenylated,mRNA, Polyadenylated,Non-Polyadenylated mRNA,Poly(A) RNA,Polyadenylated mRNA,Non Polyadenylated mRNA,Polyadenylated Messenger RNA,Polyadenylated RNA,RNA, Polyadenylated Messenger,mRNA, Non Polyadenylated
