A new regulatory protein that affects the state of actin polymerization. 1981

E Nishida, and T Kuwaki, and S Maekawa, and H Sakai

A new protein factor that regulates the state of actin polymerization was purified from porcine brain by DNase I-agarose chromatography. The purified protein factor consisted of a 1 : 1 complex of 88,000 dalton polypeptide and actin. When actin was polymerized by salt in the presence of the factor, the steady-state viscosity and the sedimentability were greatly reduced. The extent of the reductions was found to be greater in the presence of Ca2+ than in its absence.

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.
