Synergistic inhibition of oxidation in dispersed phosphatidylcholine liposomes by a combination of vitamin E and cysteine.
Oxidations of soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomes in an aqueous dispersion initiated by free radicals generated initially either in the aqueous phase or in the lipid phase were efficiently… Expand

Removing the two C-terminal residues of actin affects the filament structure.
We define conditions under which the two C-terminal residues of actin, Cys-374 and Phe-375, can be selectively removed by proteolysis with trypsin. This modification had little effect on the… Expand

Membrane potential-linked reversed electron transfer in the beef heart cytochrome bc1 complex reconstituted into potassium-loaded phospholipid vesicles.
The cytochrome bc1 complex purified from beef heart mitochondria was incorporated into potassium (K+)-loaded phospholipid vesicles by a cholate dialysis method to study the reverse reaction of… Expand

The mechanism of inhibition of the actin-activated myosin MgATPase by calponin.
Calponin inhibits the actin-activated ATPase of smooth muscle myosin and thus has been proposed as a thin filament-based regulatory component in smooth muscle. To obtain information on the mechanism… Expand

Localization of the phalloidin and nucleotide-binding sites on actin.
Phalloidin was found to block nucleotide exchange in F-actin, without interfering with nucleotide hydrolysis. This inhibition of nucleotide exchange occurs under conditions in which monomers are able… Expand

Modification of Lys-61 in actin with fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC) blocks actin polymerization [Burtnick, L. D. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 791, 57-62]. FITC-labelled actin recovered its… Expand

Interaction of phalloidin with chemically modified actin.
Modification of Tyr-69 with tetranitromethane impairs the polymerizability of actin in accordance with the previous report [Lehrer, S. S. and Elzinga, M. (1972) Fed. Proc. 31, 502]. Phalloidin… Expand

Domain motion in actin observed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
Actin is composed of two well-separated globular domains which are further subdivided into two subdomains [Kabsch, W., Mannherz, H. G., Suck, D., Pai, E. F., & Holmes, K. C. (1990) Nature 347,… Expand

Fluorescence energy transfer between epsilon-ATP at the nucleotide binding site and N-(4-dimethylamino-3,5-dinitrophenyl)-maleimide at Cys-373 of G-actin.
The method of fluorescence energy transfer is used to measure the distance from the nucleotide binding site to Cys-373 of G-actin. The fluorescent ATP analogue 1-N6-ethenoadenosine 5'-triphosphate… Expand

Fluorescence anisotropy of labeled F-actin: influence of divalent cations on the interaction between F-actin and myosin heads.
The interaction between F-actin and soluble proteolytic fragments of myosin, heavy meromyosin and myosin subfragment 1 without ATP, has been studied by measuring the static anisotropy and the… Expand
