Abstract
The removal of bound metal ions from G-actin uncovered two thiols, Cys-10 and Cys-257. The uncovering of these thiols requires a free calcium concentration lower than 10 nM. Therefore, participation of one or both thiols in Ca2+ binding is suggested. Actin labeled with N-(5-fluoresceinyl)maleimide in the absence of calcium moves as a doublet in NaDodSO4/PAGE. It is suggested that two conformers are induced by metal removal and labeling.Entities:
