Abstract excerpt
Actin ADP-ribosylated at arginine 177 is unable to hydrolyze ATP, and the R177 side chain is in a position similar to that of the catalytically essential lysine 71 in heat shock cognate protein Hsc70, another member of the actin-fold family of proteins. Therefore, actin residue R177 has been implicated in the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis. This paper compares wild-type beta-actin with a mutant in which R177 has...
