Abstract excerpt
The actin filament is quite dynamic in the cell. To determine the relationship between the structure and the dynamic properties of the actin filament, experiments using actin mutants are indispensable. We focused on Gln(137) to understand the relationships between two activities: the conformational changes relevant to the G- to F-actin transition and the activation of actin ATPase upon actin polymerization. To...
