Abstract excerpt
Yeast actin mutants with alanines replacing charged amino acid pairs D24/D25, E99/E100, D80/D81, and E83/K84 were studied to assess their role in interactions with myosin. In a previous report Dictyostelium actin filaments with residues D24/D25 or E99/E100 replaced with histidines showed complete or partial loss of filament sliding in the in vitro motility assay [Johara, M., et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci....
