Abstract excerpt
Holmes et al. (Holmes, K. C., D. Popp, W. Gebhard, and W. Kabsch. 1990. Nature [Lond.] 347: 44-49) hypothesized that between subdomains 3 and 4 of actin is a loop of 10 amino acids including a four residue hydrophobic plug that inserts into a hydrophobic pocket formed by two adjacent monomers on the opposing strand thereby stabilizing the F-actin helix. To test this hypothesis we created a mutant yeast actin...
