Abstract excerpt
Two beta-actin mutants, one with proline 38 replaced with alanine (P38A) and the other with cysteine-374 replaced with serine (C374S), as well as the wild-type beta-actin, were expressed in the yeast, S. cerevisiae, purified to homogeneity, and analyzed in vitro for polymerizability and interaction with DNase I, myosin, and profilin. Both mutations interfered with the polymerization of the actin, and with its...
