Abstract excerpt
Residues 262-274 form a loop between subdomains 3 and 4 of actin. This loop may play an important role in actin filament formation and stabilization. To assess directly the behavior of this loop, we mutated Ser265 of yeast actin to cysteine (S265C) and created another mutant (S265C/C374A) by changing Cys374 of S265C actin to alanine. These changes allowed us to attach a pyrene maleimide stoichiometrically to...
