Artificial dimers of native actin: preparation and properties in biological functions
With the aid of tartryl-bis-ε-aminocaprylazide artificial dimers were produced from F actin from rabbit striated muscle. These derivatives will not polymerize by themselves but are able to copolymerize fully with native G actin. By modification of a single side chain per dimer, this copolymerization was completely inhibited. The dimers are able to activate subfragment I ATPase of myosin and bind to DNase I with inactivation of the enzyme in the same manner as native G actin. Within the dimer, one ADP is immobilized and will exchange against ATP extremely slowly. The dimers do not bind to the mushroom toxin phalloidin
