Abstract
The stoichiometric actin – DNase‐I complex was used to study the actin – nucleotide and actin – divalentcation interactions and its ATPase activity in the presence of MgCl2 and cytochalasin D. Treatment of actin – DNase‐I complex with 1 mM EDTA results in almost complete restoration of its otherwise inhibited DNase I activity, although the complex does not dissociate, as verified by size‐exclusion chromatography. This effect is due to a loss of actin‐bound nucleotide but is prevented by the presence of 0.1 – 0.5 mM ATP, ADP and certain ATP analogues. In this case no increase in DNase I activity occurs, even in the presence of EDTA. At high salt concentrations and in the presence of Mg2+ (‘physiological conditions’) the association rate constants for ATP, ADP and ɛATP (1,N6‐ethenoadenosine 5′‐triphosphate) and the dissociation rate constant for ɛATP were determined. Both the on and off rates were found to be reduced by a factor about 10 when compared to uncomplexed actin. Thus the binding constant of ɛATP to actin is almost unaltered after complexing to DNase I (2.16 × 108 M−1). Titrating the increase in DNase I activity of the actin – DNase I complex against nucleotide concentration in the presence of EDTA, the association constant of ATP to the cation‐free form of actin – DNase I complex was found to be 5 × 103 M−1, which is many orders of magnitude lower than in the presence of divalent metal ions. The binding constant of Ca2+ to the high‐affinity metal‐binding site of actin was found not to be altered when complexed to DNase I, although the rate of Ca2+ release decreases by a factor of 8 after actin binding to DNase I. The rate of denaturation of nucleotide‐free and metal‐ion‐free actin – DNase I complex was found to be reduced by a factor of about 15. The ATPase activity of the complex is stimulated by addition of Mg2+ and even more effectively by cytochalasin D, proving that this drug is able to interact with monomeric actin.
