摘要: A partially purified preparation of human erythrocyte protein 4.9, consisting 48-, 52-, and 55-kilodalton polypeptides, is capable bundling rabbit muscle actin in vitro (Siegel, D. L., Branton, (1985) J. Cell Biol. 100, 775–785). Purification schemes, peptide mapping, antibody cross-reactivity, chemical cross-linking techniques show that the 48- 52-kDa polypeptides are sequence-related phosphorylated components, whereas 55-kDa polypeptide not. Purified 4.9 (dematin), effectively bundles vitro; under similar conditions, isolated does not bundle actin. In fact, when added back to dematin, fractions containing can completely abolish dematin's actin-bundling activity. The basis for this inhibitory activity an endogenous kinase phosporylates both isoforms thus abolishing (Husain-Chishti, A., Levin, (1988) Nature 334, 718–721). Although often co-purifies with polypeptide, it be separated from has characteristics a catalytic subunit cyclic AMP-dependent kinase.
