title: The effect of the replacement of ADP with a photoaffinity ATP analogue, 2-azido-ADP, in F-actin on its function.
abstract: 2-Azido-ATP, a photoaffinity ATP analogue, was incorporated into actin and the influence of the incorporation on the actin function was studied. The replacement of ADP with 2-azido-ADP in F-actin both before and after photocross-linking decreased appreciably the actin-activated S1-ATPase activity. Photocross-linked 2-azido-ADP-F-actin could be depolymerized by dialysis against a solution containing 0.1 mM CaCl2, 0.1 mM ATP and 1 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0). However, once it depolymerized, it lost very quickly the ability to polymerize even in the presence of a sufficient amount of ATP and Ca2+.
