title: The interaction of bovine pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I and skeletal muscle actin.
abstract: The rate of exchange of actin-bound nucleotide is decreased by a factor of about 20 when actin is complexed with DNAase I without affecting the binding constant of calcium for actin. Binding constants of DNAase I to monomeric and filamentous actin were determined to be 5 X 10(8) M-1 and 1.2 X 10(4) M-1 respectively. The depolymerisation of F-actin by DNAase I appears to be due to a shift in the G-F equilibrium of actin by DNAase I. Inhibition of the DNA-degrading activity of DNAase I by G-actin is of the partially competitive type.
