title: [Activation of phosphorylase kinase from rabbit muscle by actin and calmodulin].
abstract: The activation of different forms of muscle phosphorylase kinase by actin has been studied. F-actin which is polymerized by 2 mM MgCl2 is a more effective activator of phosphorylase kinase than F-actin polymerized by 50 mM KCl. There is evidence suggesting that the activation of phosphorylase kinase b by actin is not due to the presence of trace amounts of calmodulin in actin preparations: (1) Troponin I and trifluoperazine inhibit the activation of phosphorylase kinase by calmodulin but do not inhibit the activation by actin. (2) The activation induced by saturating concentrations of calmodulin and actin is additive. (3) The activation of phosphorylase kinase by calmodulin and actin has different pH profiles. An addition of F-actin does not affect the apparent Km value for ATP but increases the sensitivity to phosphorylase b and the value of V. F-actin has no stimulating effect on the phosphorylated form (a) of phosphorylase kinase or on the form a previously activated by proteolysis.
