title: The effect on actin ATPase of phalloidin and tetramethylrhodamine phalloidin.
abstract: Actin polymerization has been studied in the absence of excess nucleotide. Using G-actin ATP monomers, it was shown that mechanical shearing stimulates ATP hydrolysis. The procedures used enabled the detection of differential effects of phalloidin and tetramethylrhodamine-phalloidin, on the P(i)-release step of the actin ATPase. It is concluded that tetramethylrhodamine, in contrast to phalloidin, accelerates P(i)-release from actin filaments.
