Actin isoforms in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus.
Actin proteins in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus were partially purified by a new method based on precipitation with podophyllotoxin and dimethylsulfoxide. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of partially purified actin proteins revealed differences in isoform composition between adults and third-stage larvae. The significance of this finding is possibly related to the existence of differential functional or developmental characteristics between these two life-cycle stages.
