Covalent cross-links can be inserted between the subunits of F-actin by using p-NN′-phenylenebismaleimide. Cross-linking reaches its maximum value when one molecule of reagent has reacted with each actin subunit. p-NN′-Phenylenebismaleimide reacts initially with a cysteine residue on one subunit, the slower cross-linking reaction involving a lysine residue on a neighbouring subunit. Hydrolysis of the actin-bound reagent limits the extent of cross-linking. Quantitative analysis of the amounts of cross-linked oligomers seen on polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate suggests that neither the binding of the reagent to actin nor the formation of cross-links introduces strain into the structure. The cross-links do not join together different F-actin filaments, and evidence is presented that suggests that the cross-links join subunits of the same long-pitched helix.

Esterase Activities

A steroid-sensitive aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) was purified from rabbit liver and is homogeneous by the criterion of electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels with or without sodium dodecyl sulphate. The enzyme is tetrameric, of subunit mo.wt. 48 300, and contains no tightly bound zinc. The fluorescence of the protein is decreased in the presence of progesterone, which is inhibitory to the reactions catalysed by the enzyme. When NADH is bound to the enzyme, the fluorescence of the coenzyme is augmented to an extent independent of the presence of steroids or acetaldehyde. The purified enzyme catalyses the oxidation of acetaldehyde and glucuronolactone, and the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate. Each of these reactions is inhibited by progesterone in such a manner as to suggest the formation of a catalytically active enzyme-hormone complex. Diethylstilboestrol inhibits the hydrolysis of esters by this enzyme, but stimulates the oxidation of aldehydes, except at low aldehyde concentrations; the ligand is then inhibitory. NADH inhibits the hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate by the enzyme in a partially competitive fashion.

The pressure dependencies of the rates of base hydrolysis of [Rh(NH3)5X]2+ were measured at 313.2 K and μ1M, where X = Cl-, Br-, I- and NO3-, in the range 1-1500 bar. The respective Δν‡exp values are 19.3 � 0.9, 20.2 � 0.5, 20.4 � 0.5 and 22.3 � 0.9cm3 mol-1. The partial molar volumes of these complexes, as well as those of other relevant pentaamminerhodium(III) complexes, were also determined. The volume data are discussed in terms of the conventional dissociative conjugate base mechanism. The Δν‡exp for the aquation of [Rh(NH3)5NO3]2+ was found to be -6.9 � 0.4cm3 mol-1 at 313.2K, [H+] 0.005M and μ0.1 M. An I mechanism is favoured for this process.
