aValues for k cat and K app,actin were calculated by fitting the data to a hyperbolic equation

bThe apparent second order rate constant for F-actin binding (K app,actin) was obtained from the calculated ratio of both values

cThe apparent second order rate constant for F-actin binding (K app,actin) was obtained from the initial slope

dExperimental conditions: 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM DTT, 2 mM ATP in the presence of an ATP regeneration system

eValues in the presence of calmodulin
