a

Solution kinetic data are for m5aS1 and motility data are for m5aHMM. Nomenclature of kinetic constants refers to Fig. 1B . All parameters were measured at 25°C. Mean ± SD values for two to four independent experiments are shown.

b

At 1 mM ATP.

c

Half-saturating actin concentration (at 1 mM ATP).

d

Half-saturating ATP concentration (at 10 µM actin).

e

At 1 mM ATP.

f

Results of exponential analysis are shown ( Fig. 2 ; rapid phase data for I67K-m5aS1). See also Fig. S1 for global fitting results on I67K-m5aS1.

g

Lower bounds set by maximal rate constant of rapid pre-steady state burst at 30 µM ATP.

h

From steady-state slopes recorded at 100 µM ATP.

i

Lower bounds set by maximal rate constant of rapid pre-steady state burst at 10 µM actin.

j

Maximal amplitude of rapid pre-steady state burst at 10 µM actin.

k

Rate constants of the rapid (40±3% amplitude) and slow phases of biphasic mdADP release.

l

From ref. [17].
