Impact of pN-Bleb on in vitro motility. The sliding velocity in the in vitro motility assay was examined with M2β-S1 in the (A) absence (1% DMSO) and (B) presence of 50 μM pN-Bleb. The average sliding velocity was determined by examining 60 filaments from two different protein preps. The velocities were binned and fit to a Gaussian function to determine the mean ± SEM velocity in the presence and absence of pN-Bleb (195 ± 4.65 and 1334 ± 16.79 nm/s, respectively). (C) The average sliding velocities were plotted as a function of pN-Bleb concentration, which allowed determination of the IC50 for M2β-S1 (13.3 ± 0.1 μM) and Sk HMM (1.6 ± 0.2 μM).
