Impact of pN-Bleb on ATPase Activity and ADP-release. (A) The actin-activated ATPase in the presence of 40 μM actin was determined as a function of pN-Bleb concentration, which allowed determination of the IC50 for M2β-S1 (12.3 ± 1.8 μM) and Sk HMM (0.43 ± 0.11 μM). The data at each pN-Bleb concentration represents the average ± SD from two separate preparations. (B) The ADP-release rate constant was determined in the presence and absence of pN-Bleb by mixing a complex of acto-M2β-S1.mantADP with excess ATP and monitoring the mant fluorescence decrease. The fluorescence transients displayed represent the average of 4–5 transients and are fit to a single exponential function.
