Figure 6. Binding of WT- and A13T-reconstituted porcine myosin to pyrene-labelled F-actin under rigor conditions.
Association of myosin with actin resulted in quenching of pyrene fluorescence. The binding isotherms were fitted to a non-linear binding model as explained in the Materials and methods section. Inset: SDS/PAGE of RLC-depleted myosin (lane 2), used for reconstitution (reconst.) with the recombinant WT and A13T-RLC proteins (lanes 3 and 4). Lane 1 depicts native porcine myosin.
