Interaction of diphtheria toxin (fragment A) with actin
AbstractIt was shown by gel filtration and viscosity measurements that N‐terminal fragment (FA) of diphtheria toxin (DT) can interact with both G‐ and F‐actin (filamentous actin). Elution profiles on Sephadex G‐100 indicated the formation of a binary complex of fragment A (FA) with globular actin monomer (G‐actin), which was inhibited by gelsolin ...
