Methods: By using DTSSP to crosslink actin and non-actin protein (s) ininsoluble fraction of ATP-depleted PT, the crosslinked protein complexes were analysed bytwo-dimensional electrophoresis and western blotting. Results: Analysis of the crosslinked actincomplexes revealed one complex that contained actin and non-actin protein. Villin was not detected.Conclusion: The results strongly suggested that some of the sequestered actin was directly bound tonon-actin protein (s) other than was co-precipitated with villin or the nuclei as hydrophobic actinhomopolymers.展开更多
