To discriminate between the influences of a motoneuron and muscle activity on the conformation of actin filaments, the extrinsic polarized fluorescence [of rhodamine-phalloidin and N-(iodoacetylamine)-1-naphthylamine-5-sulfonic acid attached to F-actin] was measured in "ghost" fibers from intact rat

## Abstract The presence of cytochalasin A inhibits the self‐assembly of beef brain tubulin and rabbit muscle G‐actin in vitro and also decreases the colchicine binding of tubulin. Prior reaction of cytochalasin A with 2‐mercaptoethanol destroys its inhibitory effects. It is shown that cytochalasin
We report on how physiological concentrations of capping protein shorten actin filaments and on the remarkably fluid nature of solutions of such short filaments even at the high concentrations that exist in cells. We measured the lengths of actin filaments formed by spontaneous polymerization of hig
## Abstract A dual effect of external Ca^2+^ on creatine kinase (CPK) accumulation during myogenesis has recently been demonstrated (Morris and Cole, '79). Ca^2+^ inhibits muscle‐specific CPK accumulation at intermediate (50–100 μ) concentrations compared with both lower (no added Ca^2+^) and highe
