Abstract | Horse plasma gelsolin labelled with benzophenone-4-isothiocyanate can be photochemically cross-linked to rabbit cardiac tropomyosin. The cross-linking proceeds with greater efficiency in calcium-containing buffers. Further evidence for interaction between these proteins is provided by retention of fluorescently labelled gelsolin on tropomyosin-agarose affinity columns and by the ability of tropomyosin to cause an increase in the fluorescence intensity of gelsolin labelled with fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate. Both of these effects require the presence of calcium ions. |
