Actin in the Green Alga, Nitella

Bundles of microfilaments very similar in appearance to actin are present in cytoplasmic suspensions obtained from Nitella flexilis. The microfilaments bind rabbit heavy meromyosin in arrowhead arrays similar to those produced on muscle actin. The arrowheads are removed with ATP. The results provide...
