Abstract:
:Actin binding protein from human blood platelets is shown to exist in the resting platelet as a phosphorylated protein and contains two residues of phosphate per 260,000 kd. Removal of one-half of these residues with E. coli alkaline phosphatase results in the loss of its ability to crosslink F-actin into a low speed sedimentable complex (its cytoskeleton) and to bind to an F-actin affinity column. Thus, phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of ABP may be an important regulatory mechanism by which the platelet regulates its shape via its cytoskeletal structure.
