The release of Pi from the Pi-G-actin-ADP complex is the rate-limiting step in the ATPase activity that is shown by ATP-G-actin in the presence of protamine.

Abstract Under conditions where cytochalasin B induces ATPase activity of monomeric actin (0.3 mᴍ MgCl2, 1 mᴍ EGTA , 30 (μᴍ cytochalasin B, 1 mᴍ ATP) the rate constant of the ex­change of actin-bound ε-ATP for free ATP is about 4 -6 times faster than steady state ATPase activity. When a stoichiometric ATP -actin complex is extracted with PCA (single turnover ex­periment) the apparent rate constant of Pi generation is not faster than steady state ATPase activity. -The experiments suggest that the hydrolysis of actin-bound ATP and not the subse­quent release of hydrolysis products is rate-limiting during cytochalasin-induced ATPase activi­ty of actin.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.
