Fig. 4. Interaction of -catenin ( -cat) with F-actin. A, schematic representation of -catenin and the constructs used in the binding assay. Vinculin homology regions are shown in dark gray. B, binding to F-actin was examined by cosedimentation. Assuming a binding ratio of protein:monomeric actin of 1:7, all -catenin constructs were added in excess. The supernatant (S) containing the unbound protein and the pellet (P) containing F-actin and bound protein are shown for each sample. Molecular mass markers are indicated on the left.
