A polymerization mechanism similar to that proposed at thispH [Frieden, C.(1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80, 6513-6517] was found to fit the data from 10 to 35 C. From the kinetic data, no evidence for actin filament fragmentation was found at any temperature. Dimer formation is the most temperature-sensitive step, with the ratio of forward and reverse rate constants changing 4 orders of magnitude from 10 to 35 C. Over this temperature change, all other ratios of forward and reverse rate constants change 7-fold or less, and the critical concentration remains nearly constant. The reversible Mg2+-induced isom-erization of G-actin monomer occurs to a greater extent with increasing temperature, measured either by using iV-(iodoacetyl)-7V-(5-sulfo-l-naphthyl) ethylenediamine-labeled actin or by simulation of the full-time course of the polymerization reaction. This is partially due to Mg2+ binding becoming tighter, and Ca2+ binding becoming weaker, with increasing temperature. Elongation rates from the filament-pointed end, determined by using actin nucleated by plasma gelsolin, show a temperature dependence slightly larger than that expected for a diffusion-limited reaction.. Axtin can undergo transformation from a monomeric form (G-actin) to a long helical polymer (F-actin) 1 by a polymerization process classically described as a nucleation-elongation reaction (Oosawa & Kasai, 1962). This polymerization pro-cess in vitro is strongly influenced by environmental variables such as pH, temperature, and ionic strength (Kasai et al., 1962; Kasai, 1969), and actin assembly or disassembly in vivo is probably influenced by similar factors as well as by actin binding proteins. Thus, detailed knowledge of the role such environmental factors play may be important for understanding the regulation and modulation of in vivo actin po-lymerization.
