Evidence for an interaction of the membrane (M) protein of Newcastle disease and Sendai viruses with rabbit muscle cellular actin was obtained by 3 different techniques. M protein linked to Sepharose 4B was found to bind actin, but not myoglobin or bovine serum albumin, and to selectively remove actin from a mixture of these 3 proteins. Sedimentation of a mixture of M protein and F-actin through a sucrose gradient resulted in sedimentation of M protein with actin. Control proteins, bovine serum albumin and cytochrome c, did not sediment with actin. In circular dichroism studies, M protein added to actin in a 1:1 complex resulted in a significant increase in negative ellipticity at 220 nm, which corresponds to an increase in .alpha.-helix and a decrease in .beta.-structure and random coil. This is indicative of an interaction between M protein and actin. The frequent identification of cellular actin in a number of enveloped viruses apparently may be attributed to the interaction of actin and M protein or its equivalent.
