The bifunctional reagent N,N'-p-phenylenedimaleimide (PDM) is being used in an attempt to measure distances between specific side chains in adjacent monomers within F-actin. [14C]PDM was synthesized and was used to crosslink F-actin. Uncrosslinked actin was removed by gel filtration, and, from an arginine-specific tryptic digest of the covalently crosslinked dimers and higher oligomers, one radioactive crosslinked peptide was obtained in high yield. Amino acid composition and sequence analysis indicated that it comprises residues 184-196 of one monomer and 373-375 of an adjacent actin molecule, bridged by PDM through Cys-374 and Lys-191. Thus, these groups are shown to be 1.2-1.4 nm apart in adjacent actin monomers in F-actin. This information may be crucial in establishing the orientation of actin monomers within F-actin.
