Circular dichroic spectra of native, EDTA-treated and heat-denatured G-actin from chicken gizzard smooth muscle are virtually the same as those of rabbit skeletal muscle actin. The rates of changes produced by EDTA or heat in the secondary structure are, however, higher in the case of gizzard actin. Similar differences were found in the rates of inactivation as measured by loss of polymerizability during incubation with EDTA or Dowex 50. The results are explicable in terms of local differences in the conformation at specific site(s) important for maintaining the native state of actin monomer. Involvement of the ATP binding site was shown by measuring the equilibrium constant for the binding of ATP to the two actins. Difference in the conformation of some additional site(s) is indicated by a higher rate constant of inactivation of nucleotide-free actin observed for gizzard actin. No significant difference was found in the equilibrium constant for the binding of Ca2+ at the single high-affinity site in gizzard and skeletal muscle actin. Comparison of inactivation kinetics of actin from chicken gizzard, rabbit skeletal, bovine aorta, and bovine cardiac muscle suggests that the amino acid replacements Val-17----Cys-17 and/or Thr-89----Ser-89 have a destabilizing effect on the native conformation of G-actin. The results indicate that deletion of the acidic residue at position 1 of the amino acid sequence has no effect on the conformation of the ATP binding site and the high-affinity site for divalent cation as well.
