Actin bound to the adenovirus proteinase (AVP) with a lower equilibrium dissociation constant, 4.2 nM, than those exhibited by two viral, nuclear cofactors for AVP, the 11-amino acid peptide pVIc and the viral DNA. The k(cat)/K(m) ratio for substrate hydrolysis by AVP increased 150,000-fold in the presence of actin. The 11-amino acid residue peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of actin, whi...
