Abstrakt: The sub-cortical actin bundles of the alga Chara corallina can be selectively extracted with a low salt solution except when cytochalasin B is present. Proteins with molecular weights of 160000, 43000 and 37000 share this extraction behaviour. While chemical cleavage of the 43000 band indicates that it is actin, the nature of the other proteins is unknown. Although the 37000 protein resembles tropomyosin in molecular weight it lacks tropomyosin's distinctively large change in electrophoretic mobility in the presence of urea.
