Fig. 3. Schematic representation for the possible effects of ADP-ribosylation of actins on the polymerization-depolymerization state.

In the steady state, G- and F-actins are in dynamic equilibrium (a). When the ADP-ribosylation occurs on G-actin, modified G-actins are no longer integrated into the filamentous form (b). When the ADP-ribosylation occurs on F-actin, its ordered conformation are disrupted and F-actins are gradually depolymerized to the monomeric form (c). Actin is illustrated as a monomeric or filamentous form. ADP-ribose moieties are depicted open circles. Abbreviations of P and D mean polymerization and depolymerization, respectively.
