Gelsolin has three actin-binding sites
Gelsolin, a Ca2+-modulated actin filament-capping and -severing protein, complexes with two actin monomers. Studies designed to localize binding sites on proteolytic fragments identify three distinct actin-binding peptides. 14NT, a 14-kD fragment that contains the NH2 terminal, will depolymerize F-actin. This peptide forms a 1:1 complex with G-actin which blocks the exchange of etheno-ATP from ...
متن کاملMolecular biology of actin binding proteins: evidence for a common structural domain in the F-actin binding sites of gelsolin and alpha-actinin.
We review the impact of molecular biology on actin binding proteins, in particular on sequence relationships and expression of clones to dissect properties in vitro. Significant homologies exist between proteins in each class, but we propose, in addition, that common structural features exist between the F-actin binding sites of severing and cross-linking proteins.
متن کاملActin and Actin Binding Protein interactions with Membranes
24 Membrane Cytoskeleton Interactions CS5 The cytoskeleton, especially the actin cytoskeleton interacts with cell membranes. The cell cortex forms a variety of structures such as cell to substrate adhesions, cell to cell adhesions, and large protein aggregations involved is signal transduction. The dual responsibilities of the cell cortex to both provide a physical and signalling communication ...
متن کاملGelsolin-actin interaction and actin polymerization in human neutrophils
The fraction of polymerized actin in human blood neutrophils increases after exposure to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fmlp), is maximal 10 s after peptide addition, and decreases after 300 s. Most of the gelsolin (85 +/- 11%) in resting ficoll-hypaque (FH)-purified neutrophils is in an EGTA resistant, 1:1 gelsolin-actin complex, and, within 5 s after 10(-7) M fmlp activation, the amou...
متن کاملKinetic analysis of F-actin depolymerization in the presence of platelet gelsolin and gelsolin-actin complexes
Platelet gelsolin (G), a 90,000-mol-wt protein, binds tightly to actin (A) and calcium at low ionic strength to form a 1:2:2 complex, GA2Ca2 (Bryan, J., and M. Kurth, 1984, J. Biol. Chem. 259:7480-7487). Chromatography of actin and gelsolin mixtures in EGTA-containing solutions isolates a stable binary complex, GA1Ca1 (Kurth, M., and J. Bryan, 1984, J. Biol. Chem. 259:7473-7479). The effects of...
