Adenosine Triphosphate Cleavage during the G-actin to F-actin Transformation and the Binding of Adenosine Diphosphate to F-actin.
Since the discovery by Straub and Feuer (1) and by Laki, Bowen, and Clark (2) that adenosine triphosphate bound to Gactin is transformed to adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate during polymerization of actin, it has become increasingly clear that the chemical changes in the nucleotide are related to the change in the physical state of the protein. Barany, 13iro, Molnar, and Straub have...
متن کاملThe utrophin actin-binding domain binds F-actin in two different modes
Utrophin, like its homologue dystrophin, forms a link between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. We have used a new method of image analysis to reconstruct actin filaments decorated with the actin-binding domain of utrophin, which contains two calponin homology domains. We find two different modes of binding, with either one or two calponin-homology (CH) domains bound per acti...
متن کاملUtrophin ABD binds to F-actin in an open conformation
Structural analyses of actin binding regions comprising tandem calponin homology domains alone and when bound to F-actin have revealed a number of different conformations with calponin homology domains in 'open' and 'closed' positions. In an attempt to resolve these issues we have examined the properties of the utrophin actin binding domain in open and closed conformations in order to verify th...
متن کاملF-actin affinity chromatography: technique for isolating previously unidentified actin-binding proteins.
We have developed stable and easy to use filamentous actin (F-actin) affinity-chromatography columns that selectively purify proteins that bind to actin filaments from cell extracts. Most traditional assays for actin-associated proteins screen for their effects on actin polymerization or actin filament crosslinking. Because our technique requires only actin-filament binding, it can identify add...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis Tarp harbors distinct G and F actin binding domains that bundle actin filaments.
All species of Chlamydia undergo a unique developmental cycle that transitions between extracellular and intracellular environments and requires the capacity to invade new cells for dissemination. A chlamydial protein called Tarp has been shown to nucleate actin in vitro and is implicated in bacterial entry into human cells. Colocalization studies of ectopically expressed enhanced green fluores...
