Interactions among serum vitamin D binding protein, monomeric actin, profilin, and profilactin.
Human serum vitamin D binding protein (hDBP), a 58-kDa inter-alpha-globulin, is known to bind, monomeric actin (G-actin) in equimolar quantities. Using monoclonal and polyclonal anti-hDBP antibodies, hDBP, and radioiodinated actin, we developed a reliable saturation assay for actin bound to hDBP. By utilizing this assay, kinetic analysis, and ultracentrifugal sedimentation in sucrose gradients,...
متن کاملVitamin D binding protein sequesters monomeric actin in the circulation of the rat.
Plasma vitamin D binding protein (DBP) may scavenge actin released during cell lysis. We examined the plasma disappearance and tissue appearance of 125I-DBP, 125I-G-actin, and the DBP-G-actin complex after their intravenous administration to rats. The plasma disappearance of DBP and DBP-actin were indistinguishable, with rapid initial (t1/2 = 2.6 h) and slower second (t1/2 = 7 h) slopes. After ...
متن کاملEffects of profilin and profilactin on actin structure and function in living cells
Previous studies have yielded conflicting results concerning the physiological role of profilin, a 12-15-kD actin- and phosphoinositide-binding protein, as a regulator of actin polymerization. We have addressed this question by directly microinjecting mammalian profilins, prepared either from an E. coli expression system or from bovine brain, into living normal rat kidney (NRK) cells. The micro...
متن کاملProfilin is predominantly associated with monomeric actin in Acanthamoeba.
We used biochemical fractionation, immunoassays and microscopy of live and fixed Acanthamoeba to determine how much profilin is bound to its known ligands: actin, membrane PIP(2), Arp2/3 complex and polyproline sequences. Virtually all profilin is soluble after gentle homogenization of cells. During gel filtration of extracts on Sephadex G75, approximately 60% of profilin chromatographs with mo...
متن کاملThe kinetics of cytochalasin D binding to monomeric actin.
It has been shown previously, using G-actin labeled with N-iodoacetyl-N'-(5-sulfo-1-naphthyl)ethylene-diamine, that Mg2+ induces a conformational change in monomeric G-actin as a consequence of binding to a tight divalent cation binding site (Frieden, C. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 2882-2886). Using the same fluorescent probe, we show that, subsequent to the Mg2+-induced conformational change, c...
