Regulation of the pollen-specific actin-depolymerizing factor LlADF1.
Pollen tube growth is dependent on a dynamic actin cytoskeleton, suggesting that actin-regulating proteins are involved. We have examined the regulation of the lily pollen-specific actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) LlADF1. Its actin binding and depolymerizing activity is pH sensitive, inhibited by certain phosphoinositides, but not controlled by phosphorylation. Compared with its F-actin bindin...
متن کاملThe regulation of actin organization by actin-depolymerizing factor in elongating pollen tubes.
Pollen tube elongation is a polarized cell growth process that transports the male gametes from the stigma to the ovary for fertilization inside the ovules. Actomyosin-driven intracellular trafficking and active actin remodeling in the apical and subapical regions of pollen tubes are both important aspects of this rapid tip growth process. Actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) and cofilin are actin...
متن کاملA Zea mays pollen cDNA encoding a putative actin-depolymerizing factor.
Microfilaments perform essential functions in eukaryotic cells, being responsible, in conjunction with other cytoskeletal elements, for the structural integrity of the cell and also for many of the cellular movements, including muscle contraction, cytokinesis, cytoplasmic streaming, and phagocytosis. The structural versatility of microfilaments is mediated by actin-binding proteins (Hartwig and...
متن کاملActin-depolymerizing factor mediates Rac/Rop GTPase-regulated pollen tube growth.
Pollen tube elongation is a rapid tip growth process that is driven by a dynamic actin cytoskeleton. A ubiquitous family of actin binding proteins, actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs)/cofilins, bind to actin filaments, induce severing, enhance depolymerization from their slow-growing end, and are important for maintaining actin dynamics in vivo. ADFs/cofilins are regulated by multiple mechanism...
متن کاملRegulation of actin filament dynamics by actin depolymerizing factor/cofilin and actin-interacting protein 1: new blades for twisted filaments.
Actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin enhances turnover of actin filaments by severing and depolymerizing filaments. A number of proteins functionally interact with ADF/cofilin to modulate the dynamics of actin filaments. Actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) has emerged as a conserved WD-repeat protein that specifically enhances ADF/cofilin-induced actin dynamics. Interaction of AIP1 with act...
