Barbed end capping protein

Barbed-end-capping proteins (gelsolin and villin, 95 kD) attach to this specific end of the actin filament and inhibit the further addition of actin molecules. [Pg.23]

Figure 3. Critical concentration behavior of actin self-assembly. For the top diagram depicting the macroscopic critical concentration curve, one determines the total amount of polymerized actin by methods that measure the sum of addition and release processes occurring at both ends. Examples of such methods are sedimentation, light scattering, fluorescence assays with pyrene-labeled actin, and viscosity measurements. Forthe bottom curves, the polymerization behavior is typically determined by fluorescence assays conducted under conditions where one of the ends is blocked by the presence of molecules such as gelsolin (a barbed-end capping protein) or spectrin-band 4.1 -actin (a complex prepared from erythrocyte membranes, such that only barbed-end growth occurs). Note further that the barbed end (or (+)-end) has a lower critical concentration than the pointed end (or (-)-end). This differential stabilization requires the occurrence of ATP hydrolysis to supply the free energy that drives subunit addition to the (+)-end at the expense of the subunit loss from the (-)-end.

Barbed-End Capping Protein Blocks Net Assembly at Barbed Ends of Filaments... [Pg.20]

The best studied example of a barbed-end capping protein is gelsolin (Mr = 90,000). Like many actin-binding proteins, gelsolin s affinity for actin filaments is regulated by changes in the concentrations of Ca2+ which occur when cells are stimulated in particular ways. Approximately 10 6Af Ca2+ stimulates barbed-end capping and promotes the depolymerization of actin, since the observed critical concentration of the system now increases towards that of the pointed end alone. [Pg.135]

Figure 2 The actin-ADP-ribosylating toxins, (a) Molecular mode of action. The actin-ADP-ribosylating toxins covalently transfer an ADP-ribose moiety from NAD+ onto Arg177 of G-actin in the cytosol of targeted cells. Mono-ADP-ribosylated G-actin acts as a capping protein and inhibits the assembly of nonmodified actin into filaments. Thus, actin polymerization is blocked at the fast-growing ends of actin filaments (plus or barbed ends) but not at the slow growing ends (minus or pointed ends). This effect ultimately increases the critical concentration necessary for actin polymerization and tends to depolymerize F-actin. Finally, all actin within an intoxicated cell becomes trapped as ADP-ribosylated G-actin. Figure 2 The actin-ADP-ribosylating toxins, (a) Molecular mode of action.

Fig. 2. Model of the cytopathic effects of actin ADP-ribosylating toxins. The activated binding component of C. botulinum C2 toxin binds to a receptor of the eukaryotic cell. This induces a binding site for the enzyme component (C2I), Most likely, C2I enters the cell by endocytosis and subsequent translocation. In the cell, G-actin is ADP-ribosylated, which inhibits its polymerization and traps actin in the monomeric form. ADP-ribosylated actin binds in a capping protein-like manner to the barbed ends of filaments to inhibit further polymerization at the fast-growing end of F-acfin. The foxin has no effects on the pointed end of filaments where actin depolymerization takes place. Additionally, ADP-ribosylation may affect functions of complexes of acfin wifh binding proteins as examplified in Fig. 1 (From (Aktories, 1990) with permission)... Fig. 2.
