Actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin and gelsolin are the two major factors to enhance actin filament disassembly. Actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) enhances fragmentation of ADF/cofilin-bound filaments and caps the barbed ends. However, the mechanism by which AIP1 disassembles ADF/cofilin-bound filaments is not clearly understood. Here, we directly observed the effects of these proteins on filamentous actin by fluorescence microscopy and gained novel insight into the function of ADF/cofilin and AIP1. ADF/cofilin severed filaments and AIP1 strongly enhanced disassembly at nanomolar concentrations. However, gelsolin, gelsolin-actin complex, or cytochalasin D did not enhance disassembly by ADF/cofilin, suggesting that the strong activity of AIP1 cannot be explained by simple barbed end capping. Barbed end capping by ADF/cofilin and AIP1 was weak and allowed filament elongation, whereas gelsolin or gelsolin-actin complex strongly capped and inhibited elongation. These results suggest that AIP has an active role in filament severing or depolymerization and that ADF/cofilin and AIP1 are distinct from gelsolin in modulating filament elongation.
肌动蛋白解聚因子(ADF)/丝切蛋白和凝溶胶蛋白是增强肌动蛋白丝解聚的两个主要因素。肌动蛋白相互作用蛋白1(AIP1)可增强与ADF/丝切蛋白结合的肌动蛋白丝的片段化,并封闭肌动蛋白丝的尖端。然而,AIP1拆解与ADF/丝切蛋白结合的肌动蛋白丝的机制尚不清楚。在这里,我们通过荧光显微镜直接观察了这些蛋白质对丝状肌动蛋白的影响,并对ADF/丝切蛋白和AIP1的功能有了新的认识。ADF/丝切蛋白切断肌动蛋白丝,AIP1在纳摩尔浓度下能强烈增强解聚。然而,凝溶胶蛋白、凝溶胶蛋白-肌动蛋白复合物或细胞松弛素D并不能增强ADF/丝切蛋白介导的解聚,这表明AIP1的强大活性不能简单地用封闭肌动蛋白丝尖端来解释。ADF/丝切蛋白和AIP1对肌动蛋白丝尖端的封闭作用较弱,能使肌动蛋白丝延长,而凝溶胶蛋白或凝溶胶蛋白-肌动蛋白复合物则能强烈封闭并抑制其延长。这些结果表明,AIP在肌动蛋白丝切断或解聚过程中发挥着积极作用,并且ADF/丝切蛋白和AIP1在调节肌动蛋白丝延长方面与凝溶胶蛋白不同。
