Explication of the Aip1p/cofilin/actin filament complex may lead to a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms by which Aip1p and cofilin collaborate to rapidly disassemble filaments. We further characterized the actin-Aip1p interface through a random mutagenic screen of ACT1, identifying a novel Aip1p interaction site on actin. This finding is consistent with our current ternary complex model and offers insights into how Aip1p may disturb intersubunit contacts within an actin filament. In addition, site-directed mutagenesis aimed at interfering with salt bridge interactions at the predicted Aip1p-cofilin interface revealed hyperactive alleles of cof1 and aip1 that support the ternary complex model and suggest that conformational changes in cofilin structure may be transmitted to actin filaments, causing increased destabilization. Furthermore, these data support an active role for Aip1p in promoting actin filament turnover.
对Aip1p/丝切蛋白/肌动蛋白丝复合物的阐释可能会使我们更详细地了解Aip1p和丝切蛋白协同作用以快速拆解肌动蛋白丝的机制。我们通过对ACT1进行随机诱变筛选,进一步表征了肌动蛋白与Aip1p的界面,确定了肌动蛋白上一个新的Aip1p相互作用位点。这一发现与我们当前的三元复合物模型一致,并为Aip1p如何干扰肌动蛋白丝内的亚基间接触提供了见解。此外,旨在干扰预测的Aip1p-丝切蛋白界面处盐桥相互作用的定点诱变揭示了cof1和aip1的高活性等位基因,这些等位基因支持三元复合物模型,并表明丝切蛋白结构的构象变化可能传递至肌动蛋白丝,导致稳定性增加。此外,这些数据支持Aip1p在促进肌动蛋白丝周转中发挥积极作用。
