Binding of aldolase to actin-containing filaments. Evidence of interaction with the regulatory proteins of skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT: The interactions of aldolase with regulatory proteins of rabbit skeletal muscle were investigated by moving-boundary electrophoresis. A salt-dependent interaction of troponin, tropomyosin and the tropomyosin-troponin complex with aldolase was detected, the tropomyosin-troponin complex displaying a greater affinity for the enzyme than did either regulatory protein alone. The results indicate that aldolase possesses multiple binding sites (three or more) for these muscle proteins. Quantitative studies of the binding of aldolase to actin-containing filaments showed the interaction to be influenced markedly by the presence of these muscle regulatory proteins on the filaments. In imidazole/HCl buffer, I 0.088, pH 6.8, aldolase binds to F-actin with an affinity constant of 2 x 10(5) M-1 and a stoicheiometry of one tetrameric aldolase molecule per 14 monomeric actin units. Use of F-actin-tropomyosin as adsorbent results in a doubling of the stoicheiometry without significant change in the intrinsic association constant. With F-actin-tropomyosin-troponin a lower binding constant (6 x 10(4) M-1) but even greater stoicheiometry (4:14 actin units) are observed. The presence of Ca2+ (0.1 mM) decreases this stoicheiometry to 3:14 without affecting significantly the magnitude of the intrinsic binding constant.

Interaction of aldolase with actin-containing filaments. Structural studies.

Project description:Electron micrographs of the paracrystals formed when fructose bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) is added to actin-containing filaments were analysed by computer methods so that ultrastructural changes could be correlated with the various stoicheiometries of binding determined in the preceding paper [Walsh, Winzor, Clarke, Masters & Morton (1980) Biochem. J. 186, 89-98]. Paracrystals formed with aldolase and either F-actin or F-actin-tropomyosin have a single light transverse band every 38 nm, which is due to aldolase molecules cross-linking the filaments. In contrast, the paracrystals formed between aldolase and F-actin-tropomyosin-troponin filaments show two transverse bands every 38 nm: a major band, interpreted as aldolase binding to troponin, and a minor band, interpreted as aldolase cross-linking the filaments. The intensity of the minor band varies with Ca2+ concentration, being greatest when the Ca2+ concentration is low. A model for the different paracrystal structures which relates the various patterns and binding stoicheiometries to structural changes in the actin-containing filaments is proposed.

Modification of the kinetic parameters of aldolase on binding to the actin-containing filaments of skeletal muscle.

Project description:The kinetic parameters of fructose bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) were shown to be modified on binding of the enzyme to the actin-containing filaments of skeletal muscle. Although binding to F-actin or F-actin-tropomyosin filaments results in relative minor changes in kinetic properties, binding to F-actin-tropomyosin-troponin filaments produces major alterations in the kinetic parameters, and, in addition, renders them Ca2+-sensitive. These observations may be relevant to an understanding of the function of this enzyme within the muscle fibre.

Aldolase binding to actin-containing filaments. Formation of paracrystals.

Project description:Electron-microscopy observation show that when aldolase binds to F-actin or F-actin-tropomyosin, highly ordered paracrystalline structures are formed consisting of tightly packed filament bundles cross-banded at 36 nm intervals. Morphologically different paracrystalline arrays are formed between aldolase and F-actin-tropomyosin-troponin. The filament bundles are far more extensive and are characterized by a prominent cross-striation at 38nm intervals. It is suggested that this reflects an interaction between troponin and aldolase.

Clathrin plaques and associated actin anchor intermediate filaments in skeletal muscle.

Project description:Clathrin plaques are stable features of the plasma membrane observed in several cell types. They are abundant in muscle, where they localize at costameres that link the contractile apparatus to the sarcolemma and connect the sarcolemma to the basal lamina. Here, we show that clathrin plaques and surrounding branched actin filaments form microdomains that anchor a three-dimensional desmin intermediate filament (IF) web. Depletion of clathrin plaque and branched actin components causes accumulation of desmin tangles in the cytoplasm. We show that dynamin 2, whose mutations cause centronuclear myopathy (CNM), regulates both clathrin plaques and surrounding branched actin filaments, while CNM-causing mutations lead to desmin disorganization in a CNM mouse model and patient biopsies. Our results suggest a novel paradigm in cell biology, wherein clathrin plaques act as platforms capable of recruiting branched cortical actin, which in turn anchors IFs, both essential for striated muscle formation and function.

Binding of aldolase to actin-containing filaments. Quantitative reappraisal of the interactions.

Project description:Previously reported results of equilibrium-partition experiments on the interaction of aldolase with actin-containing filaments [Walsh, Winzor, Clarke, Masters & Morton (1980) Biochem. J. 186, 89-98] have been subjected to a more rigorous theoretical analysis involving consideration of the consequences of cross-linking interactions between enzyme and filament. The experimental results obtained with F-actin-tropomyosin are best described by a model with one binding site per heptameric repeat unit of filament and a value of 39000 M-1 for the site binding constant, k. Similar analyses of the influence of Ca2+ on aldolase binding to F-actin--tropomyosin--troponin substantiate the existence of two equivalent binding sites (k = 14900 M-1) for the enzyme on each repeat unit of the thin filament. The Ca2+-sensitivity of this interaction reflects either a decrease in the strength of aldolase binding to these two sites (k = 8200 M-1) or the elimination of one site.

Z-disc-associated, alternatively spliced, PDZ motif-containing protein (ZASP) mutations in the actin-binding domain cause disruption of skeletal muscle actin filaments in myofibrillar myopathy.

Project description:The core of skeletal muscle Z-discs consists of actin filaments from adjacent sarcomeres that are cross-linked by ?-actinin homodimers. Z-disc-associated, alternatively spliced, PDZ motif-containing protein (ZASP)/Cypher interacts with ?-actinin, myotilin, and other Z-disc proteins via the PDZ domain. However, these interactions are not sufficient to maintain the Z-disc structure. We show that ZASP directly interacts with skeletal actin filaments. The actin-binding domain is between the modular PDZ and LIM domains. This ZASP region is alternatively spliced so that each isoform has unique actin-binding domains. All ZASP isoforms contain the exon 6-encoded ZASP-like motif that is mutated in zaspopathy, a myofibrillar myopathy (MFM), whereas the exon 8-11 junction-encoded peptide is exclusive to the postnatal long ZASP isoform (ZASP-L?ex10). MFM is characterized by disruption of skeletal muscle Z-discs and accumulation of myofibrillar degradation products. Wild-type and mutant ZASP interact with ?-actin, ?-actinin, and myotilin. Expression of mutant, but not wild-type, ZASP leads to Z-disc disruption and F-actin accumulation in mouse skeletal muscle, as in MFM. Mutations in the actin-binding domain of ZASP-L?ex10, but not other isoforms, cause disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in muscle cells. These isoform-specific mutation effects highlight the essential role of the ZASP-L?ex10 isoform in F-actin organization. Our results show that MFM-associated ZASP mutations in the actin-binding domain have deleterious effects on the core structure of the Z-discs in skeletal muscle.

The non-muscle actinopathy-associated mutation E334Q in cytoskeletal γ-actin perturbs interaction of actin filaments with myosin and ADF/cofilin family proteins.

Project description:Various heterozygous cytoskeletal γ-actin mutations have been shown to cause Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome, non-syndromic hearing loss, or isolated eye coloboma. Here, we report the biochemical characterization of human cytoskeletal γ-actin carrying mutation E334Q, a mutation that leads to a hitherto unspecified non-muscle actinopathy. Following expression, purification, and removal of linker and thymosin β4 tag sequences, the p.E334Q monomers show normal integration into linear and branched actin filaments. The mutation does not affect thermal stability, actin filament nucleation, elongation, and turnover. Model building and normal mode analysis predict significant differences in the interaction of p.E334Q filaments with myosin motors and members of the ADF/cofilin family of actin-binding proteins. Assays probing the interactions of p.E334Q filaments with human class 2 and class 5 myosin motor constructs show significant reductions in sliding velocity and actin affinity. E334Q differentially affects cofilin-mediated actin dynamics by increasing the rate of cofilin-mediated de novo nucleation of actin filaments and decreasing the efficiency of cofilin-mediated filament severing. Thus, it is likely that p.E334Q-mediated changes in myosin motor activity, as well as filament turnover, contribute to the observed disease phenotype.

Evolutionarily diverse LIM domain-containing proteins bind stressed actin filaments through a conserved mechanism.

Project description:The actin cytoskeleton assembles into diverse load-bearing networks, including stress fibers (SFs), muscle sarcomeres, and the cytokinetic ring to both generate and sense mechanical forces. The LIM (Lin11, Isl- 1, and Mec-3) domain family is functionally diverse, but most members can associate with the actin cytoskeleton with apparent force sensitivity. Zyxin rapidly localizes via its LIM domains to failing SFs in cells, known as strain sites, to initiate SF repair and maintain mechanical homeostasis. The mechanism by which these LIM domains associate with stress fiber strain sites (SFSS) is not known. Additionally, it is unknown how widespread strain sensing is within the LIM protein family. We identify that the LIM domain-containing region of 18 proteins from the Zyxin, Paxillin, Tes, and Enigma proteins accumulate to SFSS. Moreover, the LIM domain region from the fission yeast protein paxillin like 1 (Pxl1) also localizes to SFSS in mammalian cells, suggesting that the strain sensing mechanism is ancient and highly conserved. We then used sequence and domain analysis to demonstrate that tandem LIM domains contribute additively, for SFSS localization. Employing in vitro reconstitution, we show that the LIM domain-containing region from mammalian zyxin and fission yeast Pxl1 binds to mechanically stressed F-actin networks but does not associate with relaxed actin filaments. We propose that tandem LIM domains recognize an F-actin conformation that is rare in the relaxed state but is enriched in the presence of mechanical stress.

Specific interaction of the actin-binding domain of dystrophin with intermediate filaments containing keratin 19.

Project description:Cytokeratins 8 and 19 concentrate at costameres of striated muscle and copurify with the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, perhaps through the interaction of the cytokeratins with the actin-binding domain of dystrophin. We overexpressed dystrophin's actin-binding domain (Dys-ABD), K8 and K19, as well as closely related proteins, in COS-7 cells to assess the basis and specificity of their interaction. Dys-ABD alone associated with actin microfilaments. Expressed with K8 and K19, which form filaments, Dys-ABD associated preferentially with the cytokeratins. This interaction was specific, as the homologous ABD of betaI-spectrin failed to interact with K8/K19 filaments, and Dys-ABD did not associate with desmin or K8/K18 filaments. Studies in COS-7 cells and in vitro showed that Dys-ABD binds directly and specifically to K19. Expressed in muscle fibers in vivo, K19 accumulated in the myoplasm in structures that contained dystrophin and spectrin and disrupted the organization of the sarcolemma. K8 incorporated into sarcomeres, with no effect on the sarcolemma. Our results show that dystrophin interacts through its ABD with K19 specifically and are consistent with the idea that cytokeratins associate with dystrophin at the sarcolemma of striated muscle.

Interaction of formin FH2 with skeletal muscle actin. EPR and DSC studies.

Project description:Formins are highly conserved proteins that are essential in the formation and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. The formin homology 2 (FH2) domain is responsible for actin binding and acts as an important nucleating factor in eukaryotic cells. In this work EPR and DSC were used to investigate the properties of the mDia1-FH2 formin fragment and its interaction with actin. MDia1-FH2 was labeled with a maleimide spin probe (MSL). EPR results suggested that the MSL was attached to a single SH group in the FH2. In DSC and temperature-dependent EPR experiments we observed that mDia1-FH2 has a flexible structure and observed a major temperature-induced conformational change at 41 °C. The results also confirmed the previous observation obtained by fluorescence methods that formin binding can destabilize the structure of actin filaments. In the EPR experiments the intermolecular connection between the monomers of formin dimers proved to be flexible. Considering the complex molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular roles of formins this internal flexibility of the dimers is probably important for manifestation of their biological functions.
