| + | An antiparallel actin dimer has been proposed to be an intermediate species during actin filament nucleation. We now show that latrunculin A, a marine natural product that inhibits actin polymerization, arrests polylysine-induced nucleation at the level of an antiparallel dimer, resulting in its accumulation. These dimers, when composed of pyrene-labeled actin subunits, give rise to a fluorescent excimer, permitting detection during polymerization in vitro. We report the crystallographic structure of the polylysine-actin-latrunculin A complex at 3.5-A resolution. The non-crystallographic contact is consistent with a dimeric structure and confirms the antiparallel orientation of its subunits. The crystallographic contacts reveal that the mobile DNase I binding loop of one subunit of a symmetry-related antiparallel actin dimer is partially stabilized in the interface between the two subunits of a second antiparallel dimer. These results provide a potential explanation for the paradoxical nucleation of actin filaments that have exclusively parallel subunits by a dimer containing antiparallel subunits. | ||
