Three Crystal Structures of Human Coactosin-like Protein
Contents |
Overview
Human coactosin-like protein is an actin filament binding protein but does, not bind to globular actin. It associates with 5-Lipoxygenase both in vivo, and in vitro, playing important roles in modulating the activities of, actin and 5-Lipoxygenase. Coactosin counteracts the capping activity of, capping protein which inhibits the actin polymerization. We determined the, crystal structures of human coactosin-like protein by multi-wavelength, anomalous dispersion method. The structure showed a high level of, similarity to ADF-H domain, although their amino acid sequences share low, degree of homology. A few conserved hydrophobic residues that may, contribute to the folding were identified. This structure suggests, coactosin-like protein bind to F-actin in a different way from ADF/Cofilin, family. Combined with the information from previous mutagenesis studies, the binding sites for F-actin and 5-Lipoxygenase were analyzed, respectively. These two sites are quite close, which might prevent F-actin, and 5-Lipoxygenase from binding to coactosin simultaneously.
