Actin interaction with L-plastin, a plastin/fimbrins isoform of the α-actinin family of molecules, is poorly characterized, from the biochemical point of view. Besides, molecular modeling of the T-isoform has recently provided a complete model of interaction with filamentous actin [Volkmann, N., DeRosier, D., Matsudaira, P., and Hanein, D. (2001) J. Cell Biol. 153, 947−956]. In this study, we report that recombinant L-plastin binds actin in a manner that strongly resembles that of the α-actinin−actin interface. The similitudes concern the absence of specificity toward the actin isoform and the inhibition of the binding by phosphoinositides. Furthermore, the participation of actin peptides 112−125 and 360−372 in the interface together with an inhibition of the rate of pyrenyl F-actin depolymerization is in favor of a lateral binding of the plastin isoform along the filament axis and strenghtens the similitudes in the way L-plastin and α-actinin bind to actin. We have also investigated the functional aspect and the putative equivalence of the two actin-binding domains of L-plastin toward actin binding. We demonstrate for the first time that the two recombinant fragments, expressed as single domains, have different affinities for actin. We further analyzed the difference using chemical cross-linking and F-actin depolymerization experiments assayed by fluorescence and high-speed centrifugation. The results clearly demonstrate that the two actin-binding domains of plastin display different modes of interaction with the actin filament. We discuss these results in light of the model of actin interaction proposed for T-plastin.

The F-actin binding domains of gelsolin and alpha-actinin compete for the same site on actin filaments with similar binding affinities. Both contain tandem repeats of approximately 125 amino acids, the first of which is shown to contain the actin-binding site. We have replaced the F-actin binding domain in the NH2-terminal half of gelsolin by that of alpha-actinin. The hybrid severs filaments almost as efficiently as does gelsolin or its NH2-terminal half, but unlike the latter, requires calcium ions. The hybrid binds two actin monomers and caps the barbed ends of filaments in the presence or absence of calcium. The cap produced by the hybrid binds with lower affinity than that of gelsolin and is not stable: It dissociates from filament ends with a half life of approximately 15 min. Although there is no extended sequence homology between these two different F-actin binding domains, our experiments show that they are functionally equivalent and provide new insights into the mechanism of microfilament severing.

The interaction between alpha-actinin and actin was further characterized using natural and synthetic peptides of actin together with anti-actin antibodies of known specificity. We demonstrated that two alpha-actinin binding sequences on actin are located within residues 112-125 and 360-372. Each peptide was shown to directly bind alpha-actinin and was able to dissociate the alpha-actinin-actin complex using solid phase binding assays and cosedimentation experiments. Taking into account the three-dimensional structure of actin (Kabsch, W., Mannherz, H. G., Suck, D., Pai, E. F., and Holmes, K. C. (1990) Nature 347, 37-44), we postulate that these two segments, proximal in the actin structure, are part of the same site. In addition, we compared these two segments with those recently found for filamin (Mejean, C., Lebart, M. C., Boyer, M., Roustan, C., and Benyamin, Y. (1992) Eur. J. Biochem. 209, 555-562), Egan, S., Stewart, M., Stossel, T. P., Kwiatkowski, D. J., and Hartwig, J. H. (1990) J. Cell Biol. 111, 1089-1105), and concluded that the two actin-binding proteins interact with closely spaced or overlapping but not identical sequences of actin subdomain 1.
