New Insights into Mechanism and Regulation of Actin Capping Protein

Abstract: The heterodimeric actin capping protein, referred to here as "CP," is an essential element of the actin cytoskeleton, binding to the barbed ends of actin filaments and regulating their polymerization. In vitro, CP has a critical role in the dendritic nucleation process of actin assembly mediated by Arp2/3 complex, and in vivo, CP is important for actin assembly and actin-based process of morphogenesis and differentiation. Recent studies have provided new insight into the mechanism of CP binding the barbed end,… Show more

“…The CAPZ dimer binds barbed ends of actin filaments to prevent further elongation. Through this effect CAPZ controls filament length and branch density, and consequently force generation at areas of Arp2/3-mediated actin assembly (10). CAPZ was also recently shown to indirectly promote filament nucleation by Arp2/3 complex by shifting the balance of VCA activity from filament barbed end binding (28) to promotion of nucleation (29).…”

“…Clmn and nck-associated protein 1 (Nckap1) (14) are actin binding IMPs. Actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2/4 (Arpc2 and Arpc4) (15), gelsolin isoform 2 (Gsn) (16), adseverin isoform-1 (Scin) (17)(18)(19), and filamentous actin (F-actin) capping protein β (Capzb) (20) are F-actin end-binding proteins. Mpp5 (21,22), drebrin-like protein isoform 3 (Dbn1) (23)(24)(25), and LIM and SH3 domain protein 1 (Lasp1) (26) are actinbinding adaptor proteins.…”

“…Also, the analysis of chromatographic fractions and polymerization kinetic indicated the presence of trace amounts of an active factor in "natural" mussel actin, whose molecular weight is somewhat higher than the actin weight. This factor most likely is similar to the capping protein (CP), which is a heterodimer with a molecular weight of about 60 kDa [20]. Earlier, the actin-capping activity was found in the residue of acetone powder, after extraction of actin [21].…”
