pubmed:abstractText
Gelsolin is an actin filament severing protein composed of six similar structured domains that differ with respect to actin, calcium and polyphospho-inositide binding. Previous work has established that gelsolin binds tropomyosin [Koepf, E.K. and Burtnick, L.D. (1992) FEBS Lett. 309, 56-58]. We have produced various specific gelsolin domains in Escherichia coli in order to establish which of the six domains binds tropomyosin. Gelsolin domains 1-3 (G1-3), G1-2 and G2 all bind tropomyosin in a pH and calcium insensitive manner whereas binding of G4-6 to tropomyosin was barely detectable under the conditions tested. We conclude that gelsolin binds tropomyosin via domain 2 (G2).
