The F-actin binding properties of chicken villin, its headpiece and domains 2-3 (V2-3) have been analysed to identify sites involved in bundle formation. Headpiece and V2-3 bind actin with Kd values of approximately 7 microM and approximately 0.3 microM, respectively, at low ionic strength. V2-3 binding, like that of villin, is weakened with increasing salt concentration; headpiece binding is not. Competition experiments show that headpiece and V2-3 bind to different sites on actin, forming the two cross-linking sites of villin. Headpiece does not compete with the F-actin binding domains of gelsolin or alpha-actinin, but it dissociates actin depolymerizing factor. We suggest that the F-actin binding domains of actin severing, crosslinking and capping proteins can be organized into two classes.
