Nucleotide binding to actin. Cation dependence of nucleotide dissociation and exchange rates.

چکیده
We have reinvestigated nucleotide binding to actin in order to resolve conflicts regarding the mechanism of nucleotide dissociation and exchange. We present evidence that supports a mechanism for nucleotide binding to actin in which the tightly bound divalent cation (Ca2+ or Mg2+) directly interacts with the bound nucleotide. The dissociation rates of ATP or ADP from actin are limited by the dissociation of the high affinity divalent cation from actin and vary inversely with free Ca2+ or free Mg2+ concentration. The divalent cation concentration range over which attenuation of the ATP dissociation takes place is about 100-fold greater for Mg2+ than that for Ca2+ due to the much slower association rate constant for Mg2+ compared with Ca2+. The relative affinity for ATP versus ADP is 200:1 for Ca-actin in 100 microM free [Ca2+], and 4:1 for Mg-actin in 100 microM free [Mg2+]. Actin without a tightly bound divalent cation has about a 3-fold greater affinity for ATP than ADP. At constant free divalent cation concentration, the rate of nucleotide exchange on actin is described by competitive binding kinetics.

Magnesium, ADP, and actin binding linkage of myosin V: evidence for multiple myosin V-ADP and actomyosin V-ADP states.
The [Mg(2+)] dependence of ADP binding to myosin V and actomyosin V was measured from the fluorescence of mantADP. Time courses of MgmantADP dissociation from myosin V and actomyosin V are biphasic with fast observed rate constants that depend on the [Mg(2+)] and slow observed rate constants that are [Mg(2+)]-independent. Two myosin V-MgADP states that are in reversible equilibrium, one that ex...
متن کاملThe requirements for adenosine triphosphate binding to globular actin.
Most of the present interest in the muscle protein actin stems directly from the fact, demonstrated by Straub and Feuer (2), that G-a&in binds adenosine triphosphate, and that concomitantly with the polymerization of G-actin, the bound adenosine triphosphate is converted to bound adenosine diphosphate (2). The association between protein and nucleotide differs depending on the state of polymeri...
متن کاملRac1 activation comes full circle.
The Rac1 small GTPase is responsive to a large array of extracellular signals and in turn controls a wide variety of cellular functions—including actin dynamics. New findings add an additional layer of intricacy to the already complex process of regulating Rac1 activity, via a positive feedback loop involving the actin-binding protein coronin 1A, the Rac1 exchange factor ArhGEF7, the Rac1 effec...
متن کاملThe role of Mg2+ cofactor in the guanine nucleotide exchange and GTP hydrolysis reactions of Rho family GTP-binding proteins.
The biological activities of Rho family GTPases are controlled by their guanine nucleotide binding states in cells. Here we have investigated the role of Mg(2+) cofactor in the guanine nucleotide binding and hydrolysis processes of the Rho family members, Cdc42, Rac1, and RhoA. Differing from Ras and Rab proteins, which require Mg(2+) for GDP and GTP binding, the Rho GTPases bind the nucleotide...
