摘要


Actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) is a conserved WD-repeat protein that enhances actin filament disassembly only in the presence of actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, an AIP1 ortholog is encoded by the unc-78 gene that is required for organized assembly of muscle actin filaments. We produced bacterially expressed UNC-78 protein and found that it enhances actin filament disassembly preferentially in the presence of a specific ADF/cofilin isoform. Extensive and rapid filament disassembly by UNC-78 was observed in the presence of UNC-60B, a muscle-specific C. elegans ADF/cofilin isoform. UNC-78 also reduced the rate of spontaneous polymerization and enhanced subunit dissociation from filaments in the presence of UNC-60B. However, in the presence of UNC-60A, a non-muscle C. elegans ADF/cofilin isoform, UNC-78 only slightly enhanced filament disassembly. Interestingly, UNC-78 failed to enhance disassembly by mouse muscle-type cofilin. Using mutant forms of UNC-60B, we demonstrated that the F-actin-specific binding site of UNC-60B at the C terminus is required for filament disassembly by UNC-78. UNC-78 was expressed in body wall muscle and co-localized with actin where UNC-60B was also present. Surprisingly, UNC-78 was co-localized with actin in unc-60B null mutants, suggesting that the AIP1-actin interaction is not dependent on ADF/cofilin in muscle. These results suggest that UNC-78 closely collaborates with UNC-60B to regulate actin dynamics in muscle cells.
