  2. Cells coordinate actin filament assembly for a wide range of processes Correct -Time (signaling) -Place -Architecture -Dynamics

  3. Cells coordinate actin filament assembly for a wide range of processes Coordinated action of many actin-binding Proteins -sequestering -nucleating -bundling -capping -severing -depolymerizing Profilin AdaptedfromPollard and Cooper, Science, 2009

  4. Profilin inhibits spontaneous nucleation of actin filament Pointed end Elongation Barbed end Nucleation Factor Nucleation

  5. Arp2/3 complex generates a branched actin filament network Collins et al., Current Biology, 2011 OG-actin TIRF,

  6. Formin nucleates long-straight actin filaments -profilin + profilin TIRF OG-actin Yang et al., PlosBiol, 2007 Kovar and Pollard, PNAS, 2004

  8. 30-fold more Arp2/3 complex than formins in fission yeast Do Arp2/3 complex and formin compete for actin monomers? Nucleators per cell ~50,000 Arp2/3 complex ~1,500 formins Actin per cell ~1,000,000 total Patches (Arp2/3): 500,000 – 50% Ring (formin Cdc12): 75,000 – 7.5% Cables (formin For3): 150,000? – 15% Tom Pollard, Jian-qiu Wu, VolodiaSirotkin, Fred Chang labs

  10. How do ~1,500 formins successfully compete with ~50,000 Arp2/3 complexes for actin monomers?

  12. How do ~1,500 formins successfully compete with ~50,000 Arp2/3 complexes for actin monomers?

  13. Does profilin inhibit Arp2/3 complex-generated actin filament network?

  14. Profilin inhibits actin filament assembly induced by Arp2/3 complex Pyrene-actin assembly

  15. Profilin inhibits actin filament nucleation induced by Arp2/3 complex Actin, 1.5 µM + Arp2/3 complex + profilin, 1.5 µM + profilin, 5 µM TIRF, OG-actin

  16. Profilin mediates competition between Arp2/3 complex and formin.

  17. Inhibition of Arp2/3 complex suppresses fission yeast profilin-ts cells Fission yeast profilin temperature sensitive cells Genetic version of this experiment: Kathy Gould’s lab mid 90’s

  18. Addition of formin makes the inhibition of Arp2/3 complex more pronounced + red-SNAP-formin + profilin, 1.5 µM Actin, 1.5 µM + Arp2/3 complex + profilin, 1.5 µM TIRF, OG-actin

  19. Profilin allows formin to efficiently compete with an excess of Arp2/3 complex FLOW Arp2/3 complex, 100 nM Profilin, 5µM Arp2/3 complex, 100 nM Red-SNAP-Cdc12, 1 nM TIRF, OG-actin

  20. Actinnucleators are spatially separated GFP-Rng2(CHD) Kovaret al., Trends Cell Biol., 2011

  21. Actin assembly from VCA-bead and formin-beads Formin-coated bead Profilin, 4 µM VCA-coated bead Arp2/3 complex, 20 nM TIRF, OG-actin

  22. Profilin allows formin to compete with Arp2/3 complex for actin consumption Formin-bead VCA-bead Arp2/3 complex, 10 nM Arp2/3 complex, 10 nM Profilin, 4 µM FLOW TIRF OG-actin

  23. Conclusion • Without profilin: • Slow formin-mediated actin assembly • No Arp2/3 complex inhibition Arp2/3 complex-mediated assembly dominates. • With profilin: • - Fast formin-mediated actin assembly • Arp2/3 complex inhibition Formin can efficiently compete with Arp2/3 complex for actin consumption.
