ジャーナル: Nat Commun / 年: 2024 タイトル: Cryo-EM structures reveal how phosphate release from Arp3 weakens actin filament branches formed by Arp2/3 complex. 著者: Sai Shashank Chavali / Steven Z Chou / Wenxiang Cao / Thomas D Pollard / Enrique M De La Cruz / Charles V Sindelar / 要旨: Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin filaments for cell and organelle movements.

Here we report a 2.7 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of the mature branch junction formed by S. pombe Arp2/3 complex that provides details about interactions with both mother and daughter filaments. We determine a second structure at 3.2 Å resolution with the phosphate analog BeF bound with ADP to Arp3 and ATP bound to Arp2. In this ADP-BeF transition state the outer domain of Arp3 is rotated 2° toward the mother filament compared with the ADP state and makes slightly broader contacts with actin in both the mother and daughter filaments. Thus, dissociation of P from the ADP-P transition state reduces the interactions of Arp2/3 complex with the actin filaments and may contribute to the lower mechanical stability of mature branch junctions with ADP bound to the Arps. Our structures also reveal that the mother filament in contact with Arp2/3 complex is slightly bent and twisted, consistent with the preference of Arp2/3 complex binding curved actin filaments. The small degree of twisting constrains models of actin filament mechanics.

Actin monomers with bound Ca2+ were converted to Mg2+-actin by equilibrating with 50 micromolar MgCl2 and 0.2 mM EGTA (pH 7.5) for 10 min on ice. Actin was polymerized in the presence of capping protein (CP) by sequentially mixing 8.75 micromolar Mg-ATP-actin monomers with 0.75 micromolar CP and equilibrated at room temperature for 1 h. In parallel, Arp2/3 complex (0.4 micromolar) in QB buffer was activated by mixing 0.85 micromolar GCN4-VCA and 50 micromolar ATP and incubated at 4 degrees for 1 h. The capped actin filaments sample was then gently mixed with an equal volume of activated Arp2/3 complex sample using cut pipette tips and equilibrated at 4 degrees for 5 min. Daughter filaments were formed and elongated in the presence of CP by adding 0.25 micromolar Mg-actin monomers, 50 micromolar ATP, and 40 nM CP and incubated for 5 min at room temperature. This step was subsequently repeated 4 more times, then aged for ~90 min before preparing grids for cryo-EM data collection.
