Arpin proteins have an acidic tail homologous to the acidic motif of the VCA domain of nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs). This tail is predicted to compete with the VCA of NPFs for binding to the Arp2/3 complex, thereby mitigating activation and/or tethering of the complex to sites of actin branching. Here, we investigated the structure of full-length Arpin using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering, and of its acidic tail in complex with an ankyrin repeats domain using X-ray crystallography. The data were combined in a hybrid model in which the acidic tail extends from the globular core as a linear peptide and forms a primary epitope that is readily accessible in unbound Arpin and suffices to tether Arpin to interacting proteins with high affinity.

In this case, the molecular mass is overestimated when assessing this parameter from I(0) and concentration.
