The mechanisms underlying P release from the core and barbed end of actin filaments remain unclear. Here, using human and bovine actin isoforms, we combine cryo-EM with molecular-dynamics simulations and in vitro reconstitution to demonstrate how actin releases P through a 'molecular backdoor'. While constantly open at the barbed end, the backdoor is predominantly closed in filament-core subunits and opens only transiently through concerted amino acid rearrangements. This explains why P escapes rapidly from the filament end but slowly from internal subunits. In a nemaline-myopathy-associated actin variant, the backdoor is predominantly open in filament-core subunits, resulting in accelerated P release and filaments with drastically shortened ADP-P caps. Our results provide the molecular basis for P release from actin and exemplify how a disease-linked mutation distorts the nucleotide-state distribution and atomic structure of the filament.

During the purification, thymosin beta-4 and the deca-His-tag were removed. Actin was purified as monomer from insect cells. It was then polymerized into a filament in vitro.

詳細
chain C of pdb 8A2T (including all water molecules) was fit in the central actin subunit of the density map. After substitution of all alpha-actin specific amino-acids to the corresponding beta-actin residues, introducing the N111S mutation, and further manual model building in Coot, the resulting model was fitted in four more actin subunits (chains A, B, D, E) in the density map. The filament was modeled as a pentamer to capture the full interaction interface of the central subunit with its four neighboring subunits. All water molecules were first manually built, inspected and adjusted in the central subunit, and were then copied to the other chains with non-crystallographic symmetry (NCS). Because the local resolution was worse at the periphery of the reconstruction, we removed water molecules that displayed poor corresponding cryo-EM density in the non-central actin chains. The model was refined in Phenix real-space refine with NCS restraints but without Ramachandran and rotamer restraints.
