Abstract：
:Three methods, fluorescence anisotropy of rhodamine-labeled profilin, intrinsic fluorescence and nucleotide exchange, give the same affinity, Kd = 0.1 microM, for Acanthamoeba profilins binding amoeba actin monomers with bound Mg-ATP. Replacement of serine 38 with cysteine created a unique site where labeling with rhodamine did not alter the affinity of profilin for actin. The affinity for rabbit skeletal muscle actin is about 4-fold lower. The affinity for both actins is 5-8-fold lower with ADP bound to actin rather than ATP. Pyrenyliodoacetamide labeling of cysteine 374 of muscle actin reduces the affinity for profilin 10-fold. The affinity of profilin for nucleotide-free actin is approximately 3-fold higher than for Mg-ATP-actin and approximately 24-fold higher than for Mg-ADP-actin. As a result, profilin binding reduces the affinity of actin 3-fold for Mg-ATP and 24-fold for Mg-ADP. Mg-ATP dissociates 8 times faster from actin-profilin than from actin and binds actin-profilin 3 times faster than actin. Mg-ADP dissociates 14 times faster from actin-profilin than from actin and binds actin-profilin half as fast as actin. Thus, profilin promotes the exchange of ADP for ATP. These properties allow profilin to bind a high proportion of unpolymerized ATP-actin in the cell, suppressing spontaneous nucleation but allowing free barbed ends to elongate at more than 500 subunits/second.
