- Mechanisms of nuclear actin in chromatin-remodeling complexes.
- Kapoor P1, Shen X2.Author information 1Department of Molecular Carcinogenesis, Science Park Research Division, The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Smithville, TX 78957, USA.2Department of Molecular Carcinogenesis, Science Park Research Division, The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Smithville, TX 78957, USA. Electronic address: snowshen@mac.com.AbstractThe mystery of nuclear actin has puzzled biologists for decades largely due to the lack of defined experimental systems. However, the development of actin-containing chromatin-modifying complexes as a defined genetic and biochemical system in the past decade has provided an unprecedented opportunity to dissect the mechanism of actin in the nucleus. Although the established functions of actin mostly rely on its dynamic polymerization, the novel finding of the mechanism of action of actin in the INO80 chromatin-remodeling complex suggests a conceptually distinct mode of actin that functions as a monomer. In this review we highlight the new paradigm and discuss how actin interaction with chromatin suggests a fundamental divergence between conventional cytoplasmic actin and nuclear actin. Furthermore, we provide how this framework could be applied to investigations of nuclear actin in other actin-containing chromatin-modifying complexes.

- The β-actin mRNA zipcode regulates epithelial adherens junction assembly but not maintenance.
- Gutierrez N1, Eromobor I, Petrie RJ, Vedula P, Cruz L, Rodriguez AJ.Author information 1Department of Biological Sciences, Rutgers University Newark, Newark, New Jersey 07102, USA.AbstractEpithelial cell-cell contact stimulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling to down-regulate branched filament polymerization-driven lamellar protrusion and subsequently to assemble linear actin filaments required for E-cadherin anchoring during adherens junction complex assembly. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that de novo protein synthesis, the β-actin 3' UTR, and the β-actin mRNA zipcode are required for epithelial adherens junction complex assembly but not maintenance. Specifically, we demonstrate that perturbing cell-cell contact-localized β-actin monomer synthesis causes epithelial adherens junction assembly defects. Consequently, inhibiting β-actin mRNA zipcode/ZBP1 interactions with β-actin mRNA zipcode antisense oligonucleotides, to intentionally delocalize β-actin monomer synthesis, is sufficient to perturb adherens junction assembly following epithelial cell-cell contact. Additionally, we demonstrate active RhoA, the signal required to drive zipcode-mediated β-actin mRNA targeting, is localized at epithelial cell-cell contact sites in a β-actin mRNA zipcode-dependent manner. Moreover, chemically inhibiting Src kinase activity prevents the local stimulation of β-actin monomer synthesis at cell-cell contact sites while inhibiting epithelial adherens junction assembly. Together, these data demonstrate that epithelial cell-cell contact stimulates β-actin mRNA zipcode-mediated monomer synthesis to spatially regulate actin filament remodeling, thereby controlling adherens junction assembly to modulate cell and tissue adhesion.

- Autonomous and in trans functions for the two halves of Srv2/CAP in promoting actin turnover.
- Chaudhry F1, Jansen S, Little K, Suarez C, Boujemaa-Paterski R, Blanchoin L, Goode BL.Author information 1Department of Biology, Rosenstiel Basic Medical Science Research Center, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, 02454, U.S.A.AbstractRecent evidence has suggested that Srv2/CAP (cyclase-associated protein) has two distinct functional roles in regulating actin turnover, with its N-terminus enhancing cofilin-mediated severing of actin filaments and its C-terminus catalyzing actin monomer recycling. However, it has remained unclear to what degree these two activities are coordinated by being linked in one molecule, or whether they can function autonomously. To address this, we physically divided the protein into two separate halves, N-Srv2 and C-Srv2, and asked whether they are able to function in trans both in living cells and in reconstituted assays for F-actin turnover and actin-based motility. Remarkably, in F-actin turnover assays the stimulatory effects of N-Srv2 and C-Srv2 functioning in trans were quantitatively similar to those of intact full-length Srv2. Further, in bead motility assays and in vivo, the fragments again functioned in trans, although not with the full effectiveness of intact Srv2. From these data, we conclude that the functions of the two halves of Srv2/CAP are largely autonomous, although their linkage improves coordination of the two functions in specific settings, possibly explaining why the linkage is conserved across distant plant, animal, and fungal species. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
