Actin arginylation alters myosin engagement and F-actin patterning despite structural conservation

Actin is a highly abundant and key protein that forms long filaments inside cells, helping them maintain shape, move, and divide. This functional versatility arises from its ability to interact with a wide range of binding partners and via tight regulation. One important mechanism of regulation is post-translational modifications such as actin arginylation.

A new study from the labs of Professor Mohan Balasubramanian, Associate Professor Masanori Mishima, Professor Karuna Sampath and collaborators, Dr Sarah Heissler and Dr Krishna Chinthalapudi, in the Ohio State College of Medicine, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, further our understanding of how arginylated actin looks and interacts with a key actin interactor Myosin II. Importantly, they found that the acidic amino acids in the N-terminus of actin facilitate interactions with a set of basic amino acids in myosin, and that arginylation might sort actin into locations wherein contractility is minimized.
