Popis: | Gelsolin is an actin-binding protein that is regulated by the occupancy of multiple calcium-binding sites. We have studied calcium induced conformational changes in the G1-2 and G1-3 sub-domains, and report the binding affinities for the three type II sites. A new probe for G3 has been produced and a Kd of 5 lM has been measured for calcium in the context of G1-3. The two halves of gelsolin, G1-3 and G4-6 bind weakly with or without calcium, suggesting that once separated by apop- totic proteolysis, G1-3 and G4-6 remain apart allowing G1-3 to sever actin in a calcium free manner. � 2007 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
