| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rearrangement of actin filaments by polymerization, depolymerization, and severing, is important for many cellular functions. Cofilin and actin-interacting protein 1 (AIP1) are evolutionally conserved proteins. They cooperatively sever actin filaments. However, little is known about the biophysical basis of the actin-filament severing by cofilin and AIP1 proteins. We performed single molecule kinetics analyses of fluorescently labeled AIP1 during the severing process of cofilin-decorated actin filaments that was fluorescently labeled with a different color chromophore. Our results showed that binding of a single AIP molecule was sufficient to enhance filament severing and may follow the MM type kinetics.
