  ABSTRACT  
 
Gelsolin participates in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton that is required during such phenomena as cell movement, cytokinesis, and apoptosis. It consists of six structurally similar domains, G1-G6, which are arranged at resting intracellular levels of calcium ion so as to obscure the three actin-binding surfaces. Elevation of Ca(2+) concentrations releases latches within the constrained structure and produces large shifts in the relative positioning of the domains, permitting gelsolin to bind to and sever actin filaments. How Ca(2+) is able to activate gelsolin has been a major question concerning the function of this protein. We present the improved structure of the C-terminal half of gelsolin bound to monomeric actin at 3.0 A resolution. Two classes of Ca(2+)-binding site are evident on gelsolin: type 1 sites share coordination of Ca(2+) with actin, while type 2 sites are wholly contained within gelsolin. This structure of the complex reveals the locations of two novel metal ion-binding sites in domains G5 and G6, respectively. We identify both as type 2 sites. The absolute conservation of the type 2 calcium-ligating residues across the six domains of gelsolin suggests that this site exists in each of the domains. In total, gelsolin has the potential to bind eight calcium ions, two type 1 and six type 2. The function of the type 2 sites is to facilitate structural rearrangements within gelsolin as part of the activation and actin-binding and severing processes. We propose the novel type 2 site in G6 to be the critical site that initiates overall activation of gelsolin by releasing the tail latch that locks calcium-free gelsolin in a conformation unable to bind actin.

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Ribbon diagram of gelsolin domains G4-G6 showing the conformational changes on binding calcium and actin. Actin is shown in cyan, G4 in pink, G5 in green, and G6 is painted orange. The left-hand panel shows G4-G6 in a calcium-free conformation.[2.] The right hand panel depicts the actin and calcium-bound form of G4-G6 as reported here. Ca^2+ in the type 1 site on G4 (gold sphere) is sandwiched between G4 and actin. Calcium ions occupy each of the type 2 sites (gray spheres) in all three gelsolin domains.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Type 1 calcium ion-binding sites. Ca^2+ in type 1 sites in G1 and in G4 is coordinated by Glu167 of actin (cyan). In severin domain 2,[16.] the structure of which was elucidated in the absence of actin, a water molecule (purple) completes the coordination sphere of Ca^2+. This site is characterized by coordination by a conserved aspartic acid at the C-terminal end of the H1 helix and carbonyl oxygen atoms five and seven residues further along the polypeptide chain. Calcium ions are shown as gold spheres.
