Abstract
Cyclase-associated protein (CAP or Srv2p) is a modular actin monomer binding protein that directly regulates filament dynamics and has been implicated in a number of complex developmental and morphological processes, including mRNA localization and the establishment of cell polarity. The crystal structure of the C-terminal dimerization and actin monomer binding domain (C-CAP) reveals a highly unusual dimer, composed of monomers possessing six coils of right-handed beta-helix flanked by antiparallel beta-strands. Domain swapping, involving the last two strands of each monomer, results in the formation of an extended dimer with an extensive interface. This structural and biochemical characterization provides new insights into the organization and potential mechanistic properties of the multiprotein assemblies that integrate dynamic actin processes into the overall physiology of the cell. An unanticipated finding is that the unique tertiary structure of the C-CAP monomer provides a structural model for a wide range of molecules, including RP2 and cofactor C, proteins involved in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa and tubulin maturation, respectively, as well as several uncharacterized proteins that exhibit very diverse domain organizations. Thus, the unusual right-handed beta-helical fold present in C-CAP appears to support a wide range of biological functions.

Full text Abstract
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. The carboxyl terminus of both CAP and MCH1 binds actin. A, full-length MCH1 and CAP bind actin. Lysates from cap cells (SKN50) expressing either Myc-tagged CAP or Myc-tagged MCH1 were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Myc antibody (9E10). Specific protein interactions were blocked by the addition of excess Myc peptide (50 µg). Immune complexes were resolved on SDS-acylamide gels and transferred to nylon membranes. Immunoblots were probed with an anti-actin monoclonal antibody (20 µg/ml) (Boehringer Mannheim). B, the carboxyl-terminal domain of CAP and MCH1 binds actin. Lysates from cap cells expressing various Myc-tagged domains of CAP, or the carboxyl-terminal of MCH1, were subjected to immunoprecipitation. Immunoblots were incubated with an anti-actin monoclonal antibody (20 µg/ml). Antigen detection was performed by ECL chemiluminescent assay.
Figure 5.
Fig. 5. The actin binding and dimerization functions of CAP are mediated by separate domains. A, the last 27 amino acids of CAP are essential for actin binding. cap yeast cells (SKN32) bearing plasmids expressing HA-CAP (YCpADH-HACAP) and Myc-CAP1-498 (pADH-mycCAP 11) were grown to log phase, prior to harvesting, and lysate preparation. B, CAP1-498 forms homodimers. cap yeast cells (SKN32) bearing plasmids expressing HA-CAP1-498 (pTADH-HACAP 11) and Myc-CAP1-498 (pADH-mycCAP 11) were grown to log phase, prior to harvesting and lysate preparation. Immunoprecipitations were carried out, as described under ``Experimental Procedures,'' using either anti-HA ascites (12CA5) or anti-Myc antisera (9E10). Specific protein-protein interactions were blocked by the addition of either excess HA (30 µg) or Myc peptide (30 µg) to immunoprecipitation reactions (+peptide). Detection of tagged CAP molecules or actin was accomplished using the appropriate monoclonal antibodies (anti-actin (6 µg/ml), anti-HA ascites fluid (1:5000), and anti-Myc (1:5000)). Lanes marked TCL contained 75 µg of total cell lysate. Antigen detection was performed by ECL chemiluminescent assay.
