Abstract
Marine macrolide toxins of trisoxazole family target actin with high affinity and specificity and have promising pharmacological properties. We present X-ray structures of actin in complex with two members of this family, kabiramide C and jaspisamide A, at a resolution of 1.45 and 1.6 A, respectively. The structures reveal the absolute stereochemistry of these toxins and demonstrate that their trisoxazole ring interacts with actin subdomain 1 while the aliphatic side chain is inserted into the hydrophobic cavity between actin subdomains 1 and 3. The binding site is essentially the same as the one occupied by the actin-capping domain of the gelsolin superfamily of proteins. The structural evidence suggests that actin filament severing and capping by these toxins is also analogous to that of gelsolin. Consequently, these macrolides may be viewed as small molecule biomimetics of an entire class of actin-binding proteins.

Figure 2. Trisoxazole-containing macrolide toxins bind to the same site on actin as gelsolin domain 1. (a) The structure of the actin -jaspisamide A complex in two orientations where actin is depicted in a ribbon representation and the toxin is shown as a space-filling model in red. Actin subdomains 1 -4 are labeled. (b) A space-filling representation of the residues on actin that interact with kabiramide C (left) and gelsolin domain 1 (right). The coordinates for gelsolin domain 1 were obtained from the RCSB (PDB entry 1EQY)5, 6. (c) Overlay of kabiramide C (red, space-filling representation) and gelsolin domain 1 (blue) based on the superposition of the actin in their respective complexes. For gelsolin domain 1 the actin-binding helix, Ser70 -Leu88, is shown in space-filling representation. (d) Kabiramide C binding site on actin. Toxin is shown as ball and stick representation in cyan; labeled amino acid residues contacting kabiramide C are shown in CPK colors as a space-filling model.

Figure 3. Kabiramide C binding to the actin filament may result in steric clashes with the neighboring actin subunit. Kabiramide C in G-actin-bound conformation (red) is superimposed onto the model for F-actin31, 33. For clarity, four actin subunits are depicted where the filament axis is vertical with the barbed end at the bottom. The two in the front, shown in blue and green, reveal the location of kabiramide between longitudinally contacting actin monomers.
