Hybrid Structural Analysis of the Arp2/3 Regulator Arpin Identifies Its Acidic Tail as a Primary Binding Epitope

Abstract

Arpin is a newly discovered regulator of actin polymerization at the cell leading edge, which steers cell migration by exerting a negative control on the Arp2/3 complex. Arpin proteins have an acidic tail homologous to the acidic motif of the VCA domain of nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs). This tail is predicted to compete with the VCA of NPFs for binding to the Arp2/3 complex, thereby mitigating activation and/or tethering of the complex to sites of actin branching. Here, we investigated the structure of full-length Arpin using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering, and of its acidic tail in complex with an ankyrin repeats domain using X-ray crystallography. The data were combined in a hybrid model in which the acidic tail extends from the globular core as a linear peptide and forms a primary epitope that is readily accessible in unbound Arpin and suffices to tether Arpin to interacting proteins with high affinity.
