Mechanisms of CARMIL dimerization, autoinhibition, and capping protein binding
Abstract Capping protein (CP) regulates actin-based motility by blocking monomer exchange at the filament barbed end. Several proteins, including CARMIL, bind CP and allosterically weaken its affinity for the barbed end. CARMIL comprises pleckstrin homology (PH), leucine-rich repeat (LRR), helical dimerization (HD), CP-binding region (CBR), and proline-rich (PR) domains, but their roles in CP regulation remain unclear.
Mechanism of Arp2/3 complex branch disassembly by human Coro7 - Nature Communications
Abstract Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin networks that drive cell motility and intracellular trafficking. Coronins, a family of seven proteins in humans, inhibit Arp2/3 complex in vitro and reduce branch density in cells. Coro7, a distant member of this family, features two β-propeller domains (β1β2) and C-terminal Central-Acidic (CA) domains and remains poorly studied.
Structural-functional characterization of the MIRO1-TRAK1 complex - Nature Communications
Abstract Mitochondrial Rho GTPase (MIRO) features N- and C-terminal GTPase domains (nGTPase and cGTPase) flanking two pairs of EF-hands, and functions as a master scaffold on the outer mitochondrial membrane. It regulates mitochondrial motility by recruiting trafficking kinesin-binding protein (TRAK), which in turn recruits kinesin-1 and dynein-dynactin. The MIRO-TRAK interaction remains incompletely understood.
