| Sumario: | The actin filament severing and capping protein gelsolin plays an important role in modulation of actin filament dynamics by influencing the number of actin filament ends. During apoptosis, gelsolin becomes constitutively active due to cleavage by caspase-3. In non-apoptotic cells gelsolin is activated by the binding of Ca2+. This activated form of gelsolin binds to, but is not a folding substrate of the molecular chaperone CCT/TRiC. Here we demonstrate that in vitro, gelsolin is protected from cleavage by caspase-3 in the presence of CCT. Cryoelectron microscopy and single particle 3D reconstruction of the CCT:gelsolin complex reveals that gelsolin is located in the interior of the chaperonin cavity, with a placement distinct from that of the obligate CCT folding substrates actin and tubulin. In cultured mouse melanoma B16F1 cells, gelsolin co-localises with CCT upon stimulation of actin dynamics at peripheral regions during lamellipodia formation. These data indicate that localised sequestration of gelsolin by CCT may provide spatial control of actin filament dynamics. |
