The other side of the coin: Functional and structural versatility of ADF/cofilins
چکیده انگلیسی
Several cellular processes rely on the fine tuning of actin cytoskeleton. A central component in the regulation of this cellular machinery is the ADF-H domain proteins. Despite sharing the same domain, ADF-H domain proteins produce a diverse functional landscape in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Recent findings emphasize that the functional and structural features of these proteins can differ not only between ADF-H families but even within the same family. The structural and evolutional background of this functional diversity is poorly understood. This review focuses on the specific functional characteristics of ADF-H domain proteins and how these features can be linked to structural differences in the ADF-H domain and also to different conformational transitions in actin. In the light of recent discoveries we pay special attention to the ADF/cofilin proteins to find tendencies along which the functional and structural diversification is governed through the evolution.
