Ligands: SO4 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum Function [ABP1_YEAST] Regulates ARP2/3 complex-mediated actin assembly. Recruits ARP2/3 complex to sides of preexisting actin filaments, which may promote nucleation or stabilization of filament branches. Binds to actin filaments, but not actin monomers. Actin binding is required for ARP2/3 complex activation. May also have a role in linking the actin cytoskeleton to endocytosis. recruits components of the endocytotic machinery to cortical actin patches, known sites of endocytosis.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Abp1p is an actin-binding protein that plays a central role in the organization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae actin cytoskeleton. By a combination of two-hybrid and phage-display approaches, we have identified six new ligands of the Abp1-SH3 domain. None of these SH3-mediated novel interactions was detected in recent all genome high throughput protein interaction projects. Here we show that the SH3-mediated association of Abp1p with the Ser/Thr kinases Prk1p and Ark1p is essential for their localization to actin cortical patches. The Abp1-SH3 domain has a rather unusual binding specificity, because its target peptides contain the tetrapentapeptide +XXXPXXPX+PXXL with positive charges flanking the polyproline core on both sides. Here we present the structure of the Abp1-SH3 domain solved at 1.3-A resolution. The peptide-binding pockets in the SH3 domain are flanked by two acidic residues that are uncommon at those positions in the SH3 domain family. We have shown by site-directed mutagenesis that one of these negatively charged side chains may be the key determinant for the preference for non-classical ligands.
