Tropomyosin and cofilin are involved in the regulation of actin filament dynamic polymerization and depolymerization. Binding of cofilin changes actin filaments structure, leading to their severing and depolymerization. Non-muscle tropomyosin isoforms were shown before to differentially regulate the activity of cofilin 1; products of TPM1 gene stabilized actin filaments, but products of TPM3 gene promoted cofilin-dependent severing and depolymerization. Here, conformational changes at the longitudinal and lateral interface between actin subunits resulting from tropomyosin and cofilin 1 binding were studied using skeletal actin and yeast wild type and mutant Q41C and S265C actins. Cross-linking of F-actin and fluorescence changes in F-actin labeled with acrylodan at Cys41 (in D-loop) or Cys265 (in H-loop) showed that tropomyosin isoforms differentially regulated cofilin-induced conformational rearrangements at longitudinal and lateral filament interfaces. Tryptic digestion of F–Mg-actin confirmed the differences between tropomyosin isoforms in their regulation of cofilin-dependent changes at actin-actin interfaces. Changes in the fluorescence of AEDANS attached to C-terminal Cys of actin, as well as FRET between Trp residues in actin subdomain 1 and AEDANS, did not show differences in the conformation of the C-terminal segment of F-actin in the presence of different tropomyosins ± cofilin 1. Therefore, actin's D- and H-loop are the sites involved in regulation of cofilin activity by tropomyosin isoforms.
