Abstract

Cytoskeletal dynamics are important for efficient function of the secretory pathway. ADP-ribosylation factor, ARF1, triggers vesicle coat assembly and, in concert with Cdc42, regulates actin polymerization and molecular motor-based motility. Drebrin and mammalian Abp1 (mAbp1) are actin-binding proteins found previously to bind to Golgi membranes in an ARF1-dependent manner in vitro. Despite sharing homology through two shared actin binding domains, drebrin and mAbp1 have different subcellular localization and bind to distinct actin structures on the Golgi apparatus. We find that the actin-depolymerizing factor homology (ADFH) and charged/helical actin binding domains of drebrin and mAbp1 are sufficient for regulated binding to Golgi membranes and subcellular localization. We have used mutant proteins and chimeras between mAbp1 and drebrin to identify motifs that direct targeting. We find that a linker region between the ADFH and charged/helical domains confers Golgi binding properties to mAbp1. mAbp1 binds to a specific actin pool through its ADFH/linker domain that is not bound by drebrin. Drebrin localization to the cell surface was found to involve motifs within the charged/helical domain. Our results indicate that targeting of these proteins is directed through multiple distinct interactions with the actin cytoskeleton. The mechanisms for selective recruitment of mAbp1 and drebrin to Golgi membranes indicate how actin-based structures are able to select specific actin-binding proteins and, thus, carry out multiple different functions within cells.
