PROFILIN I FROM ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA
OverviewOverview
BACKGROUND: Profilins are small eukaryotic proteins involved in modulating, the assembly of actin microfilaments in the cytoplasm. They are able to, bind both phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and poly-L-proline (PLP), and thus play a critical role in signaling pathways. Plant profilins are, of interest because immunological cross-reactivity between pollen and, human profilin may be the cause of hay fever and broad allergies to, pollens. RESULTS: The determination of the Arabidopsis thaliana profilin, isoform I structure, using multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) to, obtain structure-factor phases, is reported here. The structure of, Arabidopsis profilin is similar to that of previously determined profilin, structures. Conserved amino acid residues in profilins from plants, ... [(full description)]
