title: Probing phosphatidylinositolphosphates and adenosinenucleotides on talin nucleated actin polymerization.
abstract: We have investigated the binding of PI, PIP and PIP2 to talin and the effect of phosphoinositides and adenosinenucleotides on talin-induced actin polymerization. At physiological salt concentrations, talin coprecipitates with liposomes when containing phosphoinositides but not when containing PI. The nucleating effect of talin as reflected by a twofold increase of fluorescence during the polymerization of actin labelled with NBD is not inhibited by phosphoinositides. The polymerization of ADP-actin versus ATP-actin was investigated in the presence and absence of talin by NBD fluorescence. ADP-actin nucleation induced by talin is comparably efficient as with ATP-actin. These experimental findings in summary have implications when evaluating the role of talin during cell activation.
