Abstract

Profilin is an actin monomer-binding protein which stimulates actin polymerization. Recent studies have revealed that profilin interacts with VASP, Mena, Bni1p, Bnr1p, and mDia, all of which have the proline-rich domain. Here, we isolated three profilin-binding proteins from rat brain cytosol by glutathioneS-transferase-profilin affinity column chromatography and identified them as Mena, drebrin, and gephyrin. These proteins had a proline-rich domain and directly interacted with profilin.
