Abstract excerpt
A simple procedure for the isolation of profilin mutants having a reduced capacity to bind poly(L-proline) is used to isolate two mutants of human profilin I, W3N and H133S. Binding of the mutants to poly(L-proline), actin, and phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) was studied. Both mutations abolished the poly(L-proline)-binding activity of profilin. This suggests that the arrangement of the N- and...
