  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Cryoelectron microscopy was used to obtain a 3-D image at 2.0 nm resolution of 2-D arrays of smooth muscle alpha-actinin. The reconstruction reveals a well-resolved long central domain with 90 degrees of left-handed twist and near 2-fold symmetry. However, the molecular ends which contain the actin binding and calmodulin-like domains, have different structures oriented approximately 90 degrees to each other. Atomic structures for the alpha-actinin domains were built by homology modeling and assembled into an atomic model. Model building suggests that in the 2-D arrays, the two calponin homology domains that comprise the actin-binding domain have a closed conformation at one end and an open conformation at the other end due to domain swapping. The open and closed conformations of the actin-binding domain suggests flexibility that may underlie Ca2+ regulation. The approximately 90 degrees orientation difference at the molecular ends may underlie alpha-actinin's ability to crosslink actin filaments in nearly any orientation.
