Key result
Ank1 overexpression precluded Myo1 membrane localization and recombinant Ank1 reduced purified Myo1 liposome binding in vitro.
Cytoplasmic sequestration by small ankyrin repeat proteins is a conserved mechanism regulating myosin-1s in endocytosis.
Ank1 may regulate myosin membrane binding in cells; leaves open relevance to cardiovascular cytoskeletal research.
cells, Myo1 dramatically redistributed from endocytic patches to decorate the entire plasma membrane and endocytosis was defective. Biochemical analysis and structural predictions suggested that the Ank1 ankyrin repeats bind the Myo1 lever arm and the Ank1 acidic tail binds the Myo1 TH1 domain to prevent TH1-dependent Myo1 membrane binding. Indeed, Ank1 overexpression precluded Myo1 membrane localization and recombinant Ank1 reduced purified Myo1 liposome binding in vitro. Based on biochemical and cell biological analyses, we propose budding yeast Ank1 and human OSTF1 are functional Ank1 orthologs and that cytoplasmic sequestration by small ankyrin repeat proteins is a conserved mechanism regulating myosin-1s in endocytosis.
