Abstract

Background: Shape-function studies are necessary to design better therapeutic alternatives of the plasma gelsolin. Results: N-terminal fragment 30-161 is the smallest segment with F-actin depolymerization potential, and G1-G3 can function independent of Ca2+ ions or low pH. Conclusion: The g2-g3 linker plays a role in imparting pH/Ca2+ insensitivity to G1-G3. Significance: We provide the first evidence that g2-g3 linker regulates mobility of the G1 domain.
