PMID- 14983521 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20041109 LR - 20210108 IS - 0886-1544 (Print) IS - 0886-1544 (Linking) VI - 58 IP - 1 DP - 2004 May TI - Palladin is a novel binding partner for Ena/VASP family members. PG - 17-29 AB - Palladin is an actin-associated protein that contains proline-rich motifs within its amino-terminal sequence that are similar to motifs found in zyxin, vinculin, and the Listeria protein ActA. These motifs are known to be potential binding sites for the Vasodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein (VASP). Here, we demonstrate that palladin is an additional direct binding partner for VASP, by using co-immunoprecipitation and blot overlay techniques with both endogenous palladin and recombinant myc-tagged palladin. These results show that VASP binds to full-length palladin and also to the amino-terminal half of palladin, where the polyproline motifs are located. Using a synthetic peptide array, two discrete binding sites for VASP were identified within palladin's proline-rich amino-terminal domain. Using double-label immunofluorescence staining of fully-spread and actively-spreading fibroblasts, the extent of co-localization of palladin and VASP was explored. These proteins were found to strongly co-localize along stress fibers, and partially co-localize in focal adhesions, lamellipodia, and focal complexes. These results suggest that the recently described actin-associated protein palladin may play an important role in recruiting VASP to sites of actin filament growth, anchorage, and crosslinking.
