Structural investigation of gelsolin superfamily members

We expressed three recombinant proteins in E. coli and purified them for analysis. Human gelsolin fragment G2-G3 retains the ability of intact gelsolin to bind to and co-sediment with filamentous actin. Tryptophan fluorescence intensity from G2-G3 is Ca²⁺-sensitive, increasing with Ca²⁺ concentratio...
