Spa2 remodels ADP-actin via molecular condensation under glucose starvation

Actin nucleotide-dependent actin remodeling is essential to orchestrate signal transduction and cell adaptation. Rapid energy starvation requires accurate and timely reorganization of the actin network. Despite distinct treadmilling mechanisms of ADP- and ATP-actin filaments, their filament structur...

description Actin nucleotide-dependent actin remodeling is essential to orchestrate signal transduction and cell adaptation. Rapid energy starvation requires accurate and timely reorganization of the actin network. Despite distinct treadmilling mechanisms of ADP- and ATP-actin filaments, their filament structures are nearly identical. How other actin-binding proteins regulate ADP-actin filament assembly is unclear. Here, we show that Spa2 which is the polarisome scaffold protein specifically remodels ADP-actin upon energy starvation in budding yeast. Spa2 triggers ADP-actin monomer nucleation rapidly through a dimeric core of Spa2 (aa 281-535). Concurrently, the intrinsically disordered region (IDR, aa 1-281) guides Spa2 undergoing phase separation and wetting on the surface of ADP-G-actin-derived F-actin and bundles the filaments. Both ADP-actin-specific nucleation and bundling activities of Spa2 are actin D-loop dependent. The IDR and nucleation core of Spa2 are evolutionarily conserved by coexistence in the fungus kingdom, suggesting a universal adaptation mechanism in the fungal kingdom in response to glucose starvation, regulating ADP-G-actin and ADP-F-actin with high nucleotide homogeneity.
