Abstract: Binding of vinculin to adhesion plaque proteins is restricted by an intramolecular association of vinculin’s head and tail regions. Results of previous work suggest that polyphosphoinositides disrupt this interaction and thereby promote binding of vinculin to both talin and actin. However, data presented here show that phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P2) inhibits the interaction of purified tail domain with F-actin.
