We have previously reported the isolation of three Zea mays genes that encode actin-depolymerising factors/ cofilins, a family of low molecular weight actin regulating proteins. In the present study, we have characterised one of these proteins, ZmADF3. We report that ZmADF3 binds G-actin with a 1:1 stoichiometry, and that the interaction with F-actin is pH-sensitive. ZmADF3 co-sediments mainly with F-actin at pH 6.0 and mainly with G-actin at pH 9.0. This response is more similar to that of vertebrate cofilin and ADF than to that of Acanthamoeba actophorin which, although more similar in primary sequence to ZmADF3, is not pH sensitive. However, ZmADF3 requires a more basic environment to depolymerise actin relative to either vertebrate ADF or cofilin. Filaments decorated with ZmADF3 at low pH are very rapidly depolymerised upon raising the pH, which is consistent with a severing mechanism for the disruption of actin filaments. Also, we demonstrate that ZmADF3 binds specific polyphosphatidylinositol lipids, especially phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), and we show that this binding inhibits the actin-depolymerising function of ZmADF3. Moreover, we show that a consequence of ZmADF3 binding PIP2 is the inhibition of the activity of polyphosphatidylinositol specific plant phospholipase C, indicating the possibility of reciprocal modulation of this major signalling pathway and the actin cytoskeleton.
