In recent in vitro experiments, it has been demonstrated that the 47-kDa fragment of the talin molecule and the 32-kDa fragment of the vinculin molecule interact with acidic phospholipids. By using a computer analysis method, we determined the hydrophobic and amphipathic stretches of these fragments and, by applying a purpose-written matrix method, we ascertained the molecular amphipathic structure of alpha-helices. Calculations for the 47-kDa mouse talin fragment (residues 1–433; NH2-terminal region) suggest specific interactions of residues 21–39, 287–342, and 385–406 with acidic phospholipids and a general lipid-binding domain for mouse talin (primary amino acid sequence 385–401) and for Dictyostelium talin (primary amino acid sequence 348–364). Calculations for the 32-kDa chicken embryo vinculin fragment (residues 858–1066; COOH-terminal region) and from nematode vinculin alignment indicate for chicken embryo vinculin residues 935–978 and 1020–1040 interactions with acidic phospholipids. Experimental confirmation has been given for vinculin (residues 916–970), and future detailed experimental analyses are now needed to support the remaining computational data.
