Phorbol ester induces actin cytoskeleton rearrangements in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Calponin and SM22 {alpha} are major components of differentiated smooth muscle and potential regulators of actin cytoskeleton interactions. Here we show that actin fibers decorated with h1 CaP remain stable, whereas SM22 {alpha}-decorated actin bundles undergo rapid reorganization into podosomes within 30 min of PDBu exposure. Ectopic expression of GFP {alpha}-actinin had no effect on the stability of the actin cytoskeleton and {alpha}-actinin was transported rapidly into PDBu-induced podosomes. Our results demonstrate the involvement of CaP and SM22 {alpha} in coordinating the balance between stabilization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton in mammalian smooth muscle. We provide evidence for the existence of two functionally distinct actin filament populations and introduce a molecular mechanism for the stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton by the unique actin-binding interface formed by calponin family-specific CLIK23 repeats.


Abbreviations used: CaP, calponin; F-actin, filamentous actin; ABD, actin binding domain; PDBu, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate; TPA, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate; GFP, green fluorescent protein.
