Mutations in inverted formin 2 (INF2), a member of the formin family of actin-regulating proteins, have recently been associated with a familial cause of nephrotic syndrome characterized by FSGS. INF2 is a unique formin that can both polymerize and depolymerize actin filaments. How mutations in INF2 lead to disease is unknown. In the present study, we show that three mutations associated with FSGS, E184K, S186P and R218Q, reduce INF2 auto-inhibition and increase association with monomeric actin. Furthermore using a combination of GFP\u2013INF2 expression in human podocytes and GFP-Trap purification coupled with MS we demonstrate that INF2 interacts with profilin 2 and the F-actin capping protein, CapZ \u03b1-1. These interactions are increased by the presence of the disease causing mutations. Since both these proteins are involved in the dynamic turnover and restructuring of the actin cytoskeleton these changes strengthen the evidence that aberrant regulation of actin dynamics underlies the pathogenesis of disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20150252","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,14]],"date-time":"2016-01-14T03:18:54Z","timestamp":1452741534000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Disease causing mutations in inverted formin 2 regulate its binding to G-actin, F-actin capping protein (CapZ \u03b1-1) and profilin 2"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Ruth","family":"Rollason","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Renal Unit, School of Clinical Sciences, University of Bristol, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol BS1 3NY, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Wherlock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Renal Unit, School of Clinical Sciences, University of Bristol, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol BS1 3NY, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenny\u00a0A.","family":"Heath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Renal Unit, School of Clinical Sciences, University of Bristol, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol BS1 3NY, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate\u00a0J.","family":"Heesom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Renal Unit, School of Clinical Sciences, University of Bristol, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol BS1 3NY, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moin\u00a0A.","family":"Saleem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Renal Unit, School of Clinical Sciences, University of Bristol, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol BS1 3NY, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gavin\u00a0I.","family":"Welsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academic Renal Unit, School of Clinical Sciences, University of Bristol, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol BS1 3NY, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111618350482700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneph.2011.151","article-title":"The podocyte cytoskeleton\u2013key to a functioning glomerulus in health and disease","volume":"8","author":"Welsh","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
