Opening of tandem calponin homology domains regulates their affinity for F-actin.

The paper describes conformational changes of tandem CH domains of human alpha-actinin which are needed for its binding to F-actin. This is an important contribution to the understanding of the mechanism of binding of alpha-actinin to actin cytoskeleton since the conformational changes lead to exposure and/or changes in the accessible surface of alpha-actinin which in turn affects the binding other proteins.
