The effect of Arabidopsis thaliana ADF1 and human ADF on the number of filaments in F-actin solutions has been examined using a seeded polymerization assay. ADF did not sever filaments in a catalytic fashion, but decreased the steady-state length distribution of actin filaments in correlation with its effect on actin dynamics. The increase in filament number was modest as compared with the large increase in filament turnover. ADF did not decrease the length of filaments shorter than 1 µm. ADF promoted the rapid turnover of gelsolin-capped filaments in a manner dependent on the number of pointed ends. To explain these results, we propose that, as a consequence of the cooperative binding of ADF to F-actin, two populations of energetically different filaments coexist in solution pending a flux of subunits from one to the other. The ADF-decorated filaments depolymerize rapidly from their pointed ends, while undecorated filaments polymerize. ADF also promotes rapid turnover of gelsolin-capped filaments in the presence of the pointed end capper Arp2/3 complex. It is shown that the Arp2/3 complex steadily generates new barbed ends in solutions of gelsolin-capped filaments, which represents an important aspect of its function in actin-based motility.
