S-100 protein and annexin II2-p11(2) (calpactin I) act in concert to regulate the state of assembly of GFAP intermediate filaments.

S-100 protein and annexin II2-p11(2) were reported to inhibit and to stimulate the assembly of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), respectively, in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Here we show by a number of experimental approaches that S-100 protein contrasts all the effects of annexin II2-p11(2) on GFAP assembly and, conversely, that annexin II2-p11(2) contrasts the inhibitory effects of S-100 protein on GFAP assembly, in a dose-dependent manner in both cases. Altogether, these data suggest that two specific Ca2+ effectors, i.e., annexin II2-p11(2) and S-100 protein, might regulate the state of assembly of glial filaments in a concerted manner.
