Cofilin is the major mediator of actin filament turnover in vivo. However, the molecular mechanism of cofilin recruitment to actin networks during dynamic actin-mediated processes in living cells and ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...

Over the last several years the identification and functional characterization of the motor proteins actin and myosin in the nucleus has initiated a change in the view of nuclear processes. It is now ...

Actin is a highly abundant protein that controls the shape and movement of all our cells. Actin achieves this by assembling into filaments, one actin molecule at a time. The proteins of the formin ...

• The role of the actin cytoskeleton in plant development is intimately linked to its dynamic behavior. Therefore it is essential to continue refining methods for studying actin organization in living ...
