Many fundamental cellular processes such as division, polarization, endocytosis, and
motility require the assembly, maintenance, and disassembly of filamentous actin (F-actin) …

Cells precisely control the formation of dynamic actin cytoskeleton networks to coordinate
fundamental processes, including motility, division, endocytosis and polarization. To support …

Actin is the most abundant protein in most eukaryotic cells. It is highly conserved and
participates in more protein-protein interactions than any known protein. These properties …

Eukaryotic cells generate a diversity of actin filament networks in a common cytoplasm to
optimally perform functions such as cell motility, cell adhesion, endocytosis and cytokinesis …

ABSTRACT Globular (G)-actin, the actin monomer, assembles into polarized filaments that
form networks that can provide structural support, generate force and organize the cell …

Background The close subcellular proximity of different actin filament crosslinking proteins
suggests that these proteins may cooperate to organize F-actin structures to drive complex …

The high diversity of cytoskeletal actin structures is accomplished by myriads of actin binding
proteins (ABPs). Depending on its concentration, even a single type of ABP can induce …

The organization of individual actin filaments into higher-order structures is controlled by
actin-binding proteins (ABPs). Although the biological significance of the ABPs is well …

The actin cytoskeleton supports a vast number of cellular processes in nonmuscle cells. It is
well established that the organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton are controlled …

The actin cytoskeleton is organized into diverse meshworks and bundles that support many
aspects of cell physiology. Understanding the self-assembly of these actin-based structures …
