A novel F-actin-binding motif consisting of an α-helix hairpin from a Legionella pneumophila lysine fatty acyltransferase has the potential to be developed as an F-actin probe.

Researchers have visualized at the molecular level how formins bind to the ends of actin filaments. This allowed them to uncover how formins mediate the addition of new actin molecules to a growing ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin filaments that provide pushing forces to drive cellular processes such as lamellipodial protrusion 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 ...
