Abstract excerpt
The Arp2/3 complex is an essential component of the yeast actin cytoskeleton that localizes to cortical actin patches. We have isolated and characterized a temperature-sensitive mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe arp2 that displays a defect in cortical actin patch distribution. The arp2(+) gene encodes an essential actin-related protein that colocalizes with actin at the cortical actin patch. Sucrose gradient...
