Roles of a Fimbrin and an α-Actinin-like Protein in Fission Yeast Cell Polarization and Cytokinesis
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic cells contain many actin-interacting proteins, including the alpha-actinins and the fimbrins, both of which have actin cross-linking activity in vitro. We report here the identification and characterization of both an alpha-actinin-like protein (Ain1p) and a fimbrin (Fim1p) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Ain1p localizes to the actomyosin-containing medial ring in an F-actin-dependent...
