Cell polarity: following formin function.

Current biology : CB - 8 Jan 2002

Sawin Kenneth E

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of a novel fission yeast formin, for3p, leads to marked changes in both the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton, as well as a surprising asymmetric pattern of cell growth. At the same time, new work in budding yeast implicates formins directly in actin filament assembly.
