Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have suggested a role for actin in translation, but the molecular details of this role are unknown. To elucidate the function(s) of actin in translation, we have studied 25 isogenic, conditional yeast actin mutants. Strikingly, analysis of these mutants indicates that none of those tested have conditional growth defects caused by reduced rates of protein synthesis; and analysis of latrunculin...
