Calcium regulation of actin crosslinking is important for function of the actin cytoskeleton in Dictyostelium.

Journal of cell science - 1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

The actin cytoskeleton is sensitive to changes in calcium, which affect contractility, actin-severing proteins, actin-crosslinking proteins and calmodulin-regulated enzymes. To dissect the role of calcium control on the activity of individual proteins from effects of calcium on other processes, calcium-insensitive forms of these proteins were prepared and introduced into living cells to replace a...
