The fission yeast cytokinesis formin Cdc12p is a barbed end actin filament capping protein gated by profilin.

The Journal of cell biology - 9 Jun 2003

Abstract excerpt

Cytokinesis in most eukaryotes requires the assembly and contraction of a ring of actin filaments and myosin II. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe requires the formin Cdc12p and profilin (Cdc3p) early in the assembly of the contractile ring. The proline-rich formin homology (FH) 1 domai...
