Abstract excerpt
The actin filament system is essential for many cellular functions, including shape, motility, cytokinesis, intracellular trafficking, and tissue organization. Tropomyosins (Tms) are rod-like components of most actin filaments that differentially affect their stability and flexibility. The Tm gene family consists of four genes, alphaTm, betaTm, gammaTm (Tm5 NM, where "NM" indicates "nonmuscle"), and deltaTm...
