Abstract excerpt
Formin proteins regulate the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons and also control the activity of the SRF transcription factor through depletion of the G-actin pool. Although the conserved formin homology 2 (FH2) domains of the mDia1 and Bni1 formins can nucleate actin polymerization in vitro, the activity of other FH2 domains and the relationship between actin polymerization and microtubule reorganization have...
