Abstract excerpt
Formins are actin-organizing proteins that are involved in cytokinesis and cell polarity. In the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, there are more than 20 formin homologues, all of which have unknown roles. In this study, we characterize specific cellular and molecular functions of the Arabidopsis formin AtFH5. Despite the low identity of AtFH5 to yeast and mammalian formins, the AtFH5 protein interacts with the barbed...
