Abstract excerpt
We identified a novel actin-modulating protein Stg 1 in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Stg 1 is similar to mammalian SM22/transgelin, and biochemical experiments showed that Stg 1 crosslinked F-actin. Microscopic observation suggested that Stg 1 was a component of actin patch. Overexpression of Stg 1 caused a defect in cytokinesis by suppressing the formation of a contractile ring and formation of...
