Abstract excerpt
Slingshot-1L (SSH1L) is a phosphatase that specifically dephosphorylates and activates cofilin, an actin-severing and -depolymerizing protein. SSH1L binds to and is activated by F-actin in vitro, and co-localizes with F-actin in cultured cells. We examined the F-actin-binding activity, F-actin-mediated phosphatase activation, and subcellular distribution of various mutants of SSH1L. We identified three sites...
