Structural polymorphism of the actin-espin system: a prototypical system of filaments and linkers in stereocilia.

Physical review letters - 2 Feb 2007

Purdy Kirstin R, Bartles James R, Wong Gerard C L

Abstract excerpt

We examine the interaction between cytoskeletal F-actin and espin 3A, a prototypical actin bundling protein found in sensory cell microvilli, including ear cell stereocilia. Espin induces twist distortions in F-actin as well as facilitates bundle formation. Mutations in one of the two F-actin bin...
