Abi mutants in Dictyostelium reveal specific roles for the SCAR/WAVE complex in cytokinesis.

Current biology : CB - 12 Feb 2008

Pollitt Alice Y, Insall Robert H

Abstract excerpt

Actin polymerization drives multiple cell processes involving movement and shape change. SCAR/WAVE proteins connect signaling to actin polymerization through the activation of the Arp2/3 complex. SCAR/WAVE is normally found in a complex with four other proteins: PIR121, Nap1, Abi2,and HSPC300 (Fi...
