Pxl1p, a paxillin-related protein, stabilizes the actomyosin ring during cytokinesis in fission yeast.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Apr 2008

Ge Wanzhong, Balasubramanian Mohan K

Abstract excerpt

Paxillins are a family of conserved LIM domain-containing proteins that play important roles in the function and integrity of the actin cytoskeleton. Although paxillins have been extensively characterized by cell biological and biochemical approaches, genetic studies are relatively scarce. Here, we identify and characterize a paxillin-related protein Pxl1p in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Pxl1p is...
