Abstract excerpt
Neuronal motility relies on actin treadmilling. In addition to regulating cytoskeletal dynamics in the cytoplasm, actin modulates nuclear gene expression. We present a hitherto unappreciated cross talk of actin signaling with gene expression governing neuronal motility. Toward this end, we used a novel approach using mutant actins either favoring (G15S) or inhibiting (R62D) F-actin assembly. Overexpressing these...
