Abstract excerpt
We isolated frizzy1 (fiz1), a novel dominant actin mutant from Arabidopsis. In the fiz1 mutant, Glu272 was substituted with lysine in the hydrophobic loop of ACT8, which is very important for the polymerization. Live imaging of actin filaments revealed that the fiz1 mutation induced fragmentation...
