The functionally distinct fission yeast formins have specific actin-assembly properties.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Oct 2011

Scott Bonnie J, Neidt Erin M, Kovar David R

Abstract excerpt

Fission yeast expresses three formins required for distinct actin cytoskeletal processes: Cdc12 (cytokinesis), For3 (polarization), and Fus1 (mating). We propose that in addition to differential regulation, key actin-assembly properties tailor formins for a particular role. In direct comparison to the well-studied Cdc12, we report the first in vitro characterization of the actin-assembly properties of For3 and...
