Abstract excerpt
The actin cross-linking protein, α-actinin, plays a crucial role in mediating furrow ingression during cytokinesis. However, the mechanism by which its dynamics are regulated during this process is poorly understood. Here we have investigated the role of calcium sensitivity of α-actinin in the regulation of its dynamics by generating a functional calcium-insensitive mutant (EFM). GFP-tagged EFM (EFM-GFP)...
