Abstract excerpt
Tumor initiation and progression are accompanied by complex changes in the cytoarchitecture that at the cellular level involve remodeling of the cytoskeleton. We report on the impact of a mutant β-actin (G245D-actin) on cell structure and multicellular assembly properties. To appreciate the effects of the Gly245Asp substitution on the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, we examined the polymerization...
