Abstract excerpt
Actin dynamics is fundamental for neurite development; monomer depolymerization from pointed ends is rate-limiting in actin treadmilling. Tropomodulins (Tmod) make up a family of actin pointed end-capping proteins. Of the four known isoforms, Tmod1-Tmod3 are expressed in brain cells. We investigated the role of Tmod's C-terminal (LRR) domain in the formation of neurite-like processes by overexpressing Tmod1 and...
