Abstract excerpt
α-Actinin is an essential actin cross-linker involved in cytoskeletal organization and dynamics. The molecular conformation of α-actinin's actin-binding domain (ABD) regulates its association with actin and thus mutations in this domain can lead to severe pathogenic conditions. A point mutation at lysine 255 in human α-actinin-4 to glutamate increases the binding affinity resulting in stiffer cytoskeletal...
