Actin'g against the Ball and Chain.

Abstract excerpt

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 13 is a rare autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disease induced by mutations in the voltage-dependent Kv3.3 potassium channel. Recently in Cell, Zhang et al. (2016) provide new insights into how Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerization modulates both Kv3.3 activity and its ability to stimulate actin polymerization via Hax-1.
