Abstract excerpt
Tropomyosin and cofilin are involved in the regulation of actin filament dynamic polymerization and depolymerization. Binding of cofilin changes actin filaments structure, leading to their severing and depolymerization. Non-muscle tropomyosin isoforms were shown before to differentially regulate the activity of cofilin 1; products of TPM1 gene stabilized actin filaments, but products of TPM3 gene promoted...
