Abstract excerpt
Recent structural studies of β-III-spectrin and related cytoskeletal proteins revealed N-terminal sequences that directly bind actin. These sequences are variable in structure, and immediately precede a conserved actin-binding domain composed of tandem calponin homology domains (CH1 and CH2). Here we investigated in Drosophila the significance of the β-spectrin N-terminus, and explored its functional interaction...
