Abstract excerpt
Nonmuscle cell motility requires marked changes in the consistency and shape of the peripheral cytoplasm. These changes are regulated by a gel-sol transformation of the actin filament network, and actin filament-severing proteins are responsible for network solation. Macrophage Cap G, unlike all other proteins in the gelsolin family, caps but does not sever actin filaments. Two amino acid stretches in Cap G...
