Ponticulin is the major high affinity link between the plasma membrane and the cortical actin network in Dictyostelium.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Sept 1994

Hitt A L, Hartwig J H, Luna E J

Abstract excerpt

Interactions between the plasma membrane and underlying actin-based cortex have been implicated in membrane organization and stability, the control of cell shape, and various motile processes. To ascertain the function of high affinity actin-membrane associations, we have disrupted by homologous recombination the gene encoding ponticulin, the major high affinity actin-membrane link in Dictyostelium discoideum...
