Ponticulin plays a role in the positional stabilization of pseudopods.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Dec 1995

Shutt D C, Wessels D, Wagenknecht K, Chandrasekhar A, Hitt A L, Luna E J, Soll D R

Abstract excerpt

Ponticulin is a 17-kD glycoprotein that represents a major high affinity link between the plasma membrane and the cortical actin network of Dictyostelium. To assess the role of ponticulin in pseudopod extension and retraction, the motile behavior of two independently generated mutants lacking ponticulin was analyzed using computer-assisted two- and three-dimensional motion analysis systems. More than half of the...
