Xenopus laevis actin-depolymerizing factor/cofilin: a phosphorylation-regulated protein essential for development.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Mar 1996

Abe H, Obinata T, Minamide L S, Bamburg J R

Abstract excerpt

Two cDNAs, isolated from a Xenopus laevis embryonic library, encode proteins of 168 amino acids, both of which are 77% identical to chick cofilin and 66% identical to chick actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF), two structurally and functionally related proteins. These Xenopus ADF/cofilins (XADs) differ from each other in 12 residues spread throughout the sequence but do not differ in charge. Purified GST-fusion...
