“…For decades, cooperative binding of various ABPs to actin filaments, accompanied by cooperative conformational changes in filaments, has been reported. Such ABPs include myosin II [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], tropomyosin [24][25][26][27], cofilin [4,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], drebrin [42,43], fimbrin [44][45][46], α-actinin [47,48], filamin [49], α-catenin [50], gelsolin [51,52] and formin [53]. In recent years, the interaction between different ABPs via conformational changes of actin filaments, including a mutually exclusive interaction, has also been reported.…”
