Abstract:Living cells require a dynamic and precisely regulated actin cytoskeleton to carry out normal cellular functions. In addition to well-established actin cytoskeleton regulators, such as nucleators, capping proteins, and bundlers, cells likely have uncharacterized modulators that regulate cytoskeleton dynamics, the detailed functions of which are not yet fully understood. In this study, we conducted biochemical exploration to identify the actin-regulatory activity of Kaptin (KPTN), a protein known to co-localize… Show more
