Abstract: Many actin structures are nucleated and assembled by the barbed‐end tracking polymerase formin family, including filopodia, focal adhesions, the cytokinetic ring and cell cortex. These structures respond to forces in distinct ways. Formins typically have… read more here.

Abstract: The barbed and pointed ends of the actin filament (F-actin) are the sites of growth/shrinkage and the targets of capping proteins that block subunit exchange, including CapZ at the barbed end and tropomodulin at the… read more here.
