Allostery and molecular stripping mechanism in profilin regulated actin filament growth
Profilin is an actin-sequestering protein and plays key role in regulating the polarized growth of actin filament. Binding of profilin to monomeric actin (G-actin) allows continuous elongation at the barbed end (BE), but not the pointed end, of filament. How G-actin exchanges between the profilin-se...
