Intrinsic capability of budding yeast cofilin to promote turnover of tropomyosin-bound actin filaments.

The ability of actin filaments to function in cell morphogenesis and motility is closely coupled to their dynamic properties. Yeast cells contain two prominent actin structures, cables and patches, both of which are rapidly assembled and disassembled. Although genetic studies have shown that rapid a...
