Roles of the actin cytoskeleton in structuring the cortical endoplasmic reticulum.

The actin cytoskeleton is the primary determinant of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dynamics. The ER is a dynamic structure that undergoes constant rearrangement through tubule branching, ring closure and tubule sliding. This rearrangement is thought to be dependent on actin cytoskeleton in yeast. The a...
