Formins are conserved actin polymerization machines that have instrumental roles in
controlling rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton and have recently been shown to …

Formin proteins are potent regulators of actin dynamics. Most eukaryotes have multiple
formin isoforms, suggesting diverse cellular roles. Formins are modular proteins, containing …

The regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is a key process for the stability and motility of
eukaryotic cells. Besides the Arp2/3 complex and its nucleation promoting factors, WH2 …

We review recent structural and biophysical studies of the mechanism of action of formins,
proteins that direct the assembly of unbranched actin filaments for cytokinetic contractile …

Formins are a family of ubiquitous, conserved proteins that are implicated in a wide range of
actin-based processes, such as cell polarization, cytokinesis, and cell morphogenesis …

International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology presents current advances and
comprehensive reviews in cell biology--both plant and animal. Articles address structure and …

Formins are a large, evolutionarily old family of cytoskeletal regulators whose roles include
actin cap** and nucleation, as well as modulation of microtubule dynamics. The plant …

We have previously characterized a non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strain, AM-19226,
that lacks the known virulence factors but contains components of a type III secretion system …

We review insights in signaling pathways controlling cell polarization and cytoskeletal
organization during chemotactic movement in Dictyostelium amoebae and neutrophils. We …

Phagocytosis and macropinocytosis are Ras-regulated and actin-driven processes that
depend on the dynamic rearrangements of the plasma membrane that protrudes and …
