title = "Actin dynamics: Tropomyosin provides stability",
abstract = "Tropomyosin stabilizes actin filaments, while ADF/cofilin promotes their disassembly. These two proteins compete with each other for binding to the actin filament, providing a critical balance for actin assembly in vivo.",
author = "Cooper, {John A.}",
note = "Funding Information: We are in a time rich with discoveries of how actin filaments assemble and disassemble in cells, and how these processes are controlled in response to cell signals. Future experiments with biochemical reconstitutions of increasing complexity, ultrastructural studies of filament architecture, and finer temporal and spatial resolution in control of the activity of proteins in cells will produce more new and exciting insights. Lastly, I would like to thank Louise Cramer and Sarah Hitchcock-DeGregori for communicating unpublished results and reading the manuscript, and to acknowledge support by NIH grant GM38542.",
