Multicomponent depolymerization of actin filament pointed ends by cofilin and cyclase-associated protein depends upon filament age

E. M. Towsif, B. A. Miller, H. Ulrichs, S. Shekhar

This study shows cofilin and CAP promote depolymerization of ADP-Pi actin filaments, though at lower rates than ADP filaments, suggesting new pathways for actin filament disassembly.

Cyclase-associated protein is a pro-formin anti-capping processive depolymerase of actin barbed and pointed ends

E. M. Towsif, S. Shekhar

This study reveals that CAP is a processive depolymerase of actin filaments, removing subunits from both barbed and pointed ends, and interacts with formin and capping protein.
