Formin tails act as a switch, inhibiting or enhancing processive actin elongation

K. Bremer, C. Wu, A. Patel, K. He, A. Grunfeld, G. Chanfreau, M. E. Quinlan

The paper investigates how tail domains in formins regulate actin assembly through alternative splicing, showing that some tails inhibit processive elongation while others enhance it.

Spire stimulates nucleation by Cappuccino and binds both ends of actin filaments

A. O. Bradley, C. L. Vizcarra, H. M. Bailey, M. E. Quinlan

The paper shows Spire and Cappuccino collaborate to synergistically nucleate actin filaments in oocytes, with Spire binding both ends of actin filaments.

The Drosophila Formin Fhod Nucleates Actin Filaments

A. A. Patel, Z. A. Oztug Durer, A. P. van Loon, M. E. Quinlan

This study shows that Drosophila Fhod nucleates and bundles actin filaments, unlike mammalian FHOD1 and FHOD3 which do not accelerate actin assembly.

The Neuron Specific Formin Delphilin Nucleates Actin Filaments but Does Not Enhance Elongation

W. T. Silkworth, K. L. Kunes, G. C. Nickel, M. L. Phillips, M. E. Quinlan, C. L. Vizcarra

This study investigates the actin assembly properties of the neuron-specific formin Delphilin, finding it nucleates actin filaments without enhancing elongation and shows preference for specific actin isoforms.
