Actin is a filamentous protein, which together with other cytoskeletal elements forms a dynamic network of filaments that provide both structural support, as well as critical functional capabilities, to the cell.
Actin allows vital actions to be performed by assembling and disassembling itself spontaneously, continually and rapidly in the form of filaments that organize themselves and form networks of parallel bundles or intertwined meshes (known as lamellar networks).
Immediately adjacent to the cell membrane is a network of protein cables or filaments known as the actin cortex.
Actin, the protein that makes up the cytoskeleton, can form long filaments that grow in one direction and networks of filaments.
Actin filaments form different polymer networks with versatile mechanical properties that depend on their spatial organization and the presence of cross-linkers.
On the basis of analysis of this system, we proposed a model for filopodial formation in which actin filaments of a preexisting dendritic network are elongated by inhibition of capping and subsequently cross-linked into bundles by fascin.
