After attaching to the cell membrane of its target, it releases a protein that enters the cell, where it communicates with actin — a protein that helps maintain the cell's structure.

Here, in fission yeast the actin ring was found to be required to generate late - mitotic microtubular structures located at the division plane, and these in turn maintained the medial position of the actin ring.

Pai and Kabsch were part of a group that collaborated to solve the first actin structure, a challenge because muscle proteins polymerize and don't form crystals.

A final note on the fate of amino acids - once absorbed, amino acids can be used directly by cells for the synthesis of new enzymes or new cell structures, for the building of structural proteins (such as actin and myosin in the muscles), for the synthesis of OTHER amino acids (via transamination), or used for energy.
