Cofilin Changes the Twist of F-Actin: Implications for Actin Filament Dynamics and Cellular Function

Cofilin is an actin depolymerizing protein found widely distributed in animals and plants. We have used electron cryomicroscopy and helical reconstruction to identify its binding site on actin filaments. Cofilin binds filamentous (F)-actin cooperatively by bridging two longitudinally associated acti...
