## Abstract Actin filaments could play a role in regulation of cell swelling by two distinct mechanisms. One is by a tensile mechanism involving the coordinated interaction of actin and actinβassociated proteins with all plasma membrane domains. The actinβmembrane linkage would restrain cell swelli
The cytochalasins (CE, CD, CB and H,CB) inhibit numerous cellular processes which require the interaction of actin with other structural and contractile proteins. In this report we describe the effects of the cytochalasins on the viscosity and morphology of muscle and platelet actin. The cytochalasi
Kinetic analysis has provided a detailed quantitative description of the mechanism of actin polymerization as well as the methods to analyze the mechanisms of action of actin-binding proteins. In Acanthamoeba, five different proteins regulate the pool of monomers available for polymerization, cap th
The actin cytoskeleton is an intracellular structure, which is involved in the onset and control of cell shape and function. In order for this relevant network to control its own and thus cell volume, specific interactions between the actin cytoskeleton and ion channel regulation controlling intrace
We study the polymerization kinetics and linear rheology of actin filaments in the absence and in the presence of latrunculin A. Filamentous actin is a semiflexible polymer, and latrunculin A is an organic, actin-binding molecule. Using diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS), we monitor the thermally exc
