The machinery for cell locomotion is based in a network of polymerized actin filaments supporting the peripheral cytoplasm. This network or 'gel' consists of actin filaments in a variety of configurations, including cables, loose bundles, and branching arrays; all formed by the interaction of actin-
We have isolated and sequenced a full-length cDNA clone containing information for the rice actin gene RAcl. Transcript terminus mapping and sequence alignment between the RAcl cDNA clone and a previously isolated RAcl genomic clone were used to determine the structure of the RAcl gene. This allowed
