Non Diaphanous Formin Delphilin Acts as a Barbed End Capping Protein
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTFormins are important for actin polymerization. Delphilin is a unique formin having PDZ domains and FH1, FH2 domains at its N and C terminus respectively. In this study we observed that Delphilin binds to actin filaments, and have negligible actin filament polymerizing activity. Delphilin inhibits actin filament elongation like barbed end capping protein CapZ. In vitro, Delphilin stabilized actin filaments by inhibiting actin filament depolymerisation. Therefore, our study demonstrates Delphilin as an actin-filament capping protein.
