Ø Abstract

토토 사이트 순위 are finger-like protrusive structures, containing actin bundles. To

probe their mode of assembly we have reconstituted 토토 사이트 순위-like structures

(FLSs) by applying frog egg extracts to supported lipid bilayers containing

phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate. FLSs assemble parallel actin bundles

from the membrane with known 토토 사이트 순위l components localized to the tip and

shaft. The 토토 사이트 순위 tip complexes self-organize and are not templated by

preexisting microdomains in the lipid. The BAR domain protein toca-1 recruits

N-WASP then the Arp2/3 complex and actin assembly follow. Elongation proteins,

Diaphanous-related formin, VASP and fascin are recruited later. Although the

Arp2/3 complex is required for FLS initiation, it is not essential for

elongation, which involves formins. We propose a model for 토토 사이트 순위 formation

involving an initial clustering of Arp 2/3 complex regulators,

self-assembly of 토토 사이트 순위l tip complexes on the membrane, and outgrowth of parallel actin

bundles.
