Calponin-Homology Domain mediated bending of membrane associated actin filaments
S. Palani, A. Suchenko, S. Ghosh…·D. V. Koester
This paper shows that the 'curly' domain from IQGAP proteins stabilizes curved actin filaments when anchored to lipid membranes, forming high-curvature rings and enabling contraction with myosin II.
