| Research Abstract |
Arp2/3 induces formation of actin meshwork which is required for membrane deformation in various type of cell movements. It has well been studied the molecular machinery activating Arp2/3 function. However, there is almost no study how Arp2/3-activity is down regulated during recycling of the actin cytoskeleton. Therefore, I decided to study the molecular function of a yeast homologue of the glia maturation factor GMF. Moreover, I tried to investigate cellular function of GmfA by using cellular mold which shows dynamic cell behavior.
