| Research Abstract |
The actin depolymerizing factor (ADF) cofilin was found to bind selectively to relaxed actin filaments and severed them, indicating that actin filaments work as a negative tension sensor through a tension dependent regulation of cofilin activity. It is supposed that increased torsional fluctuations of relaxed actin filaments accelerate the cofilin binding to them.
