Global treadmilling coordinates actin turnover and controls the size of actin networks

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 18, 389 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.172 Authors: Marie-France Carlier & Shashank Shekhar Various cellular processes (including cell motility) are driven by the regulated, polarized assembly of actin filaments into distinct force-producing arrays of defined size and architecture. Branched, linear, contractile and cytosolic arrays coexist in vivo, and cells intricately control the number, length and assembly rate
