Phenotypes of cytoskeletal mutants.
Phenotypic studies continue to contribute to an understanding of the functions of cytoskeletal proteins. Many of these studies indicate some degree of functional redundancy within a family of cytoskeletal proteins. Some surprises have emerged, such as suggestions of unexpected relationships between the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons. Finally, phenotypic studies have provided evidence for a function of intermediate filaments.
