title: Crystal structure of the actin-binding protein actophorin from Acanthamoeba.
abstract: Actophorin is a member of the actin-depolymerizing factor/cofilin family. It severs actin filaments and sequesters actin monomers. The crystal structure of actophorin will help to elucidate actin-ADF/cofilin interactions.
