New research from Lee, Higgs et al. @GeiselMed shows how #INF2, a key #actin regulator, is activated by calcium-calmodulin and free actin monomers. Actin-binding proteins like profilin and thymosin aren't just helpers - they directly tune INF2 activity. https://t.co/ZYPcpXmC4S
This study presents new tools for measuring the intracellular calcium concentration close to transmitter release sites, which may be relevant for synaptic vesicle fusion and replenishment.
