“…Antibodies against profilin generate a dot-like pattern and enrichment at the leading cell edge and perinuclear region that might be compatible with a fraction of the protein being colocalized with microtubules (Buss, Temmgrove, Henning, & Jockusch, 1992;Li, Grenklo, Higgins, & Karlsson, 2008;Mayboroda, Schluter, & Jockusch, 1997;Skare, Kreivi, Bergstrom, & Karlsson, 2003). Later, it has been demonstrated that, in fact, profilin partially codistributes with microtubules in human fibroblasts (Grenklo, Johansson, Bertilson, & Karlsson, 2004) which was recently F I G U R E 2 Actin treadmilling is synergistically powered by profilin and ADF/cofilin proteins. ADF/cofilin (blue circles) loads cooperatively onto microfilament sides enriched of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-actin (light gray G-actin) leading to F-actin severing and disassembly at pointed ends.…”
