Abstract
Formins polymerize actin filaments for the cytokinetic contractile ring. Using in vitro reconstitution of fission yeast contractile ring precursor nodes containing formins and myosin, a new study shows that formin-mediated polymerization is strongly inhibited upon the capture and pulling of actin filaments by myosin, a result that has broad implications for cellular mechanosensing.Entities:
