cell bio an actin-binding protein called cofilin binds preferentially to adp-containing actin filaments rather than atp-containing actin filaments. based on this preference, which is true?

Respuesta :

It is true that in cell biology, the actin-binding protein cofilin preferentially binds to actin filaments that contain adp rather than atp.

How does cofilin affect an actin microfilament?

By increasing the number of filament ends from which actin monomers can be added to or detached, cofilin, a key actin regulating protein, accelerates the kinetics of actin assembly.

Are cofilin and ADF the same thing?

Due to its stronger monomer sequestering ability and lesser nucleation has ability than cofilin, ADF is a more effective actin depolymerizing protein. Increasing the actin monomer pool decreases the expression of ADF but not cofilin.
