Actin in striated muscle: recent insights into assembly and maintenance

Biophysics Reviews
Joseph DwyerElisabeth Ehler

Abstract

Striated muscle cells are characterised by a para-crystalline arrangement of their contractile proteins actin and myosin in sarcomeres, the basic unit of the myofibrils. A multitude of proteins is required to build and maintain the structure of this regular arrangement as well as to ensure regulation of contraction and to respond to alterations in demand. This review focuses on the actin filaments (also called thin filaments) of the sarcomere and will discuss how they are assembled during myofibrillogenesis and in hypertrophy and how their integrity is maintained in the working myocardium.

Actin-binding Proteins

Actin-binding proteins are a component of the actin cytoskeleton that play essential roles in cellular functions such as regulation of actin polymerization, maintenance of cell polarity, gene expression regulation, cell motility and many more functions.
