Abstract

Actin polymerization is intimately associated with endocytosis in yeast and mammalian cells. Mechanisms of actin filament assembly in endocytosis are becoming better understood but less is known about how assembly is terminated. In yeast, phosphorylation of Arp2/3 complex activators provides one mechanism for downregulating endocytic actin assembly.
