    J Neurosci 28:8316-25. 2008
    ..Together, our results suggest that synaptic growth activated by growth factor signaling is controlled at an endosomal compartment via coordinated Nwk and Cdc42-dependent actin assembly...
  4. ncbi Structural and functional dissection of the Abp1 ADFH actin-binding domain reveals versatile in vivo adapter functions
    Omar Quintero-Monzon
    Department of Biology and Rosenstiel Basic Medical Science Research Center, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454, USA
    Mol Biol Cell 16:3128-39. 2005
    ..Together, our data provide the first structural and functional view of the Abp1-actin interaction and show that Abp1 has distinct cellular roles as an adapter, linking different sets of ligands for each function...
