Versatile fluorescent probes for actin filaments based on the actin‐binding domain of utrophin
Open accessAbstract
Actin filaments (F‐actin) are protein polymers that undergo rapid assembly and disassembly and control an enormous variety of cellular processes ranging from force production to regulation of signal transduction. Consequently, imaging of F‐actin has become an increasingly important goal for biologists seeking to understand how cells and tissues function. However, most of the available means for imaging F‐actin in living cells suffer from one or more biological or experimental shortcomings. Here we describe fluorescent F‐actin probes based on the calponin homology domain of utrophin (Utr‐CH), which binds F‐actin without stabilizing it in vitro . We show that these probes faithfully report the distribution of F‐actin in living and fixed cells, distinguish between stable and dynamic F‐actin, and have no obvious effects on processes that depend critically on the balance of actin assembly and disassembly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
