Calponin 3 regulates actin cytoskeleton rearrangement in trophoblastic cell fusion.

abstract：:Starvation induces Dictyostelium amoebae to secrete cAMP, toward which other amoebae stream, forming multicellular mounds that differentiate and develop into fruiting bodies containing spores. We find that the double deletion of cortexillin (ctx) I and II alters the actin cytoskeleton and substantially inhibits all mo...
