Aip1 destabilizes cofilin-saturated actin filaments by severing and accelerating monomer dissociation from ends

BACKGROUND: Depolymerization of actin filaments is vital for the morphogenesis of dynamic cytoskeletal arrays and actin-dependent cell-motility. Cofilin is necessary for actin disassembly in cells, and it severs filaments most efficiently at low cofilin to actin ratios, whereas higher concentrations...
