Abstract
Actin-related proteins (Arps) participate in a diverse array of cellular pr ocesses. They modulate assembly of conventional actin, contribute to microt ubule-based motility catalyzed by dynein, and serve as integral components of large protein complexes required for gene expression. We highlight here recent work aimed at understanding the roles played by Arps in each of thes e processes.
