The hierarchical assembly of septins revealed by high-speed AFM

Septins are GTP-binding proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including division, polarity maintenance and membrane remodeling. Here authors use high-speed atomic force microscopy to show that assembly of septin filaments is a diffusion-driven process, while septin assembly into higher-ord...

Description
Summary:Septins are GTP-binding proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including division, polarity maintenance and membrane remodeling. Here authors use high-speed atomic force microscopy to show that assembly of septin filaments is a diffusion-driven process, while septin assembly into higher-order involves septin self-templating
