Question

"Actin filaments are a major element of the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton provides a framework for the cell and acts as a scaffold that both determines cell shape and positions organelles within cells. For example, the cytoskeleton provides the tracks along which organelles move. At the same time, the cytoskeleton is subject to cleavage by proteins like cofilin. What is the apparent function of cofilin in creating a dynamic cytoskeleton?"

Answer 1

Answer:

The apparent function of cofilin in the creation of dynamic cytoskeleton is that the cofilin which is a central component of actin filament sever protein that binds actin feed during filament severing. For the cell to be able to move, the actin filament must be dynamic so that cofilin gets the ability to sever actin filament to create a dynamic cytoskeleton.
