These long, thin fibres are the thinnest of the three cytoskeletal filaments and are about 8nm in diameter. Formation of microfilaments requires two steps: • Nucleation; and • Elongation • Different actin cross linking proteins form either bundles or networks of actin filaments. • PICTURE/TABLE OF DIFF PROTEINS WITH ACTIN Captions to be set in Times or Times New Roman or equivalent, italic, between 18 and 24 points.
