Cofilin is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells where it binds to Actin, thereby regulating the rapid cycling of Actin assembly and disassembly, essential for cellular viability.
Cofilin is a low molecular weight protein that binds to filamentous F-Actin by bridging two longitudinally-associated Actin subunits, changing the F-Actin filament twist.
This process is allowed by the dephosphorylation of Cofilin Ser 3 by factors like opsonized zymosan.
LIM kinase 1 (LIMK-1), a serine kinase, phosphorylates Cofilin and renders it unable to bind and depolymerize F-Actin.
