Article Synopsis
- - There are three main types of actin nucleation factors: Arp2/3 complexes, Spire, and Formin, with Spire specifically assembling microfilaments by forming stable tetramers and binding actin at the growing end.
- - Although Spire was recognized as an actin nucleator as early as 1999, most research over the years has focused on Arp2/3 and Formin, leaving Spire relatively underexplored.
- - Recent findings highlight Spire's roles in vesicular transport and neural development, prompting a review of its structure, function, and connection to diseases to suggest future research directions.
