In their #OpenAccess Review, @KatrinaVelle @UMassD, @Swafford_AJ, @fleshball and @fritzlaylin @UMassAmherst discuss actin network evolution as a key driver of eukaryotic diversification.

ALT Diagram showing i) the major steps of actin regulation: nucleation, elongation and disassembly, ii) the different actin networks (dynamic actin polymers, stabilised actin polymers, expansive actin networks and contractile actin networks) and iii) the cellular processes that are regulated (cell shape and migration, cytoplasmic streaming and cell division).

Exciting new work in evolutionary cell biology! Caught Andrew's nice poster on this at ASCB.
Really appreciate the emphasis on the need to understand components regulating cell structures as part of an integrated system to understand how those structures evolve.
🚨New lab preprint: "We therefore propose a model for cytoskeletal evolution in which pools of microtubule network components constrain and guide the diversification of the entire network, so that the evolution of tubulin is inextricably linked to that of its binding partners."
