Key result
srGAP2 regulates FMNL1 by terminating Rac signals and inhibiting actin severing during rapid actin dynamics.
Why the study?
It remains unclear how protein complexes form and regulate the actin cytoskeleton during rapid and efficient actin dynamics in vivo.

srGAP2 mediates a potent mechanism to limit the duration of Rac action and inhibit formin activity during rapid actin dynamics.
Mason et al. (2010) studied this question. srGAP2 was evaluated on Regulation of FMNL1 and actin dynamics. srGAP2 regulates FMNL1 by terminating upstream activating Rac signals and inhibiting FMNL1-mediated actin severing during rapid actin dynamics.
