Gelsolin from bovine plasma was used in actin assembly assays.[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Gelsolin is an actin-binding protein that regulates the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments[2][3].
Gelsolin is an actin-severing protein found in mammalian cells and blood plasma. Exhibits tumor suppressor activity in several cancer cell lines and in nude mice.

Acanthamoeba CARMIL was previously shown to co-purify with capping protein (CP) and to bind pure CP. Here we show that this interaction inhibits the barbed end-capping activity of CP. Even more strikingly, this interaction drives the uncapping of actin filaments
Summary Successful malaria transmission from the mosquito vector to the mammalian host depends crucially on active sporozoite motility. Sporozoite locomotion and host cell invasion are driven by the parasite's own actin/myosin motor. A unique feature of this motor machinery is

Apoptotic cell death, characterized by chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, cell membrane blebbing, and apoptotic body formation, is also accompanied by typical mitochondrial changes. The latter includes enhanced membrane permeability, fall in mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsi(m)) and release of cytochrome c
