Model of For3p-Mediated Actin Cable Assembly in Fission Yeast Hui Wang, Dimitrios Vavylonis* Department of Physics, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States of America Abstract Formin For3p nucleates actin cables at the tips of fission yeast cells for polarized cell growth. The results of prior experiments have suggested a possible mechanism for actin cable assembly that involves association of For3p near cell tips, For3p-mediated actin polymerization, retrograde flow of actin cables toward the cell center, For3p d
