Remarkable structural transformations of actin bundles are driven by their initial polarity, motor activity, crosslinking, and filament treadmilling
Fig 3
Representative snapshots show network morphologies from simulations of apolar bundles under different crosslinker and myosin mole ratios with respect to the actin concentration.
Each panel shows a steady state network configuration of actin (colored in red) along with bound myosin minifilaments (blue) and α–actinin (green). Mole ratios of myosin and α-actinin with respect to actin are held at values mentioned along abscissa and ordinate of the grid respectively.
