Actin and microtubule dynamics are essential for key cellular processes such as cell migration, cell division, and transport of organelles or vesicles. Although the activities of these two distinct cytoskeletal networks are often studied one at a time, the idea that their activities are intertwined and that they influence each other’s dynamics has been around for over four decades (1).

AbstractIntracellular actin networks assemble through the addition of ATP actin subunits at the growing barbed ends of actin filaments. This is followed by aging of the filament via ATP hydrolysis and subsequent phosphate release. Aged ADP–actin subunits thus treadmill through the filament before being released back into the cytoplasmic monomer pool as a result of depolymerization at filament pointed ends.
