TABLE 1.
Summary of genetic and biochemical effects of ARC35 alleles
++, wild type phenotype. +, slightly impaired phenotype. −, strongly impaired phenotype. “Clumps” indicates aberrantly large actin formation (see text). NA, not applicable. ND, not determined. “No NPF” actin nucleation activity data were taken from Fig. 4C. Polarized actin patches were scored after Alexa 488-phalloidin staining cells (representative images in Fig. 6) as the percentages of budded cells with six or more patches in the mother (n > 100 cells). The endocytosis data are from Fig. 7B.
