Figure 2. Cytoskeleton-binding proteins.
CBPs attach to cytoskeleton fibers directly (large proteins) or indirectly (CBP-interacting proteins; smaller proteins). CBPs and CBP-interacting proteins associate with cytoskeleton fibers in order to direct their subcellular localization, as a concentrating mechanism at specific locations within the cell or to mediate cytoskeletal rearrangement/stabilization. The interactions of CBPs and CBP-interacting proteins are often transient.
