Both COR47 and ERD10 dehydrins were shown to bind ACTIN filaments. A series of experiments demonstrated that ERD10 was probably capable of binding the plus and minus ends as well as the body of the filament. Although COR47 was also shown to bind the filament, where it binds is still unknown. ERD10 binding inhibits nucleation, slowing the initiation of growth while it also slows the depolymerization of the filament. It can interfere with the capacity of latrunculin B to prevent polymerization [108].
