Abstract

The bundled architecture of actin filaments is not needed for intestinal microvillar morphogenesis, as shown in knockout mice devoid of microvillar actin-bundling proteins. This architecture is essential for the apical anchorage of digestive proteins, probably via the recruitment of key players in apical retention, such as myosin-1a, and, as a result, for intestinal physiology
