CaMKII generates actin bundle morphology and mechanics distinct from canonical bivalent cross-linkers
Actin cross-linkers are essential modulators of the actin cytoskeleton, enabling structural diversity and dynamic remodeling. Among them, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is unique in serving a dual role as a kinase and as a multivalent structural binder of actin in dendritic spines, where it pla...
