The morphology of these trichomes is similar to that observed in a 'distorted' class of mutants, suggesting that at least some of the affected genes are likely to code for proteins involved in actin organization/dynamics (for example myosins, actin-depolymerizing factors, actin-binding proteins).
α-Actinin is an actin-binding cytoskeletal protein present in a variety of cells [ 1 ] and in focal adhesion sites where cells adhere to the substrate [ 2 ] . There is biochemical [ 3 ] and histologic [ 4 ] evidence that focal adhesion complexes, containing α-actinin and other footpad material, are left behind as a result of normal movement of cells [ 2 ] , perhaps at increased rates when neutrophils and monocytes move into inflammatory tissue.

As described previously [ 6 ] , a pGEX2 vector, encoding the actin-binding domain, residues 2-269 of chicken smooth muscle α-actinin, fused with the carboxy terminus of glutathione S-transferase (GST) with an engineered thrombin cleavage site, was kindly provided by Dr DR Critchley of the University of Leicester, UK.
