Abstract
Recent advances have been made in our understanding of the direct binding of actin to integral membrane proteins. New information has been obtained about indirect actin-membrane associations through spectrin superfamily members and through proteins at the cytoplasmic surfaces of focal contacts and adherens junctions.
