Crosslinking of actin filaments is caused by caldesmon aggregates, but not by its dimers

A recent report by Bretscher [(1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 12873-12880] showed that caldesmon prepared by his method crosslinks actin filaments to form thick bundles. This is in contrast to the results of previous work that caldesmon binds to F-actin but does not cause any gelation [(1981) Proc. Natl....
