Gelsolin is one of the proteins that regulates the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. In the presence of calcium, gelsolin severs actin filaments and "caps" their barbed end, preventing the addition of new subunits there. 1, record 1, English, - gelsolin
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Because [actin-binding proteins] drastically shorten the lengths of the actin filaments, it can convert an actin gel into a sol. We therefore named this protein "gelsolin". 1, record 1, English, - gelsolin

La gelsoline est une des protéines qui règlent la formation et la dissociation des filaments d'actine. En présence d'ions calcium, la gelsoline coupe les filaments et coiffe une de leurs extrémités, bloquant l'allongement par cette extrémité. 2, record 1, French, - gelsoline
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
[Les protéines associées à l'actine] coupent [...] les liaisons entre les sous-unités d'actine, faisant apparaître de nouvelles extrémités barbées, qui sont aussitôt coiffées. Ainsi les filaments d'actine sont raccourcis, et le gel d'actine est transformé en sol. Nous avons nommé «gelsoline» la protéine responsable de cette transformation. 2, record 1, French, - gelsoline
