Ganeshan et al. (Biochem Biophys. Acta 1173 (2007) 192-200) recent study documents the effect of N-WASP inhibition and actin cytoskeleton disruption on the constitutive internalization and recycling of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. The results implicate the cytoskeleton network as a potential modulator of immobilized CFTR pool size at the plasma membrane and the recycling efficiency of endocytosed channel back to the cell surface.
