Formin protein nucleate the assembly of unbranched filaments, (FH1 and FH2 domains-Actin nucleation by the formin FH2 domain).

Formins are activated by membrane-bound Rho-GTP, a Ras-related small GTPase.

The Arp2/3 Complex Nucleates Branched Filament Assembly.

There are three classes of myosins, are present in many eukaryotes: 

Myosin I- single head domain

Myosin II- two heads and assembles into bipolar filaments

Myosin V- two heads but does not assemble into filaments
