In density‐inhibited 3T3 fibroblast cultures F‐actin is localized almost exclusively at the cell‐to‐cell borders. Depolymerization of microtubules results in a rearrangement of the F‐actin pattern. Numerous actin bundles are formed, most of them are anchored to the cell borders. This rearrangement is preceded by a transient rise in F‐actin content.
