Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the disassembly of actin filaments by the removal of actin monomers from a filament. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of actin depolymerization. The severing of actin filaments into numerous short fragments, usually mediated by actin severing proteins. Assembly or disassembly of actin filaments by the addition or removal of actin monomers from a filament. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of actin depolymerization. Disassembly of actin filaments by the removal of actin monomers from a filament. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments. Includes processes that control the spatial distribution of actin filaments, such as organizing filaments into meshworks, bundles, or other structures, as by cross-linking. The process by which protein polymers, compounds composed of a large number of component monomers, are broken down. Depolymerization occurs by the successive removal of monomers from an existing poly- or oligomeric protein. Any process carried out at the cellular level by which macromolecules aggregate, disaggregate, or are modified, resulting in the formation, disassembly, or alteration of a macromolecular complex. The disaggregation of a protein complex into its constituent components, occurring at the level of an individual cell. Protein complexes may have other associated non-protein prosthetic groups, such as nucleic acids, metal ions or carbohydrate groups.
