Actin and Actin-Binding Proteins. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016 Organisms from all domains of life depend on filaments of the protein actin to provide structure and to support internal movements. Many eukaryotic cells use forces produced by actin polymerization for their motility, and myosin motor proteins use ATP ...

The Actin Cytoskeleton and Actin-Based Motility. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018 The actin cytoskeleton-a collection of actin filaments with their accessory and regulatory proteins-is the primary force-generating machinery in the cell.

Large and stable: actin aster networks formed via entropic forces
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 Biopolymer networks play a major role as part of the cytoskeleton. They provide stable structures and act as a medium for signal transport. These features encourage the application of such networks as organic computation devices.

Bacterial nucleators: actin' on actin [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2015 The actin cytoskeleton is a key target of numerous microbial pathogens, including protozoa, fungi, bacteria and viruses. In particular, bacterial pathogens produce and deliver virulence effector proteins that hijack actin dynamics to enable bacterial invasion of host cells, allow movement within the host cytosol, facilitate intercellular spread or ...

eLife, 2021 Melanoma cells have been shown to undergo fast amoeboid (leader bleb-based) migration, requiring a single large bleb for migration. In leader blebs, is a rapid flow of cortical actin that drives the cell forward.

Under the hood of a moving cell
eLife, 2022 Experiments using purified proteins reveal how the network of filaments that underlie cell movement becomes denser when pushing against a stronger mechanical force.
