On the Assembly of Actin Polymerization‐Powered Motors

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Actin polymerization‐powered motors have the highest speed when the actin recruiting‐polymerizing proteins are immobilized in polymer brushes on their surface. These motors orbit around larger tracer particles at pH above the isoelectric point of ActA but dock onto the tracer particles’ surface at lower pH. ABSTRACT Nano‐ and micromotors are a class of

Targeting Melanoma‐Specific Tyrosinase Disrupts Cytoskeleton Dynamics for Precision Apoptosis Induction by a De Novo Designed Cyclic Peptide

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study develops a tyrosinase‐activated cyclic peptide self‐assembly system to combat drug‐resistant melanoma. Cyclization of tyrosine/lysine‐rich peptides via ortho‐phthalaldehyde enables tyrosinase‐triggered quinone formation and nanostructure assembly, disrupting melanoma cell cytoskeletons by blocking actin polymerization and inducing apoptosis.

14‐3‐3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3107-3132, August 2026.
This review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...

Amino acid homeostasis in the kidney: Physiological roles and pathological dysregulation

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract Amino acids are fundamental to life as protein building blocks and key regulators of metabolism and signaling. The kidney plays a critical, yet underappreciated, role in amino acid homeostasis through three interconnected pillars: selective glomerular filtration, efficient tubular reabsorption, and metabolic processing, which includes de novo ...

Characterization of Profilin and Actin Depolymerizing Factors Expression and Function in the Testis [PDF]

, 2006
The actin cytoskeleton is a structure found in all eukarytes, known to be essential for a wide range of cellular processes. Cytoskeletal dynamics is regulated by a large number of proteins, commonly known as actin-binding proteins. Althgouh the role of actin-binding proteins in somatic cells has been well studied, their function in germ cells remains ...

Functional Characterization of the Soybean Glycine max Actin Depolymerization Factor GmADF13 for Plant Resistance to Drought Stress

Plants
Abiotic stress significantly affects plant growth and has devastating effects on crop production. Drought stress is one of the main abiotic stressors. Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton, and actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) are conserved ...
