Src Dependent Pancreatic Acinar Injury Can Be Initiated Independent of an Increase in Cytosolic Calcium [PDF]
, 2013 Several deleterious intra-acinar phenomena are simultaneously triggered on initiating acute pancreatitis. These culminate in acinar injury or inflammatory mediator generation in vitro and parenchymal damage in vivo. Supraphysiologic caerulein is one such

MicroRNA-related cofilin abnormality in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Rod-like structures composed of actin and the actin-binding protein cofilin are found in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, the mechanisms underlying formation of these structures and their pathological consequences are still largely unknown. We

Studies of functional properties of espin 1: Its interaction to actin filaments
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Actin is a multifunctional biomolecule that forms not only basic structural bodies such as filopodia and lamellipodia, but also large microvilli-like organelles like stereocilia.

Alpha-actinin of the chlorarchiniophyte Bigelowiella natans [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The genome of the chlorarchiniophyte Bigelowiella natans codes for a protein annotated as an α-actinin-like protein. Analysis of the primary sequence indicate that this protein has the same domain structure as other α-actinins, a N-terminal actin-binding

A unique profilin-actin interface is important for malaria parasite motility. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Profilin is an actin monomer binding protein that provides ATP-actin for incorporation into actin filaments. In contrast to higher eukaryotic cells with their large filamentous actin structures, apicomplexan parasites typically contain only short and ...

ER-mitochondria contacts: Actin dynamics at the ER control mitochondrial fission via calcium release. [PDF]
, 2017 The formin-like protein INF2 is an important player in the polymerization of actin filaments. In this issue, Chakrabarti et al. (2018. J. Cell Biol.

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1969 1) A preparation containing actin-like protein was extracted from the smooth muscle of the intestine with the use of STRAUB'S method.2) The viscometric observation suggested that intestinal actin-like proteinseemed to act as a monomer (globular actin) in salt-free solution and topolymerize to some polymer (fibrous actin) when low KCl was added.3) The ...

F-actin-like filaments formed by plasmid segregation protein ParM [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2002 It was the general belief that DNA partitioning in prokaryotes is independent of a cytoskeletal structure, which in eukaryotic cells is indispensable for DNA segregation. Recently, however, immunofluorescence microscopy revealed highly dynamic, filamentous structures along the longitudinal axis of Escherichia coli formed by ParM, a plasmid-encoded ...

Control of lipid organization and actin assembly during clathrin-mediated endocytosis by the cytoplasmic tail of the rhomboid protein Rbd2. [PDF]
, 2015 Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is facilitated by a precisely regulated burst of actin assembly. PtdIns(4,5)P2 is an important signaling lipid with conserved roles in CME and actin assembly regulation. Rhomboid family multipass transmembrane proteins
