Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The mammalian cytoskeleton forms a mechanical continuum that spans across the cell, connecting the cell surface to the nucleus via transmembrane protein complexes in the plasma and nuclear membranes. It transmits extracellular forces to the cell interior,

Computational prediction of actin–actin interaction [PDF]
Molecular Biology Reports, 2013 Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells, where it plays key roles in cell shape, motility, and regulation. Actin is found in globular (G) and filamentous (F) structure in the cell. The helix of actin occurs as a result of polymerization of monomeric G-actin molecules through sequential rowing, is called F-actin.

Cytoskeletons in the Closet—Subversion in Alphaherpesvirus Infections
Viruses, 2018 Actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments form the cytoskeleton of vertebrate cells. Involved in maintaining cell integrity and structure, facilitating cargo and vesicle transport, remodelling surface structures and motility, the ...

The Actin/Spectrin Membrane-Associated Periodic Skeleton in Neurons
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018 Neurons are the most asymmetric cell types, with their axons commonly extending over lengths that are thousand times longer than the diameter of the cell soma.

Trends in Cell Biology, 1996 The most biologically significant property of actin is its ability to self-associate and form two-stranded polymeric microfilaments. In living cells, these micro filaments form the actin cytoskeleton, essential for maintenance of the shape, passive mechanical properties and active motility of eukaryotic cells. Recently discovered actin-related proteins

PIN2 Polarity Establishment in Arabidopsis in the Absence of an Intact Cytoskeleton
Biomolecules, 2019 Cell polarity is crucial for the coordinated development of all multicellular organisms. In plants, this is exemplified by the PIN-FORMED (PIN) efflux carriers of the phytohormone auxin: The polar subcellular localization of the PINs is instructive to ...

Siglec-8 Signals Through a Non-Canonical Pathway to Cause Human Eosinophil Death In Vitro
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec)-8 is a glycan-binding receptor bearing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory and switch motifs (ITIM and ITSM, respectively) that is selectively expressed on eosinophils, mast cells, and, to a ...
