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 ...

Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins control cilia length through regulation of actin polymerisation. [PDF]
, 2012 Primary cilia are cellular appendages important for signal transduction and sensing the environment. Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins form a complex that is important for several cytoskeleton-related processes such as ciliogenesis, cell migration and ...

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

Diverse functions for different forms of nuclear actin [PDF]
, 2017 In addition to its essential roles as part of the cytoskeleton, actin has also been linked to many processes in the nucleus. Recent data has demonstrated the presence of both monomeric and polymeric actin in the nucleus, and implied distinct functional ...

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 ...

An unmet actin requirement explains the mitotic inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis [PDF]
, 2014 Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is the major internalisation route for many different receptor types in mammalian cells. CME is shut down during early mitosis, but the mechanism of this inhibition is unclear.
