High Temporal Resolution 3D Live-Cell Imaging of Budding Yeast Meiosis Defines Discontinuous Actin/Telomere-Mediated Chromosome Motion, Correlated Nuclear Envelope Deformation and Actin Filament Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Chromosome movement is prominent at mid-meiotic prophase and is proposed to enhance the efficiency and/or stringency of homolog pairing and/or to help prevent or resolve topological entanglements.

Act1 out of Action: Identifying Reliable Reference Genes in Trichoderma reesei for Gene Expression Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Trichoderma reesei is a well-established industrial enzyme producer and has been the subject of extensive research for various applications. The basis of many research studies is the analysis of gene expression, specifically with RT-qPCR, which requires ...

Positioning of AMPA Receptor-Containing Endosomes Regulates Synapse Architecture

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Lateral diffusion in the membrane and endosomal trafficking both contribute to the addition and removal of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) at postsynaptic sites.

Actin stress fibre subtypes in mesenchymal-migrating cells [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2013
Mesenchymal cell migration is important for embryogenesis and tissue regeneration. In addition, it has been implicated in pathological conditions such as the dissemination of cancer cells.

Visualizing molecules of functional human profilin

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Profilin-1 (PFN1) is a cytoskeletal protein that regulates the dynamics of actin and microtubule assembly. Thus, PFN1 is essential for the normal division, motility, and morphology of cells.

Novel Actin Cytoskeleton. Actin Tubules.

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2000
In spores of Dictyostelium discoideum three actin filaments are bundled to form a novel tubular structure and the tubules are then organized into rods. These tubular structures we will term actin tubules. Actin tubules are reconstructed from the supernatant of spore homogenates, while the usual actin filaments were bundled after incubation of ...

Chlamydia Hijacks ARF GTPases To Coordinate Microtubule Posttranslational Modifications and Golgi Complex Positioning

open access: yesmBio, 2017
The intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis develops in a parasitic compartment called the inclusion. Posttranslationally modified microtubules encase the inclusion, controlling the positioning of Golgi complex fragments around the inclusion.

The Actin Cytoskeleton and Actin-Based Motility [PDF]

open access: yesCold 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. It can produce pushing (protrusive) forces through coordinated polymerization of multiple actin filaments or pulling (contractile) forces through sliding actin filaments along bipolar filaments of ...

The actin-binding protein profilin II in neuronal plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Activity-dependent plasticity in neurons involves changes in synaptic transmission and connectivity. These changes lead to altered neuronal circuit properties and are thought to underlie learning and memory.

A distributed residue network permits conformational binding specificity in a conserved family of actin remodelers

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Metazoan proteomes contain many paralogous proteins that have evolved distinct functions. The Ena/VASP family of actin regulators consists of three members that share an EVH1 interaction domain with a 100 % conserved binding site.
