Phagocytosis and the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2001
ABSTRACT The process of engulfing a foreign particle – phagocytosis – is of fundamental importance for a wide diversity of organisms. From simple unicellular organisms that use phagocytosis to obtain their next meal, to complex metazoans in which phagocytic cells represent an essential branch of the immune system, evolution has armed ...

Role of actin cytoskeleton in the organization and function of ionotropic glutamate receptors

Current Research in Structural Biology, 2021
Neural networks with precise connection are compulsory for learning and memory. Various cellular events occur during the genesis of dendritic spines to their maturation, synapse formation, stabilization of the synapse, and proper signal transmission. The

Actin Remodeling Defects Leading to Autoinflammation and Immune Dysregulation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
A growing number of monogenic immune-mediated diseases have been related to genes involved in pathways of actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Increasing evidences associate cytoskeleton defects to autoinflammatory diseases and primary immunodeficiencies.

LUZP1 Controls Cell Division, Migration and Invasion Through Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
LUZP1 is a centrosomal and actin cytoskeleton-localizing protein that regulates both ciliogenesis and actin filament bundling. As the cytoskeleton and cilia are implicated in metastasis and tumor suppression, we examined roles for LUZP1 in the context of

Regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by an interaction of IQGAP related protein GAPA with filamin and cortexillin I. [PDF]

, 2010
Filamin and Cortexillin are F-actin crosslinking proteins in Dictyostelium discoideum allowing actin filaments to form three-dimensional networks. GAPA, an IQGAP related protein, is required for cytokinesis and localizes to the cleavage furrow during ...

Actin Cytoskeleton Affects Schwann Cell Migration and Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Actin cytoskeleton regulates many essential biological functions, including cellular development, shape, polarity, and motility. The organization of actin cytoskeleton has also been associated with numerous physiological and pathological conditions, for ...

Quantitative Investigation of the Link between Actin Cytoskeleton Dynamics and Cellular Behavior

Micromachines, 2022
Actin cytoskeleton reorganization, which is governed by actin-associated proteins, has a close relationship with the change of cell biological behavior. However, a perceived understanding of how actin mechanical property links to cell biological property

A functional link between the actin cytoskeleton and lipid rafts during budding of filamentous influenza virions [PDF]

, 2002
Morphogenesis of influenza virus is a poorly understood process that produces two types of enveloped virion: approximately 100-nm spheres and similar diameter filaments that reach 20 microm in length. Spherical particles assemble at plasma membrane lipid

Dynamics of the Actin Cytoskeleton at Adhesion Complexes

Biology, 2021
The shape of cells is altered to allow cells to adapt to their changing environments, including responding to internally generated and externally applied force. Force is sensed by cell surface adhesion proteins that are enriched in sites where cells bind
