Single‐Molecule Tracking and Super‐Resolution Microscopy Unveil Actin‐Driven Membrane Nanotopography Shaping Stable Integrin Adhesions in Developing Tissue

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Single molecule tracking and super‐resolution microscopy of integrin adhesion proteins and actin in developing Drosophila muscle attachment sites reveals that nanotopography triggered by Arp2/3‐dependent actin protrusions promotes stable adhesion formation.

Actin Filament Pointed Ends: Assays for Regulation of Assembly and Disassembly by Tropomodulin and Tropomyosin

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Actin filaments are dynamic polymers whose length depends on regulated monomer association and dissociation at their ends. Actin barbed‐end dynamics are relatively better understood, primarily due to the approximately tenfold faster subunit on/off rates at barbed versus pointed ends.

Phosphorylation at the Helm: Kinase‐Mediated Regulation of Primary Cilia Assembly and Disassembly

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary cilium serves as an antenna of most vertebrate cells and is important for conveying cues from several signaling pathways into appropriate cellular responses during development and homeostasis. Cilia assembly and disassembly processes are thought to be strictly controlled; however, the precise nature of molecular events underlying ...

Visualising the actin cytoskeleton

Microscopy Research and Technique, 1999
The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic filamentous network whose formation and remodeling underlies the fundamental processes of cell motility and shape determination. To serve these roles, different compartments of the actin cytoskeleton engage in forming specific coupling sites between neighbouring cells and with the underlying matrix, which themselves ...

SIGNALING TO THE ACTIN CYTOSKELETON

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1998
▪ Abstract  The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic network composed of actin polymers and a large variety of associated proteins. The main functions of the actin cytoskeleton are to mediate cell motility and cell shape changes during the cell cycle and in response to extracellular stimuli, to organize the cytoplasm, and to generate mechanical ...

The yeast actin cytoskeleton

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1994
Budding and fission yeast present significant advantages for studies of the actin cytoskeleton. The application of classical and molecular genetic techniques provides a facile route for the analysis of structure/function relationships, for the isolation of novel proteins involved in cytoskeletal function, and for deciphering the signals that regulate ...
