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

Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate turnover by INP51 regulates the cell wall integrity pathway in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]
Signal transduction pathways are important for the cell to transduce external or internal stimuli where second messengers play an important role as mediators of the stimuli. One important group of second messengers are the phosphoinositide family present

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]
Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

Actin Cytoskeleton Affects Schwann Cell Migration and Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
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
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

Novel Actin Cytoskeleton. Actin Tubules.
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 ...

Dynamics of the Actin Cytoskeleton at Adhesion Complexes
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

A pharmacological cocktail for arresting actin dynamics in living cells. [PDF]
The actin cytoskeleton is regulated by factors that influence polymer assembly, disassembly, and network rearrangement. Drugs that inhibit these events have been used to test the role of actin dynamics in a wide range of cellular processes.

The role of the actin cytoskeleton during receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) has been well characterized in yeast for many years. Only more recently has the interplay between the actin cytoskeleton and RME been extensively explored in mammalian cells ...

Phagocytosis and the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
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 ...
