Spatial Organization of the Cytoskeleton enhances Cargo Delivery to Specific Target Areas on the Plasma Membrane of Spherical Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Intracellular transport is vital for the proper functioning and survival of a cell. Cargo (proteins, vesicles, organelles, etc.) is transferred from its place of creation to its target locations via molecular motor assisted transport along cytoskeletal ...

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014 A model of crosslinker unbinding is implemented in a highly coarse-grained granular model of F-actin cytoskeleton. We employ this specific granular model to study the mechanisms of the compressive responses of F-actin networks.

The actin-myosin regulatory MRCK kinases: regulation, biological functions and associations with human cancer [PDF]
, 2014 The contractile actin-myosin cytoskeleton provides much of the force required for numerous cellular activities such as motility, adhesion, cytokinesis and changes in morphology.

Endocytosis, Actin Cytoskeleton, and Signaling [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2004 Endocytosis is the internalization of plasma membrane proteins and lipids, extracellular molecules, fluids, particles, exosomes, viruses, and bacteria. Endocytic internalization is a conserved process for all eukaryotic cells that is required for diverse cellular functions.

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014 .: TMEM16A is a major component of Ca2+-activated Cl− channel (CaCC) conductance in murine portal vein smooth muscle cells (mPVSMCs). Here, the regulation of CaCC activity by the actin cytoskeleton was examined in mPVSMCs.

HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]
, 2015 The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in

The Actin Cytoskeleton and Actin-Based Motility [PDF]
Cold 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 ...

cis-acting sequences and trans-acting factors in the localization of mRNA for mitochondrial ribosomal proteins [PDF]
, 2008 mRNA localization is a conserved post-transcriptional process crucial for a variety of systems. Although several mechanisms have been identified, emerging evidence suggests that most transcripts reach the protein functional site by moving along ...

Alteration of the cortical actin cytoskeleton deregulates Ca2+ signaling, monospermic fertilization, and sperm entry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundWhen preparing for fertilization, oocytes undergo meiotic maturation during which structural changes occur in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that lead to a more efficient calcium response. During meiotic maturation and subsequent fertilization,
