Cell wall stress depolarizes cell growth via hyperactivation of RHO1 [PDF]
, 1999 Cells sense and physiologically respond to environmental stress via signaling pathways. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells respond to cell wall stress by transiently depolarizing the actin cytoskeleton.

Life, 2023 The actin cytoskeleton plays a crucial role not only in maintaining cell shape and viability but also in homing/engraftment properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a valuable source of cell therapy.

Novel Actin Cytoskeleton. Actin Tubules.
Cell 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 ...

An unmet actin requirement explains the mitotic inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis [PDF]
, 2014 Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is the major internalisation route for many different receptor types in mammalian cells. CME is shut down during early mitosis, but the mechanism of this inhibition is unclear.

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 ...

The actin cytoskeleton in presynaptic assembly [PDF]
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2013 Dramatic morphogenetic processes underpin nearly every step of nervous system development, from initial neuronal migration and axon guidance to synaptogenesis. Underlying this morphogenesis are dynamic rearrangements of cytoskeletal architecture. Here we discuss the roles of the actin cytoskeleton in the development of presynaptic terminals, from the ...

Viscoelastic Cell Mechanics and actin remodelling are dependent on the rate of applied pressure [PDF]
, 2012 Background: living cells are subjected to external and internal mechanical stresses. The effects of these stresses on the deformation and subsequent biological response of the cells remains unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that the rate at which

Podocytopathy: The role of actin cytoskeleton
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2022 Renal injury and the development of albuminuria are tightly connected with the loss of podocytes. Podocyte damages cause proteinuric renal diseases since podocyte foot processes (FP) and their interposed slit diaphragms (SD) are the final barriers against protein loss.

Formins Determine the Functional Properties of Actin Filaments in Yeast [PDF]
, 2014 The actin cytoskeleton executes a broad range of essential functions within a living cell. The dynamic nature of the actin polymer is modulated to facilitate specific cellular processes at discrete locations by actin-binding proteins (ABPs), including ...

Analysis of CD44-containing lipid rafts: Recruitment of annexin II and stabilization by the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 1999 CD44, the major cell surface receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA), was shown to localize to detergent-resistant cholesterol-rich microdomains, called lipid rafts, in fibroblasts and blood cells.
