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 ...

Intracellular tension sensor reveals mechanical anisotropy of the actin cytoskeleton
Nature Communications, 2023 The filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton is a composite material consisting of cortical actin and bundled F-actin stress fibers, which together mediate the mechanical behaviors of the cell, from cell division to cell migration. However, as mechanical

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF THE ACTIN CYTOSKELETON
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2018 The actin cytoskeleton is the primary force-generating machinery in the cell, which can produce pushing (protrusive) forces using energy of actin polymerization and pulling (contractile) forces via sliding of bipolar filaments of myosin II along actin ...

Comprehensive contribution of filament thickness and crosslinker failure to the rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 2015 Rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton is significant to the restructuring of cytoskeleton under a variety of cell activities. This study numerically validates the rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton is not only a result of kinetic energy ...
