Actin depolymerizing factors cofilin1 and destrin are required for ureteric bud branching morphogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 The actin depolymerizing factors (ADFs) play important roles in several cellular processes that require cytoskeletal rearrangements, such as cell migration, but little is known about the in vivo functions of ADFs in developmental events like branching ...

Research progress on the roles of actin-depolymerizing factor in plant stress responses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) are highly conserved small-molecule actin-binding proteins found throughout eukaryotic cells. In land plants, ADFs form a small gene family that displays functional redundancy despite variations among its individual ...

Genome-wide identification of the ADF gene family and expression analysis of responses to cold stress in bitter gourd [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) maintain actin dynamics depending on the local concentration in cells, regulating the severing and disassembly of actin filaments at low concentrations, whereas they contribute to actin nucleation and Pi ...

Genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of the ADF gene family in response to salt and drought stress in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe microfilament cytoskeleton, formed by the process of actin polymerization, serves not only to support the morphology of the cell, but also to regulate a number of cellular activities.

eLife, 2021 Melanoma cells have been shown to undergo fast amoeboid (leader bleb-based) migration, requiring a single large bleb for migration. In leader blebs, is a rapid flow of cortical actin that drives the cell forward.

Cells, 2023 Actin dynamics are known to orchestrate various myogenic processes in progenitor cells. Twinfilin-1 (TWF1) is an actin-depolymerizing factor that plays a crucial role in the differentiation of myogenic progenitor cells. However, little is known about the

Immunological responses and actin dynamics in macrophages are controlled by N-cofilin but are independent from ADF. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Dynamic changes in the actin cytoskeleton are essential for immune cell function and a number of immune deficiencies have been linked to mutations, which disturb the actin cytoskeleton.

Arabidopsis ADF5 Acts as a Downstream Target Gene of CBFs in Response to Low-Temperature Stress
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Low temperature is a major adverse environment that affects normal plant growth. Previous reports showed that the actin cytoskeleton plays an important role in the plant response to low-temperature stress, but the regulatory mechanism of the actin ...
