The Regulation of Actin Organization by Actin-Depolymerizing Factor in Elongating Pollen Tubes[W] [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2002 AbstractPollen tube elongation is a polarized cell growth process that transports the male gametes from the stigma to the ovary for fertilization inside the ovules. Actomyosin-driven intracellular trafficking and active actin remodeling in the apical and subapical regions of pollen tubes are both important aspects of this rapid tip growth process ...

Functional proteomic analysis of Ankaferd® Blood Stopper
Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2010 OBJECTIVE: Ankaferd® Blood Stopper (ABS) comprises a standardized mixture of the plants Thymus vulgaris, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Vitis vinifera, Alpinia officinarum, and Urtica dioica. The basic mechanism of action for ABS is the formation of an encapsulated

Toxoplasma gondii Actin Depolymerizing Factor Acts Primarily to Sequester G-actin [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa. Parasites in this phylum utilize a unique process of motility termed gliding, which is dependent on parasite actin filaments. Surprisingly, 98% of parasite actin is maintained as G-actin, suggesting that filaments are rapidly assembled and turned over.

Distribution and cellular localization of actin depolymerizing factor. [PDF]
The Journal of cell biology, 1987 Actin depolymerizing factor (ADF) is a low molecular mass (19 kD) protein that forms a tightly bound dimeric complex with actin. We have raised a rabbit antiserum to chick brain ADF and used it to analyze the distribution and cellular localization of ADF.

The Two Caenorhabditis elegans Actin-Depolymerizing Factor/Cofilin Proteins Differently Enhance Actin Filament Severing and Depolymerization [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2005 Actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin enhances the turnover of actin filaments by two separable activities: filament severing and pointed-end depolymerization. Multicellular organisms express multiple ADF/cofilin isoforms in a tissue-specific manner, and the vertebrate proteins are grouped into ADFs and cofilins on the basis of their biochemical ...

Regulation of the Pollen-Specific Actin-Depolymerizing Factor LlADF1
The Plant Cell, 2002 Pollen tube growth is dependent on a dynamic actin cytoskeleton, suggesting that actin-regulating proteins are involved. We have examined the regulation of the lily pollen-specific actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) LlADF1. Its actin binding and depolymerizing activity is pH sensitive, inhibited by certain phosphoinositides, but not controlled by ...

Increase in Neurite Outgrowth Mediated by Overexpression of Actin Depolymerizing Factor [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2000 Growth cone motility is regulated by changes in actin dynamics. Actin depolymerizing factor (ADF) is an important regulator of actin dynamics, and extracellular signal-induced changes in ADF activity may influence growth cone motility and neurite extension. To determine this directly, we overexpressed ADF in primary neurons and analyzed neurite lengths.
