Functional Characterization of the Soybean Glycine max Actin Depolymerization Factor GmADF13 for Plant Resistance to Drought Stress

Plants
Abiotic stress significantly affects plant growth and has devastating effects on crop production. Drought stress is one of the main abiotic stressors. Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton, and actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) are conserved ...

Alpha‐Synuclein Promotes Anterograde Vesicle Transport in Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells: A Pro‐Survival Function

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Model for how α‐syn modulates the positioning of endolysosomes in melanoma cells. (a) α‐syn tethers endolysosomes to the plasma membrane, a last step in anterograde transport. (b) Loss of α‐syn expression causes the loss of the tethering function, which leads to perinuclear vesicle clustering. Reproduced from the open access article.

Genome-wide identification and comprehensive characterization of the ADF gene family in Triticum monococcum L. subsp. aegilopoides with insights into structure, evolution and cold stress response

Frontiers in Plant Science
Actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) play crucial roles in cytoskeletal dynamics and stress adaptation in plants. In this study, we identified nine ADF genes (TbADF1 to TbADF9) in Triticum monococcum L. subsp. aegilopoides.

Decoding Dual Regulatory Layers: Integrating Differential Expression and Alternative Splicing Dynamics in the Evolution of Laryngeal Echolocation Across Chiropteran Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that alleviate root growth defects in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis mutant

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

Interactional Endocytosis and Transmembrane Transport Promote Cellular Internalization of Nano‐Delivered RNA Drugs for Efficient Control of Crop Diseases

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea is a widespread plant pathogenic ascomycete that causes grey mould in over 1400 species and impacts global crop yields. Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐induced gene silencing is a promising technology for pest control, but efficient delivery remains a major challenge.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Computational Study of the Binding Mechanism of Actin-Depolymerizing Factor 1 with Actin in Arabidopsis thaliana

PLOS ONE, 2016
Actin is a highly conserved protein. It plays important roles in cellular function and exists either in the monomeric (G-actin) or polymeric form (F-actin). Members of the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin protein family bind to both G-actin and F-actin and play vital roles in actin dynamics by manipulating the rates of filament polymerization ...

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...
