Structural differences explain diverse functions of Plasmodium actins.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Actins are highly conserved proteins and key players in central processes in all eukaryotic cells. The two actins of the malaria parasite are among the most divergent eukaryotic actins and also differ from each other more than isoforms in any other ...

Emerging Functions of Actins and Actin Binding Proteins in Trypanosomatids
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Actin is the major protein constituent of the cytoskeleton that performs wide range of cellular functions. It exists in monomeric and filamentous forms, dynamics of which is regulated by a large repertoire of actin binding proteins. However, not much was

The actinome of Dictyostelium discoideum in comparison to actins and actin-related proteins from other organisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Actin belongs to the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells which harbor usually many conventional actin isoforms as well as actin-related proteins (Arps).

Science Advances, 2023 Protein filaments are used in myriads of ways to organize other molecules within cells. Some filament-forming proteins couple the hydrolysis of nucleotides to their polymerization cycle, thus powering the movement of other molecules.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2022 The integrity and functions of epithelial barriers depend on the formation of adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs). A characteristic feature of AJs and TJs is their association with the cortical cytoskeleton composed of actin filaments and ...

The Cytoplasmic Actins in the Regulation of Endothelial Cell Function
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The primary function of the endothelial cells (EC) lining the inner surface of all vessels is to regulate permeability of vascular walls and to control exchange between circulating blood and tissue fluids of organs.

Bacterial nucleators: actin' on actin [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2015 The actin cytoskeleton is a key target of numerous microbial pathogens, including protozoa, fungi, bacteria and viruses. In particular, bacterial pathogens produce and deliver virulence effector proteins that hijack actin dynamics to enable bacterial invasion of host cells, allow movement within the host cytosol, facilitate intercellular spread or ...

Different translation dynamics of β- and γ-actin regulates cell migration
eLife, 2021 β- and γ-cytoplasmic actins are ubiquitously expressed in every cell type and are nearly identical at the amino acid level but play vastly different roles in vivo. Their essential roles in embryogenesis and mesenchymal cell migration critically depend on

Actin, actin-binding proteins, and actin-related proteins in the nucleus [PDF]
Histochemistry and Cell Biology, 2016 Extensive research in the past decade has significantly broadened our view about the role actin plays in the life of the cell and added novel aspects to actin research. One of these new aspects is the discovery of the existence of nuclear actin which became evident only recently.
