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 ...

Investigation of mass graves in the Churchyard of St. Gertrude’s, Riga, Latvia [PDF]
, 2011 What determines the magnitude of attentional capture by deviant sound events? We combined the cross-modal oddballdistraction paradigm with sequence learning to address this question.

Actin reorganization throughout the cell cycle mediated by motor proteins [PDF]
, 2021 Cortical actin networks are highly dynamic and play critical roles in shaping the mechanical properties of cells. The actin cytoskeleton undergoes significant reorganization over the course of the cell cycle, when cortical actin transitions between open patched meshworks, homogeneous distributions, and aligned bundles.

Evolutionarily divergent, unstable filamentous actin is essential for gliding motility in apicomplexan parasites. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Apicomplexan parasites rely on a novel form of actin-based motility called gliding, which depends on parasite actin polymerization, to migrate through their hosts and invade cells.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 The cytoplasmic actin isoforms (β- and γ-actins) contribute greatly to cellular processes such as cel-cell and cell-matrix interactions, as well as cell polarization, motility and division. Distinct isoforms modulations are linked to serious pathologies,

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

Cytoplasmic actin is an extracellular insect immune factor which is secreted upon immune challenge and mediates phagocytosis and direct killing of bacteria, and is a Plasmodium Antagonist. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Actin is a highly versatile, abundant, and conserved protein, with functions in a variety of intracellular processes. Here, we describe a novel role for insect cytoplasmic actin as an extracellular pathogen recognition factor that mediates antibacterial ...

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.
