Structural differences explain diverse functions of Plasmodium actins. [PDF]
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 ...

Differential Support of Aspergillus fumigatus Morphogenesis by Yeast and Human Actins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The actin cytoskeleton is highly conserved among eukaryotes and is essential for cellular processes regulating growth and differentiation. In fungi, filamentous actin (F-actin) orchestrates hyphal tip structure and extension via organization of exocytic ...

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).

Conservation of conformational dynamics across prokaryotic actins.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2019 The actin family of cytoskeletal proteins is essential to the physiology of virtually all archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. While X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy have revealed structural homologies among actin-family proteins, these ...

Structural and Phylogenetic Profiles of Muscle Actins from Cephalopods [PDF]
, 2021 Structural properties of cephalopod muscle actins have not been characterized in detail to date. Sequences of these actins have been determined by cDNA cloning from the arm muscles of four cephalopod species, namely, Japanese common squid Todarodes ...

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 ...

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.

The Cytoplasmic Actins in the Regulation of Endothelial Cell Function
, 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.

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.
