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 ...

Actin and Actin-Binding Proteins [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016 Organisms from all domains of life depend on filaments of the protein actin to provide structure and to support internal movements. Many eukaryotic cells use forces produced by actin polymerization for their motility, and myosin motor proteins use ATP hydrolysis to produce force on actin filaments.

Novel Actin Cytoskeleton. Actin Tubules.
Cell Structure and Function, 2000 In spores of Dictyostelium discoideum three actin filaments are bundled to form a novel tubular structure and the tubules are then organized into rods. These tubular structures we will term actin tubules. Actin tubules are reconstructed from the supernatant of spore homogenates, while the usual actin filaments were bundled after incubation of ...

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).

F1000Research, 2016 Higher vertebrates express six different highly conserved actin isoforms that can be classified in three subgroups: 1) sarcomeric actins, α-skeletal (α-SKA) and α-cardiac (α-CAA), 2) smooth muscle actins (SMAs), α-SMA and γ-SMA, and 3) cytoplasmic actins

Computational prediction of actin–actin interaction [PDF]
Molecular Biology Reports, 2013 Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells, where it plays key roles in cell shape, motility, and regulation. Actin is found in globular (G) and filamentous (F) structure in the cell. The helix of actin occurs as a result of polymerization of monomeric G-actin molecules through sequential rowing, is called F-actin.

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2017 Background Teleosts represent unique features in the regulation of muscle development and growth, with a great deal of myogenic plasticity. Muscle actins are major components to compose muscle fibers, and they play essential roles in cellular mobility ...

eLife, 2016 New insights into the structure of filaments made of crenactin, a homolog of actin found in archaea, shed light on how the cytoskeleton might have evolved.

A method for rapidly screening functionality of actin mutants and tagged actins [PDF]
Biological Procedures Online, 2004 Recombinant production and biochemical analysis of actin mutants has been hampered by the fact that actin has an absolute requirement for the eukaryotic chaperone CCT to reach its native state.
