Catastrophic disassembly of actin filaments via Mical-mediated oxidation. [PDF]
, 2017 Actin filament assembly and disassembly are vital for cell functions. MICAL Redox enzymes are important post-translational effectors of actin that stereo-specifically oxidize actin's M44 and M47 residues to induce cellular F-actin disassembly.

Induction of Cytokinin-Independent Tobacco Tissues by Substituted Fluorenes [PDF]
, 1971 Two morphactins and three aminofluorenes initiated the formation of compact tissue nodules in hormone-dependent tobacco callus cultures. These nodules, upon subculture, behaved like partially transformed plant tumors.

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.

Localization of actin in Dictyostelium amebas by immunofluorescence [PDF]
, 1977 Antibody prepared against avian smooth muscle actin has been used to localize actin in the slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. The distribution of actin in migrating cells is different from that in feeding cells.

RNA interference in marine and freshwater sponges [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The marine sponge Tethya wilhelma and the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri are emerging model organisms to study evolution, gene regulation, development, and physiology in non-bilaterian animal systems. Thus far, functional methods (i.e.,

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 ...
