Rapid production of pure recombinant actin isoforms in Pichia pastoris [PDF]
, 2018 Actins are major eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins, which perform many important cell functions, including cell division, cell polarity, wound healing, and muscle contraction.

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 intron-containing gene for yeast profilin (PFY) encodes a vital function [PDF]
, 1988 The gene coding for profilin (PFY), an actin-binding protein, occurs as a single copy in the haploid genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is required for spore germination and cell viability.

Pattern formation in polymerising actin flocks: spirals, spots and waves without nonlinear chemistry [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 238002 (2016), 2016 We propose a model solely based on actin treadmilling and polymerisation which describes many characteristic states of actin wave formation: spots, spirals and travelling waves. In our model, as in experiments on cell recovering motility following actin depolymerisation, we choose an isotropic low density initial condition; polymerisation of actin ...

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018 Two independent studies now show that polymerization of branched actin at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) mediates chromatin dynamics associated with homology-directed repair and is required for a robust and error-free DSB repair process.

My career in molecular biology [PDF]
, 2002 Norman Davidson's training as a physical chemist led him to make key early contributions to the chemistry of DNA. He described the details of DNA denaturation and renaturation, concepts that still form the basis for understanding hybridization.

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.

Effect of overexpression of β- and γ-actin isoforms on actin cytoskeleton organization and migration of human colon cancer cells [PDF]
, 2014 Actins are eukaryotic proteins, which are involved in diverse cellular functions including muscle contraction, cell motility, adhesion and maintenance of cell shape.

Actin isoforms and neoplastic transformation
Успехи молекулярной онкологии, 2017 The cytoplasmic actins (β and γ) play crucial roles during key cellular processes like adhesion, migration, polarization and cytokinesis. The understanding of their specific underlying mechanisms would be of major relevance not only for fundamental ...

Mechanical Behavior of Axonal Actin, Spectrin, and Their Periodic Structure: A Brief Review [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Actin and spectrin are important constituents of axonal cytoskeleton. Periodic actin and spectrin structures are found in dendrites, initial segment of axon, and main axon. Actin and spectrin periodicity has been hypothesized to be manipulating the axon stability and mechanical behavior.
