Nuclear actin and myosins in adenovirus infection [PDF]
Adenovirus serotypes have been shown to cause drastic changes in nuclear organization, including the transcription machinery, during infection. This ability of adenovirus to subvert transcription in the host cell facilitates viral replication.

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

RNA interference in marine and freshwater sponges [PDF]
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.,

The actinome of Dictyostelium discoideum in comparison to actins and actin-related proteins from other organisms. [PDF]
Actin belongs to the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells which harbor usually many conventional actin isoforms as well as actin-related proteins (Arps).

Induction of Cytokinin-Independent Tobacco Tissues by Substituted Fluorenes [PDF]
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.

Coupling of actin hydrolysis and polymerization: Reduced description with two nucleotide states [PDF]
The polymerization of actin filaments is coupled to the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which involves both the cleavage of ATP and the release of inorganic phosphate. We describe hydrolysis by a reduced two-state model with a cooperative cleavage mechanism, where the cleavage rate depends on the state of the neighboring actin protomer in a

Stability domains of actin genes and genomic evolution
In eukaryotic genes the protein coding sequence is split into several fragments, the exons, separated by non-coding DNA stretches, the introns. Prokaryotes do not have introns in their genome.

1. From molecules to morphologyMetazoan development is often viewed as a series ofinformation processing events in which the genomecomputes where and when to synthesize particular geneproducts. Importantly, development is also a feat ofengineering in which genetic information is used to changecell shape and cell–cell interactions to generate form ...

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 ...
