Claudins

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2012
I am pretty sure that I don’t have to spend a single word to talk about the role played by tight junctions in biological processes and in keeping alive the cellular bases of life !

Epithelial Protein Lost in Neoplasm α (Eplin-α) is transcriptionally regulated by G-actin and MAL/MRTF coactivators

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2010
Epithelial Protein Lost in Neoplasm α is a novel cytoskeleton-associated tumor suppressor whose expression inversely correlates with cell growth, motility, invasion and cancer mortality.

Oligodendrocytes in a nutshell

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). While the phrase is oft repeated and holds true, the last few years have borne witness to radical change in our understanding of this unique cell type.

High-resolution yeast actin structures indicate the molecular mechanism of actin filament stiffening by cations

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Actin filament assembly and the regulation of its mechanical properties are fundamental processes essential for eukaryotic cell function. Residue E167 in vertebrate actins forms an inter-subunit salt bridge with residue K61 of the adjacent subunit ...

Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Venacava: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2019
Leiomyosarcoma of inferior venacava is a rare tumor. Female are most commonly affected and middle segment of inferior vena cava is the commonest site. The diagnosis can sometimes be challenging as patients present with non-specific symptoms. We present a

Atomic view into Plasmodium actin polymerization, ATP hydrolysis, and fragmentation.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2019
Plasmodium actins form very short filaments and have a noncanonical link between ATP hydrolysis and polymerization. Long filaments are detrimental to the parasites, but the structural factors constraining Plasmodium microfilament lengths have remained ...

Multiple essential functions of Plasmodium falciparum actin-1 during malaria blood-stage development

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2017
Background The phylum Apicomplexa includes intracellular parasites causing immense global disease burden, the deadliest of them being the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which invades and replicates within erythrocytes.

Actin and DNA protect histones from degradation by bacterial proteases but inhibit their antimicrobial activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Histones are small polycationic proteins located in the cell nucleus. Together, DNA and histones are integral constituents of the nucleosomes. Upon apoptosis, necrosis and infection - induced cell death, histones are released from the cell.

Multiple actin isotypes in plants: diverse genes for diverse roles?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Plant actins are encoded by a gene family. Despite the crucial significance of the actin cytoskeleton for plant structure and function, the importance of individual actin isotypes and their specific roles in various plant tissues or even single cells is ...
