Insect muscle actins differ distinctly from invertebrate and vertebrate cytoplasmic actins
, 1992 Invertebrate actins resemble vertebrate cytoplasmic actins, and the distinction between muscle and cytoplasmic actins in invertebrates is not well established as for vertebrate actins.

The Actin Cytoskeleton and Actin-Based Motility [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2018 The actin cytoskeleton-a collection of actin filaments with their accessory and regulatory proteins-is the primary force-generating machinery in the cell. It can produce pushing (protrusive) forces through coordinated polymerization of multiple actin filaments or pulling (contractile) forces through sliding actin filaments along bipolar filaments of ...

Post-translational modification of actins synthesized in vitro
, 1979 It has been shown in two different ways that beta and gamma actins synthesized in vitro are acetylated and that the minor species of actin, delta and epsilon, are nonacetylated forms of beta and gamma actin, respectively.

Identification of actins in foraminifera: Phylogenetic perspectives
, 1995 Actin was identified by immunoblotting with two monoclonal antibodies in 13 species of foraminifera representing four major taxonomic groups (Allogromiina, Textulariina, Rotaliina and Miliolina).

A novel microfluidic flow-cytometry for counting numbers of single-cell β-actins
Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering, 2020 As a house keeping protein with stable expressions, β-actin is used as a loading control in normalization of western blotting. However, the actual numbers of β-actins at the single-cell level remain elusive.

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.

Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a biflagellated cell with two actin genes: one encoding a conventional actin (IDA5) and the other encoding a divergent novel actin-like protein (NAP1).

PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Actin is one of the most conserved and ubiquitous proteins in eukaryotes. Its sequence has been highly conserved for its monomers to self-assemble into filaments that mediate essential cell functions such as trafficking, cell shape and motility.
