Novel Actin Cytoskeleton. Actin Tubules.

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2000
In spores of Dictyostelium discoideum three actin filaments are bundled to form a novel tubular structure and the tubules are then organized into rods. These tubular structures we will term actin tubules. Actin tubules are reconstructed from the supernatant of spore homogenates, while the usual actin filaments were bundled after incubation of ...

Localization of actin in Dictyostelium amebas by immunofluorescence [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Computational prediction of actin–actin interaction [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Partially Redundant Actin Genes in Chlamydomonas Control Transition Zone Organization and Flagellum-Directed Traffic

open access: yesCell 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).

Orchestrated control of filaggrin-actin scaffolds underpins cornification. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
