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.

Trends in Cell Biology, 1996 The most biologically significant property of actin is its ability to self-associate and form two-stranded polymeric microfilaments. In living cells, these micro filaments form the actin cytoskeleton, essential for maintenance of the shape, passive mechanical properties and active motility of eukaryotic cells. Recently discovered actin-related proteins

The structure and turnover of F-actins highly affects cadherin clustering.
, 2022 (A) Snapshots of simulations at 100 s with different orientations of F-actins shown on the top. For these simulations, we used , , , . (B-D) With variations in the orientation and lifetime of F-actins, we measured (B) the fraction of cadherin molecules ...

F1000Research, 2016 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

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2017 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 ...

Novel Actin Cytoskeleton. Actin Tubules.
Cell 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 ...

Polymerization kinetics of Plasmodium actins.
, 2023 a-d. Cc plots of Plasmodium actins in F-buffer. Cc plot of actin I after 1 h (nb = 2) (a) and 20 h (nb = 2) (b) of incubation at 4°C, using 0.002 to 10 μM actin. The data fit a single regression line in (a) and a segmented equation in (b). X0 agrees with

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 ...
