Emerging Functions of Actins and Actin Binding Proteins in Trypanosomatids
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Actin is the major protein constituent of the cytoskeleton that performs wide range of cellular functions. It exists in monomeric and filamentous forms, dynamics of which is regulated by a large repertoire of actin binding proteins. However, not much was

Native PAGE analysis of the Plasmodium actins and α-actin.
, 2014 (A) Plasmodium actins I (lanes 1–4 and 9) and II (lanes 5–8 and 10) form small oligomers upon storage and after exchange of ATP to ADP. Both parasite actins were studied by native PAGE immediately and 48 h after purification in both ATP and ADP forms ...

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018 Two independent studies now show that polymerization of branched actin at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) mediates chromatin dynamics associated with homology-directed repair and is required for a robust and error-free DSB repair process.

The origins of phagocytosis and eukaryogenesis
Biology Direct, 2009 Background Phagocytosis, that is, engulfment of large particles by eukaryotic cells, is found in diverse organisms and is often thought to be central to the very origin of the eukaryotic cell, in particular, for the acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts

Pimobendan B from powder diffraction data
Acta Crystallographica Section E, 2013 The title molecule, C19H18N4O2 {systematic name: (RS)-6-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-5-methyl-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one}, adopts an extended conformation. The dihedral angles between the central benzimidazole ring sytem and the pendant

Involvement of β- and γ-actin isoforms in actin cytoskeleton organization and migration abilities of bleb-forming human colon cancer cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Amoeboid movement is characteristic for rounded cells, which do not form strong adhesion contacts with the ECM and use blebs as migratory protrusions. It is well known that actin is the main component of mature forms of these structures, but the exact ...

α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015 α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2 gene, is an isoform of the vascular smooth muscle actins, typically expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells contributing to vascular motility and contraction. ACTA2 gene mutations cause a diversity of diffuse

Conservation of conformational dynamics across prokaryotic actins
, 2018 The actin family of cytoskeletal proteins is essential to the physiology of virtually all archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. While X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy have revealed structural homologies among actin-family proteins, these ...
