The intron-containing gene for yeast profilin (PFY) encodes a vital function [PDF]
, 1988 The gene coding for profilin (PFY), an actin-binding protein, occurs as a single copy in the haploid genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is required for spore germination and cell viability.

Microvascular pericytes contain muscle and nonmuscle actins
Journal of Cell Biology, 1985 We have affinity-fractionated rabbit antiactin immunoglobulins (IgG) into classes that bind preferentially to either muscle or nonmuscle actins. The pools of muscle- and nonmuscle-specific actin antibodies were used in conjunction with fluorescence ...

CCT4 promotes tunneling nanotube formation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are membranous tunnel‐like structures that transport molecules and organelles between cells. They vary in thickness, and thick nanotubes often contain microtubules in addition to actin fibers. We found that cells expressing monomeric CCT4 generate many thick TNTs with tubulin.

Vacuolar transport and function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sterol ester hydrolase Tgl1
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Tgl1, one of yeast sterol ester hydrolases, had been found on the lipid droplets where sterol esters are mainly stored. This study revealed that Tgl1 is transported into the vacuole depending on the ESCRT‐I–III complex, and that it exhibits intra‐vacuolar sterol ester hydrolase activity.

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.

NAA80 is actin’s N-terminal acetyltransferase and regulates cytoskeleton assembly and cell motility [PDF]
, 2018 Actin, one of the most abundant proteins in nature, participates in countless cellular functions ranging from organelle trafficking and pathogen motility to cell migration and regulation of gene transcription.

FEBS 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

Ontological Realism and Classification: Structures and Concepts in the Gene Ontology [PDF]
, 2014 The Gene Ontology (GO), a scientific vocabulary widely used in molecular biology databases, is examined by an analysis of its structure, a comparison of its principles to those of traditional controlled vocabularies, and by a detailed analysis of a ...

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.
