Microvascular pericytes contain muscle and nonmuscle actins

open access: yes, 2018
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 ...

Multiple essential functions of Plasmodium falciparum actin-1 during malaria blood-stage development

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2017
Background The phylum Apicomplexa includes intracellular parasites causing immense global disease burden, the deadliest of them being the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which invades and replicates within erythrocytes.

Actin and DNA protect histones from degradation by bacterial proteases but inhibit their antimicrobial activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Histones are small polycationic proteins located in the cell nucleus. Together, DNA and histones are integral constituents of the nucleosomes. Upon apoptosis, necrosis and infection - induced cell death, histones are released from the cell.

Act8 from D. discoideum was used as a query sequence in a blast comparison with the genomes from ten other prominent model organisms.

open access: yes, 2013
The best hits and their scores show extreme homologies even to mammalian actins.

Multiple actin isotypes in plants: diverse genes for diverse roles?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Plant actins are encoded by a gene family. Despite the crucial significance of the actin cytoskeleton for plant structure and function, the importance of individual actin isotypes and their specific roles in various plant tissues or even single cells is ...

Induction of anti-actin drug resistance in Tetrahymena

open access: yes, 2002
Both cytochalasin D and latrunculin B reversibly inhibited Tetrahymena phagocytosis at concentrations similar to those effective in mammalian systems, even though ciliate actins are known to be highly divergent from mammalian actins.

Reappearance of the minor α-sarcomeric actins in postnatal muscle

open access: yes, 1997
The postnatal expression profiles of α-sarcomeric actin transcripts and protein are quantified in mouse striated muscles from birth to postnatal day 56 by Northern and Western blot analyses. α-Cardiac actin (α-CA) transcripts transiently increase between

Rapid Nucleotide Exchange Renders Asp-11 Mutant Actins Resistant to Depolymerizing Activity of Cofilin, Leading to Dominant Toxicity in Vivo [PDF]

open access: yes
application/pdfConserved Asp-11 of actin is a part of the nucleotide binding pocket, and its mutation to Gln is dominant lethal in yeast, whereas the mutation to Asn in human alpha-actin dominantly causes congenital myopathy.
