Reconstitution of Contractile FtsZ Rings in Liposomes
Science, 2008 FtsZ is a tubulin homolog and the major cytoskeletal protein in bacterial cell division. It assembles into the Z ring, which contains FtsZ and a dozen other division proteins, and constricts to divide the cell. We have constructed a membrane-targeted FtsZ (FtsZ-mts) by splicing an amphipathic helix to its C terminus.

Septin filament compaction into rings requires the anillin Mid2 and contractile ring constriction
Cell Reports, 2022 Septin filaments assemble into high-order molecular structures that associate with membranes, acting as diffusion barriers and scaffold proteins crucial for many cellular processes. How septin filaments organize in such structures is still not understood.

The Role of the Contractile Ring during Cytokinesis [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 Cytokinesis in animals and fungi involves constriction of an actomyosin contractile ring, but the constriction mechanisms and the role of the ring are not established. The constriction rate could be determined only by the properties and internal dynamics of the ring itself (a “dynamically autonomous” mechanism) as suggested by recent experiments on C ...

eLife, 2019 We previously discovered that competition between fission yeast actin binding proteins (ABPs) for binding F-actin facilitates their sorting to different cellular networks.

Quantitative analysis of cytokinesis in situ during C. elegans postembryonic development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The physical separation of a cell into two daughter cells during cytokinesis requires cell-intrinsic shape changes driven by a contractile ring. However, in vivo, cells interact with their environment, which includes other cells.

Stress generation and filament turnover during actin ring constriction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 We present a physical analysis of the dynamics and mechanics of contractile actin rings. In particular, we analyze the dynamics of ring contraction during cytokinesis in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo.

Analyzing Contractile Ring Dynamics in Mid-Embryogenesis of C. Elegans
, 2019 During cell division, a contractile ring made up of actin fibers, myosin motor ensembles, and cross linkers contracts to cleave one cell into two. How this large and complex molecular structure organizes and re-arranges as it constricts remains largely ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.
