S‐nitrosylation of cytoskeletal proteins [PDF]
Cytoskeleton, 2019 AbstractNitric oxide has pronounced effects on cellular functions normally associated with the cytoskeleton, including cell motility, shape, contraction, and mitosis. Protein S‐nitrosylation, the covalent addition of a NO group to a cysteine sulfur, is a signaling pathway for nitric oxide that acts in parallel to cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP ...

Cytoskeletal Proteins ofActinobacteria [PDF]
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2012 Although bacteria are considered the simplest life forms, we are now slowly unraveling their cellular complexity. Surprisingly, not only do bacterial cells have a cytoskeleton but also the building blocks are not very different from the cytoskeleton that our own cells use to grow and divide.

New Frontiers for the Cytoskeletal Protein LASP1 [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2018 In the recent two decades, LIM and SH3 protein 1 (LASP1) has been developed from a simple actin-binding structural protein to a tumor biomarker and subsequently to a complex, nuclear transcriptional regulator. Starting with a brief historical perspective, this review will mainly compare and contrast LASP1 and LASP2 from the angle of the newest data and

Intrinsic Structural Disorder in Cytoskeletal Proteins [PDF]
Cytoskeleton, 2013 Cytoskeleton, the internal scaffold of the cell, displays an exceptional combination of stability and dynamics. It is composed of three major filamentous networks, microfilaments (actin filaments), intermediate filaments (neurofilaments), and microtubules.

Cytoskeletal proteins: The evolution of cell division [PDF]
Current Biology, 1998 The prokaryotic cell division protein FtsZ and eukaryotic tubulin have been shown to have very similar structures and are most likely homologs. The evolutionary transition from FtsZ to tubulin could provide a window into the transition from prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells.

Cytoskeletal protein expression in planarians
Bolletino di zoologia, 1993 Abstract In freshwater planarians the existence of at least two major actin isoforms has been demonstrated. One isoform is expressed by differentiated muscle cells and is different from vertebrate α‐sarcomeric and α‐smooth actin. The other isoform is recognized by a specific anti warm‐blooded vertebrate α‐smooth muscle actin monoclonal antibody.

SHIP2 interaction with the cytoskeletal protein Vinexin [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2005 The src homology 2 (SH2) domain‐containing inositol 5‐phosphatase 2 (SHIP2) catalyses the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5‐trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3] to phosphatidylinositol 3,4‐bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4)P2]. We report the identification of the cytoskeletal protein Vinexin as a protein interacting with SHIP2.

Compartmentalization of neuronal cytoskeletal proteins
Bioscience Reports, 1983 Introduction The neuronal cytoskeJeton controls a myriad of functions in the adult and developing central nervous system including cell division, growth, motility, cellular shape, axonal and dendritic transport, neurosecretion, etc (1). The assembled fibrillar components of the neuronal cytoskeleton may be divided into microtubules (approx.

Run-and-pause dynamics of cytoskeletal motor proteins [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractCytoskeletal motor proteins are involved in major intracellular transport processes which are vital for maintaining appropriate cellular function. When attached to cytoskeletal filaments, the motor exhibits distinct states of motility: active motion along the filaments, and pause phase in which it remains stationary for a finite time interval ...

Cytoskeletal proteins and morphogenesis in planarians
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2006 Regeneration processes employ a series of differentiative events related to various embryonic morphogenetic phenomena in which the cytoskeleton plays a fundamental role. Planarians are an excellent model to study development mechanism because they show an exceptional physiological morphogenetic plasticity that is also at the basis of their ...
