Cytoskeletal Proteins of Actinobacteria [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

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 ...

Much More Than a Scaffold: Cytoskeletal Proteins in Neurological Disorders [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Recent observations related to the structure of the cytoskeleton in neurons and novel cytoskeletal abnormalities involved in the pathophysiology of some neurological diseases are changing our view on the function of the cytoskeletal proteins in the ...

Sex hormones regulate cytoskeletal proteins involved in brain plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2015 In the brain of female mammals, including humans, a number of physiological and behavioral changes occur as a result of sex hormone exposure. Estradiol and progesterone regulate several brain functions including learning and memory.

Cytoskeletal Proteins in Cancer and Intracellular Stress: A Therapeutic Perspective. [PDF]
Cancers (Basel), 2020 Cytoskeletal proteins, which consist of different sub-families of proteins including microtubules, actin and intermediate filaments, are essential for survival and cellular processes in both normal as well as cancer cells. However, in cancer cells, these

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 in the cell nucleus: a special nuclear actin perspective. [PDF]
Mol Biol Cell, 2019 The emerging role of cytoskeletal proteins in the cell nucleus has become a new frontier in cell biology. Actin and actin-binding proteins regulate chromatin and gene expression, but importantly they are beginning to be essential players in genome ...

RBC-NOS-dependent S-nitrosylation of cytoskeletal proteins improves RBC deformability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Red blood cells (RBC) possess a nitric oxide synthase (RBC-NOS) whose activation depends on the PI3-kinase/Akt kinase pathway. RBC-NOS-produced NO exhibits important biological functions like maintaining RBC deformability.

Steroidal glycoalkaloids from Solanum nigrum target cytoskeletal proteins: an in silico analysis. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Solanum nigrum (black nightshade; S. nigrum), a member of family Solanaceae, has been endowed with a heterogeneous array of secondary metabolites of which the steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) and steroidal saponins (SS) have vast potential to ...
