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

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 ...

Emerging roles of cytoskeletal proteins in regulating gene expression and genome organization during differentiation [PDF]
Nucleus, 2020 In the eukaryotic cell nucleus, cytoskeletal proteins are emerging as essential players in nuclear function. In particular, actin regulates chromatin as part of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, it modulates transcription and it is ...

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.

LRCH proteins: a novel family of cytoskeletal regulators. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Comparative genomics has revealed an unexpected level of conservation for gene products across the evolution of animal species. However, the molecular function of only a few proteins has been investigated experimentally, and the role of many animal ...

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.

Nucleocytoplasmic Shuttling of Cytoskeletal Proteins: Molecular Mechanism and Biological Significance [PDF]
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2012 Various nuclear functional complexes contain cytoskeletal proteins as regulatory subunits; for example, nuclear actin participates in transcriptional complexes, and actin-related proteins are integral to chromatin remodeling complexes.
