The cytoskeletal protein talin is O-glycosylated. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
Talin is a 215-kDa cytoskeletal protein implicated in linking actin filaments to the plasma membrane. We show here that chicken gizzard talin is galactosylated by incubation with UDP-[3H]galactose and galactosyl-transferase. The labeled carbohydrate moiety is removed by beta-elimination and comigrates with Gal beta 1-4GlcNAcitol, indicating that talin ...

The cytoskeletal protein vinculin is acylated by myristic acid [PDF]

open access: yesCell Biology International Reports, 1987
In non‐muscle cells the mechanism by which microfilament bundles interact with the plasma membrane is unclear. Vinculin, a 130 kDa protein found in adhesion plaques, has been postulated to have a role as a membrane anchor for microfilaments and we have investigated the biochemistry of this molecule in more detail.

Assembly mechanisms of the bacterial cytoskeletal protein FilP [PDF]

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2019
Despite low-sequence homology, the intermediate filament (IF)–like protein FilP from Streptomyces coelicolor displays structural and biochemical similarities to the metazoan nuclear IF lamin. FilP, like IF proteins, is composed of central coiled-coil domains interrupted by short linkers and flanked by head and tail domains.

Cytoskeletal Protein 4.1R in Health and Diseases

open access: yesBiomolecules
The protein 4.1R is an essential component of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton, serving as a key structural element and contributing to the regulation of the membrane’s physical properties, including mechanical stability and deformability, through its interaction with spectrin–actin.

The slow axonal transport of cytoskeletal proteins

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Cell Biology, 1998
Once presumed to be relatively uniform, the axonal cytoskeleton can vary markedly in size and composition along its length. New studies emphasize the interactiveness of neurofilaments and identify a family of cytoskeletal proteins that may cross-link the various cytoskeletal polymers of the axon, and anchor this network to the membrane skeleton.

Cytoskeletal Proteins and Platelet Signaling [PDF]

open access: possibleThrombosis and Haemostasis, 2001
SummaryThe actin filament network fills the cytoplasm of unstimulated platelets and connects with a submembranous latticework of short cross-linked actin filaments, known as the membrane skeleton. One function of the cytoskeleton is to direct the contours of the membrane in the unstimulated platelet and the rapid changes in shape in the activated ...

Progesterone Receptor or Cytoskeletal Protein?

Reproductive Sciences, 2007
Immunoblotting is used to characterize the various nuclear progesterone receptor (nPR) isoforms present in tissues; however, the success of this technique is dependent on the specificity of the primary nPR antibody. The authors investigate the specificity of a frequently used nPR antibody, sc-538, in total protein from human myometrium and a myometrial

Turnover of cytoskeletal proteins in vivo

Brain Research, 1990
The turnover of the microtubule-associated proteins 1B and 2 (MAP1B and MAP2), tubulin, high molecular weight neurofilament protein (NF-H), and spectrin were studied by in vivo labeling. Radiolabeled [35S]methionine was injected intracranially to 10-day-old rats and the rate of turnover was measured for total and specific brain proteins.
