Sensor potency of the moonlighting enzyme-decorated cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 2013 Background: There is extensive evidence for the interaction of metabolic enzymes with the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. The significance of these interactions is far from clear.

Vimentin filaments are assembled from a soluble precursor in avian erythroid cells [PDF]
, 1983 The synthesis and assembly of vimentin was studied in erythroid cells from 10-d-old chicken embryos. After various periods of [35S]methionine incorporation, cells were lysed in a Triton X-100-containing buffer and separated into a soluble and an ...

Cytoskeletal disorganization underlies PABPN1-mediated myogenic disability
Scientific Reports, 2020 Muscle wasting and atrophy are regulated by multiple molecular processes, including mRNA processing. Reduced levels of the polyadenylation binding protein nucleus 1 (PABPN1), a multifactorial regulator of mRNA processing, cause muscle atrophy.

NEURONIC SYSTEM INSIDE NEURONS: MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND BIOPHYSICS OF NEURONAL MICROTUBULES [PDF]
, 2004 Neurons are highly specialized cells that input, process, store and output information. Interneuronal communication is achieved in four basic ways: (i) Ca2+ evoked exocytosis with chemical neurotransmission, (ii) gap junction electrotonic coupling, (iii)

The spectrin cytoskeleton is crucial for adherent and invasive bacterial pathogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Various enteric bacterial pathogens target the host cell cytoskeletal machinery as a crucial event in their pathogenesis. Despite thorough studies detailing strategies microbes use to exploit these components of the host cell, the role of the spectrin ...

The Plasma Membrane Potential and the Organization of the Actin Cytoskeleton of Epithelial Cells
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2012 The establishment and maintenance of the polarized epithelial phenotype require a characteristic organization of the cytoskeletal components. There are many cellular effectors involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells.
