Cytoskeletal and adhesion proteins as tumor suppressors
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1997In the past year, significant progress has been made in the attempt to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying signaling that is induced by cell-cell and cell-extracellular-matrix adhesion and that involves the cytoskeleton. In particular, molecules of the cytoplasmic plaques of cell-cell junctions have been shown to complex with transcription ...

Regulation of Synthesis of Cytoskeletal Proteins
1988As discussed in Chapter 5, the cytoskeleton regulates the organization of cytoplasm. At the same time, the state of the cytoskeleton is continuously regulated by a complex of controlling cellular mechanisms. These regulations are essential both for maintenance of the steady state of the cytoskeleton and for reorganization of the cytoskeleton which can ...

TDP-43 and Cytoskeletal Proteins in ALS
Molecular Neurobiology, 2017Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represents a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by a degeneration of motor neurons. Motor neurons are particularly susceptible to selective and early degeneration because of their extended axon length and their dependency on the cytoskeleton for its stability, signaling, and axonal ...

Formin Family Proteins in Cytoskeletal Control
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2000Functions of the cell cortex, including motility, adhesion, and cytokinesis, are mediated by the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. The assembly of the cytoskeletal components at cortical sites is regulated dynamically in a temporal and spatial manner.

Glial shape and cytoskeletal protein synthesis
Neurochemical Research, 1992We investigated whether the shape of astroglial derived cells influences the expression of cytoskeletal proteins. In reaggregating cultures GFAP, vimentin and actin synthesis was approximately 52%, 50% and 37% the level found in monolayer cultures, respectively.

Cytoskeletal functions of cytoplasmic contractile proteins
Journal of Supramolecular Structure, 1976AbstractThis is a review of the evidence that the cytoplasmic contractile proteins function as a cytoskeletal system inthe cytoplasmic matrix. Biochemical experiments show that cycoplasmic actin filaments can form a solid gel under conditions likely to exist in living cells. The actin filaments are associated with other proteins which may stabilize the

Monoclonal Antibodies to Cytoskeletal Proteins
1984Cytoskeletal proteins are found, as a general rule, in highly organized arrays within the cytoplasm of higher eukaryotic cells. The three filamentous networks that comprise the cytoskeleton are the microfilaments, composed of actin and many accessory proteins; the microtubules, composed of tubulin and several accessory proteins; and the intermediate ...

Mica Surface Promotes the Assembly of Cytoskeletal Proteins
Langmuir, 2009We report the surface-mediated polymerization of FtsZ protein, the prokaryote homologue of tubulin, by AFM. FtsZ protein can form filaments on mica whereas the bulk FtsZ concentration is orders of magnitude lower than the critical concentration. Surface polymerization is favored by a local increase in protein concentration and requires a high mobility ...

Cytoskeletal proteins of the aging human lens
Current Eye Research, 1984The cytoskeletal proteins of the human lens were studied by SDS-PAGE, 2-D electrophoresis and immunologically. Spectrin, vimentin and actin were identified in the superficial fiber cells of human lenses even to age 87 years. These proteins are lost from the deeper cortical and nuclear fiber cells, where a broad zone of acidic protein (36-42 Kd) emerges
