Plasmid Segregation: A New Class of Cytoskeletal Proteins Emerges [PDF]
, 2006 The discovery that a plasmid-partitioning ATPase forms astral cytoskeletal structures both unveils a new family of cytoskeletal proteins and suggests that cytoskeletal involvement is a universal feature of DNA ...

Nitric oxide-caused rabbit chondrocyte apoptosis is linked to cytoskeletal protein proteolysis anomaly through intracellular JNK and ERK signal pathways [PDF]
, 2022 Backgrounds: Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in the pathological chondrocyte apoptosis of osteoarthritis (OA). Cytoskeletal proteins form cytoskeleton network to maintain normal chondrocyte structure and function.

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 ...

Retrograde transport of radiolabeled cytoskeletal proteins in transected nerves [PDF]
, 1994 Slow axonal transport is the mechanism by which cytoskeletal proteins are distributed within the axon. This function has traditionally been considered an exclusively unidirectional, anterograde process.

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.

Catching a Walker in the Act—DNA Partitioning by ParA Family of Proteins
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Partitioning the replicated genetic material is a crucial process in the cell cycle program of any life form. In bacteria, many plasmids utilize cytoskeletal proteins that include ParM and TubZ, the ancestors of the eukaryotic actin and tubulin ...

Abnormal expression of leiomyoma cytoskeletal proteins involved in cell migration [PDF]
, 2016 Uterine leiomyomas are monoclonal tumors. Several factors are involved in the neoplastic transformation of the myometrium. In our study we focused on dysregulated cytoskeletal proteins in the leiomyoma as compared to the myometrium. Paired tissue samples
