The role of the cortical cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 1996
We generated Dictyostelium double mutants lacking the two F-actin crosslinking proteins alpha-actinin and gelation factor by inactivating the corresponding genes via homologous recombination.

Shigella flexneri utilize the spectrin cytoskeleton during invasion and comet tail generation

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background The spectrin cytoskeleton is emerging as an important host cell target of enteric bacterial pathogens. Recent studies have identified a crucial role for spectrin and its associated proteins during key pathogenic processes of Listeria ...

Crosstalk between Mitochondria and Cytoskeleton in Cardiac Cells

Cells, 2020
Elucidation of the mitochondrial regulatory mechanisms for the understanding of muscle bioenergetics and the role of mitochondria is a fundamental problem in cellular physiology and pathophysiology. The cytoskeleton (microtubules, intermediate filaments,

Glucocorticoids Preferentially Influence Expression of Nucleoskeletal Actin Network and Cell Adhesive Proteins in Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Clinical use of glucocorticoids is associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), a major risk factor for glaucoma. Glucocorticoids have been reported to induce changes in actin cytoskeletal organization, cell adhesion, extracellular matrix ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Aluminum induces the in vitro aggregation of bovine brain cytoskeletal proteins [PDF]

, 1990
The addition of aluminum to purified cytoskeletal proteins in vitro selectively induces the aggregation of highly phosphorylated proteins, such as the two larger neurofilament subunits (200 and 160 kDa) and the microtubule-associated proteins of the MAP ...

Quantifying cytoskeletal protein interactions with far Western blotting

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
The study of cytoskeletal proteins has been limited by some of their intrinsic properties, such as fixed intracellular localization and insolubility, which limit the implementation of many protein–protein interaction assays.

Neural stem cells over-expressing brain-derived neurotrophic factor promote neuronal survival and cytoskeletal protein expression in traumatic brain injury sites

Neural Regeneration Research, 2017
Cytoskeletal proteins are involved in neuronal survival. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor can increase expression of cytoskeletal proteins during regeneration after axonal injury.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Special issue on 'Cytoskeletal proteins in health and neurodegenerative disease' [PDF]

, 2016
The cytoskeleton is the major intracellular structure that determines the morphology of neurons and maintains their structural integrity. It is therefore not surprising that a disturbance of cytoskeletal structure and functionunderlies many ...
