Regulation of actin cytoskeleton via photolithographic micropatterning

open access: yesJournal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2023
Actin cytoskeleton plays crucial roles in various cellular functions. Extracellular matrix (ECM) can modulate cell morphology by remodeling the internal cytoskeleton.

Erythroid anion transporter assembly is mediated by a developmentally regulated recruitment onto a preassembled membrane cytoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Analysis of the expression and assembly of the anion transporter by metabolic pulse-chase and steady-state protein and RNA measurements reveals that the extent of association of band 3 with the membrane cytoskeleton varies during chicken embryonic ...

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Affecting Microtubule Dynamics in Normal and Cancer Cells

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Microtubules (MTs), highly dynamic structures composed of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers, are involved in cell movement and intracellular traffic and are essential for cell division.

Prognostic significance of CKAP2L expression in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Background: Cytoskeleton-associated protein 2-like protein (CKAP2L) is thought to promote the progression of glioma, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. However, the role of cytoskeleton-associated protein 2-like protein in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Actin Cytoskeleton and Golgi Involvement in Barley stripe mosaic virus Movement and Cell Wall Localization of Triple Gene Block Proteins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) induces massive actin filament thickening at the infection front of infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. To determine the mechanisms leading to actin remodeling, fluorescent protein fusions of the BSMV triple gene ...

Actin Cytoskeleton Straddling the Immunological Synapse between Cytotoxic Lymphocytes and Cancer Cells

open access: yesCells, 2019
The immune system is a fundamental part of the tumor microenvironment. In particular, cytotoxic lymphocytes, such as cytolytic T cells and natural killer cells, control tumor growth and disease progression by interacting and eliminating tumor cells.

A New Quantitative Cell-Based Assay Reveals Unexpected Microtubule Stabilizing Activity of Certain Kinase Inhibitors, Clinically Approved or in the Process of Approval

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Agents able to modify microtubule dynamics are important anticancer drugs. The absence of microtubules resulting from drug-induced depolymerization is easy to detect.

DNA damage and repair: underlying mechanisms leading to microcephaly

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
DNA-damaging agents and endogenous DNA damage constantly harm genome integrity. Under genotoxic stress conditions, the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery is crucial in repairing lesions and preventing mutations in the basic structure of the DNA ...

The actin-myosin regulatory MRCK kinases: regulation, biological functions and associations with human cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The contractile actin-myosin cytoskeleton provides much of the force required for numerous cellular activities such as motility, adhesion, cytokinesis and changes in morphology.

Dynamics of a Bilayer Membrane Coupled to a Two-dimensional Cytoskeleton: Scale Transfers of Membrane Deformations

open access: yes, 2017
We theoretically investigate the dynamics of a floating lipid bilayer membrane coupled with a two-dimensional cytoskeleton network, taking into explicitly account the intermonolayer friction, the discrete lattice structure of the cytoskeleton, and its ...
