Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins control cilia length through regulation of actin polymerisation. [PDF]
, 2012 Primary cilia are cellular appendages important for signal transduction and sensing the environment. Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins form a complex that is important for several cytoskeleton-related processes such as ciliogenesis, cell migration and ...

Motile Cilia in Female and Male Reproductive Tracts and Fertility
CellsMotile cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles. In humans, multiciliated cells (MCCs), assembling several hundred motile cilia on their apical surface, are components of the monolayer epithelia lining lower and upper airways, brain ventricles, and ...

The Journal of PhysiologyAbstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis. Although much is known about the mechanisms by which the cytoskeleton is regulated under physiological conditions, the effect of pathological stimuli and how this contributes to ...

Cell Biology International, 2003 AbstractNot only eukaryotes, but also prokaryotes possess a cytoskeleton. Tubulin‐related bacterial protein FtsZ, and actin‐related bacterial proteins MreB/Mbl have recently been described as constituents of bacterial cytoskeletons. Genes coding for MreB/Mbl could only be found in elongated bacteria, not in coccoid forms.

Cytoskeleton as an Emerging Target of Anthrax Toxins
Toxins, 2012 Bacillus anthracis, the agent of anthrax, has gained virulence through its exotoxins produced by vegetative bacilli and is composed of three components forming lethal toxin (LT) and edema toxin (ET).

Visualization and Manipulation of Actin Cytoskeleton with Small-Molecular Probes
, 2020 Actin is a ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein, forming a dynamic network that generates mechanical forces in the cell. Here, in order to dissect the complex mechanisms of actin-related cellular functions, we introduce two powerful tools based on a new class

Distinct temporal recruitment of Plasmodium alveolins to the subpellicular network. [PDF]
, 2014 The zoite stages of malaria parasites (merozoite, ookinete and sporozoite) possess a distinctive cortical structure termed the pellicle, which is defined by a double membrane layer named the inner membrane complex (IMC).

The septin cytoskeleton is associated with distinct myelin structures of the central and peripheral nervous system [PDF]
, 2008 Rapid conduction of nerve impulses in the nervous system of higher vertebrates is made possible by ensheathment of nerve fibers by the specialized plasma membrane structure myelin. Consequently, failure of myelination or damage to the myelin sheath leads

Heterogeneity of radial spoke components in Tetrahymena cilia
Cellular and Molecular Life SciencesRadial spokes, RS1, RS2, and RS3, are T-shaped, multiprotein complexes that transmit regulatory signals from the central apparatus to outer doublet complexes, including dynein arms.
