The Chlamydia trachomatis Early Effector Tarp Outcompetes Fascin in Forming F-Actin Bundles In Vivo
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 The intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis secretes multiple early effectors into the host cell to promote invasion. A key early effector during host cell entry, Tarp (translocated actin-recruiting phosphoprotein) is comprised of multiple protein ...

Molecular mechanism for direct actin force-sensing by α-catenin
eLife, 2020 The actin cytoskeleton mediates mechanical coupling between cells and their tissue microenvironments. The architecture and composition of actin networks are modulated by force; however, it is unclear how interactions between actin filaments (F-actin) and

F-actin in conifer roots [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1982 The distribution of F-actin in the complex tissues of a higher plant organ has been visualized by fluorescence labeling the roots of the conifers Chamaecyparis obtusa and Pseudotsuga menziesii with F-actin-specific fluorescent dye-conjugated phallicidin.

Nuclear Actin Polymerization Regulates Cell Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition
Advanced Science, 2023 Current studies on actin function primarily rely on cytoplasmic actin due to the absence of cellular models specifically expressing nuclear actin. Here, cell models capable of expressing varying levels of nuclear F/G‐actin are generated and a significant

Mechanics of the F-actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2010 Dynamic regulation of the filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton is critical to numerous physical cellular processes, including cell adhesion, migration and division. Each of these processes require precise regulation of cell shape and mechanical force generation which, to a large degree, is regulated by the dynamic mechanical behaviors of a diverse ...

Adhesive F-actin waves: a novel integrin-mediated adhesion complex coupled to ventral actin polymerization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 At the leading lamellipodium of migrating cells, protrusion of an Arp2/3-nucleated actin network is coupled to formation of integrin-based adhesions, suggesting that Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization and integrin-dependent adhesion may be ...

Actin polymerization and depolymerization in developing vertebrates
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Development is a complex process that occurs throughout the life cycle. F-actin, a major component of the cytoskeleton, is essential for the morphogenesis of tissues and organs during development.

Tracer Studies on F-Actin Fluctuations [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2002 We present a study on the fluctuations of semiflexible actin filaments using fluorescence videomicroscopy, focusing on the end-to-end fluctuations of single filaments. In order to specifically measure the position of the polymer's ends, we developed a novel noninvasive method that consists of annealing short end tags to the filaments. This allows us to

F-Actin Dynamics in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Eukaryotic Cell, 2010 ABSTRACT This study demonstrates the utility of Lifeact for the investigation of actin dynamics in Neurospora crassa and also represents the first report of simultaneous live-cell imaging of the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons in filamentous fungi.
