Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Stochastic modeling of cargo transport by teams of molecular motors

, 2013
Many different types of cellular cargos are transported bidirectionally along microtubules by teams of molecular motors. The motion of this cargo-motors system has been experimentally characterized in vivo as processive with rather persistent ...

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Cytoskeleton: A catastrophic kinesin [PDF]

Current Biology, 1996
The 'plus' ends of microtubules exhibit dynamic instability, switching stochastically from growth to shortening phases. The first endogenous regulator of such 'catastrophes' has been identified, and is a kinesin-related microtubule motor protein.

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]

, 2013
In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

A standardized kinesin nomenclature [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2004
In recent years the kinesin superfamily has become so large that several different naming schemes have emerged, leading to confusion and miscommunication. Here, we set forth a standardized kinesin nomenclature based on 14 family designations. The scheme unifies all previous phylogenies and nomenclature proposals, while allowing individual sequence ...

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...
