Raver1, a dual compartment protein, is a ligand for PTB/hnRNPI and microfilament attachment proteins [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2001 By screening a yeast two-hybrid library with COOH-terminal fragments of vinculin/metavinculin as the bait, we identified a new protein termed raver1. Raver1 is an 80-kD multidomain protein and widely expressed but to varying amounts in different cell ...

The Significant Role of the Microfilament System in Tumors
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Actin is the structural protein of microfilaments, and it usually exists in two forms: monomer and polymer. Among them, monomer actin is a spherical molecule composed of a polypeptide chain, also known as spherical actin.

Cytoplasmic Streaming in Plant Cells Emerges Naturally by Microfilament Self-Organization [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 110 (35), 14132-14137 (2013), 2013 Many cells exhibit large-scale active circulation of their entire fluid contents, a process termed cytoplasmic streaming. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in plant cells, often presenting strikingly regimented flow patterns.

Regulation of Apicomplexan Microfilament Dynamics by a Minimal Set of Actin‐Binding Proteins [PDF]
Traffic, 2006 Efficient and rapid host cell invasion is a prerequisite for an intracellular parasitic life style. Pathogens typically induce receptor‐mediated endocytosis and hijack the force‐transducing system of a host cell to gain access to a replication‐competent niche.

The roles of microfilament-associated proteins, drebrins, in brain morphogenesis: a review. [PDF]
Journal of Biochemistry, 1995 The cytoskeleton has been suggested to be one of the important endogenous factors that control neuronal morphogenesis. Analysis of the developmental changes in the protein composition of the brain led to the discovery of novel developmentally regulated ...

The chromosomal passenger protein birc5b organizes microfilaments and germ plasm in the zebrafish embryo. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Microtubule-microfilament interactions are important for cytokinesis and subcellular localization of proteins and mRNAs. In the early zebrafish embryo, astral microtubule-microfilament interactions also facilitate a stereotypic segregation pattern of ...
