Structural Compartments within Neurons: Developmentally Regulated Organization of Microfilament Isoform mRNA and Protein

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 1998
The microfilament system is thought to be a crucial cytoskeletal component regulating development and mature function of neurons. The intracellular distribution of the microfilament isoform components, actin and tropomyosin (Tm), in neurons primarily in vivo, has been investigated at both the mRNA and the protein level using isoform specific riboprobes

Early changes in the distribution and organization of microfilament proteins during cell transformation

Cell, 1981
During the onset of transformation, Rous sarcoma virus-infected cells undergo characteristic morphological changes that reflect the biochemical events induced by the viral src gene. Temperature downshift experiments using chick embryo cells infected with transformation-defective temperature-sensitive viral mutants have shown two major morphological ...

Protein kinase C affects microfilaments, bone resorption, and [Ca2+]o sensing in cultured osteoclasts

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1992
The effects of protein kinase C (PKC) in the control of osteoclast activity are still unknown. We investigated the role of the enzyme in the control of microfilament organization, podosome assembly, bone resorption, and extracellular Ca2+ sensing in chicken and rabbit osteoclasts treated with agents known to affect PKC activity. Cells were treated for

Phalloidin shift on velocity sedimentation sucrose gradient centrifugation for identification of microfilament-associated proteins

Experimental Cell Research, 1985
Velocity sedimentation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation has been used to characterize ascites microvillar microfilament cores and to identify microfilament-associated proteins. Fluoride, calcium, phalloidin and chemical cross-linking treatments of microvilli during Triton X-100 extractions increase the sedimentation rate of the microfilament ...

Cortical microfilament proteins and the dynamics of the plasma membrane.

Acta histochemica. Supplementband, 1992
The microfilament system is thought to provide motor elements needed for plasma membrane dynamics. This article focuses on two protein components that may play key roles in this process: (1) Profilin, a G-actin binding protein which is considered as the source of actin subunits necessary for rapid changes in the amount of actin filaments.

Anti-microfilament IgG Antibodies in Normal Adults and in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases: Immunofluorescence and Immunoblotting Analysis of 201 Subjects Reveals Polyreactivity with Microfilament-Associated Proteins

Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, 1995
We have investigated IgG antibodies to microfilament-associated proteins in sera from 29 normal controls and from 172 patients with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (n = 45), systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 43), polymyositis/dermatomyositis (n = 36), systemic sclerosis (n = 35), and autoimmune chronic active hepatitis (CAH, n = 13 ...

Allosterically Activated Protein Self‐Assembly for the Construction of Helical Microfilaments with Tunable Helicity

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018
AbstractProtein allostery, a chemical‐to‐mechanical effect that can precisely regulate protein structure, exists in many proteins. Herein, we demonstrate that protein allostery can be used to drive self‐assembly for the construction of tunable protein architectures. Calmodulin (CaM) was chosen as a model allosteric protein. Ca2+‐mediated contraction of

Deregulation of genes encoding microfilament-associated proteins during Fos-induced morphological transformation.

Oncogene, 1995
The mechanism of Fos-induced transformation is still poorly understood. In the present study, we have asked whether genes whose products play a role in determining cell morphology might become deregulated in the course of Fos-induced transformation. A clear up-regulation in Fos-transformed rat fibroblasts was seen with ezrin, as well as tropomyosin (TM)

Identification and isolation of Cryptosporidium parvum genes encoding microtubule and microfilament proteins.

The Journal of protozoology, 1992
Microtubules and microfilaments are highly conserved cytoskeletal polymers hypothesized to play essential biomechanical roles in the unusual gliding motility of Apicomplexan zoites and in their invasion of, and development within, host epithelial cells. We have identified and isolated Cryptosporidium parvum genes encoding the microtubule proteins alpha-
