Basolateral Membrane-associated 27-kDa Heat Shock Protein and Microfilament Polymerization [PDF]
The in vivo activity of the 27-kDa heat shock protein, a barbed-end microfilament capping protein, may be localized to the plasma membrane. To investigate this putative association, bovine endothelial cells expressing the human wild type or a mutant nonphosphorylatable 27-kDa heat shock protein were subjected to subcellular fractionation and immunoblot

Proteomic profiling of rabbit embryonic stem cells derived from parthenotes and fertilized embryos. [PDF]
Rabbit embryonic stem (rES) cells can be derived from various sources of embryos. However, understanding of the gene expression profile, which distincts embryonic stem (ES) cells from other cell types, is still extremely limited.

Dephosphorylated but not phosphorylated microtubule associated protein MAP1B binds to microfilaments [PDF]
We have reported that purified native MAP1B interacts with microtubules but not with microfilaments [Pedrotti and Islam, Cell Motil. Cytoskel. (1995) 30, 301–309]. However, MAP1B can be phosphorylated at multiple sites by casein kinase II (CKII) and proline‐directed protein kinases (PDPK) and immunoblotting studies show that purified native MAP1B is ...

Characterization of Human Palladin, a Microfilament-associated Protein
Actin-containing microfilaments control cell shape, adhesion, and contraction. In striated muscle, α-actinin and other Z-disk proteins coordinate the organization and functions of actin filaments. In smooth muscle and nonmuscle cells, periodic structures termed dense bodies and dense regions, respectively, are thought to serve functions analogous to Z ...

Many bacterial pathogens can cause septicemia and spread from the bloodstream into internal organs. During leptospirosis, individuals are infected by contact with Leptospira-containing animal urine-contaminated water.

Firespike leafroll-associated virus (FLRaV) is a major pathogen associated with firespike (Odontonema tubaeforme) leafroll disease. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FLRaV possesses typical traits of subgroup II members of ampeloviruses, but encodes two ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Gastric cancer is considered to be one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide due to its high recurrence and metastasis rates. The molecule 23,24-Dihydrocucurbitacin E (DHCE) is a cucurbitacin-derived tetracyclic triterpenoid compound that ...

Profilin and actin-related proteins regulate microfilament dynamics during early mammalian embryogenesis [PDF]
Profilins are ubiquitous proteins widely distributed in animals, including humans. They regulate actin polymerization by sequestering actin monomers in association with other actin-related proteins (Arps). Actin remodelling is essential for oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo development; yet the role of profilins in these events is not well ...
