Baculovirus Expression and Functional Analysis of Vpa2 Proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis

open access: yesToxins, 2020
The mode of action underlying the insecticidal activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) binary pesticidal protein Vpb/Vpa (formerly Vip1/Vip2) is uncertain. In this study, three recombinant baculoviruses were constructed using Bac-to-Bac technology to

Role of MAP kinase and myosin light chain kinase in chromosome-induced development of mouse egg polarity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
During maturation, the mouse oocyte is transformed into a highly polarized egg, characterized by an actin cap and cortical granule-free domain (CGFD) overlying the meiotic spindle that is in close proximity to the cortex.

Actin-membrane interaction in fibroblasts: what proteins are involved in this association? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
In this review we discuss some of the proteins for which a role in linking actin to the fibroblast plasma membrane has been suggested. We focus on the family of proteins related to erythrocyte spectrin, proteins that have generally been viewed as ...

Myosin and the PAR proteins polarize microfilament-dependent forces that shape and position mitotic spindles in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2003
In Caenorhabditis elegans, the partitioning proteins (PARs), microfilaments (MFs), dynein, dynactin, and a nonmuscle myosin II all localize to the cortex of early embryonic cells. Both the PARs and the actomyosin cytoskeleton are required to polarize the

Current Advances of Antibacterial Biomaterials for Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Effective treatment of infectious bone defects requires not only robust bone regeneration, but also the elimination of bacterial infection. This review highlights current cutting‐edge concepts and innovations in synthetic bone repair biomaterials and antibacterial bone repair materials, aiming to promote clinical translation and inspire broader ...

A functional link between the actin cytoskeleton and lipid rafts during budding of filamentous influenza virions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Morphogenesis of influenza virus is a poorly understood process that produces two types of enveloped virion: ∼100-nm spheres and similar diameter filaments that reach 20 μm in length.

3D‐Printed Biomimetic Vascular Scaffold Crosslinked with Heparan Sulfate for Sustained Release of PDGFB‐LG4 Fusion Protein Promotes Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusion protein PDGFB‐LG4 exhibits superior osteoinductive and angiogenic activity compared to PDGFB. The PCLHS‐PDGFB‐LG4 scaffold, featuring perfusable and permeable vascular‐like networks, promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis through the sustained release of PDGFB‐LG4, thereby accelerating the bone defect repair process.

Caldesmon regulates actin dynamics to influence cranial neural crest migration in Xenopus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Caldesmon (CaD) is an important actin modulator that associates with actin filaments to regulate cell morphology and motility. Although extensively studied in cultured cells, there is little functional information regarding the role of CaD in migrating ...

Bistability in the synchronization of actuated microfilaments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cilia and flagella are essential building blocks for biological fluid transport and locomotion at the micron scale. They often beat in synchrony and may transition between different synchronization modes in the same cell type. Here, we investigate the behavior of elastic microfilaments, protruding from a surface and driven at their base by a ...
