Pharmacological Inhibition of β Myosin II Disrupts Sarcomere Assembly in Human iPSC‐Derived Cardiac Myocytes

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sarcomeres are the fundamental contractile units of striated muscle. The functional roles of the cardiac‐specific myosin heavy chains, MYH6 (α myosin II) and MYH7 (β myosin II) during sarcomere assembly remain controversial. To address this, we utilized a selective MYH7 inhibitor, mavacamten, in combination with siRNA‐mediated knockdown of ...

Actin Filament Pointed Ends: Assays for Regulation of Assembly and Disassembly by Tropomodulin and Tropomyosin

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Actin filaments are dynamic polymers whose length depends on regulated monomer association and dissociation at their ends. Actin barbed‐end dynamics are relatively better understood, primarily due to the approximately tenfold faster subunit on/off rates at barbed versus pointed ends.

Phosphorylation at the Helm: Kinase‐Mediated Regulation of Primary Cilia Assembly and Disassembly

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary cilium serves as an antenna of most vertebrate cells and is important for conveying cues from several signaling pathways into appropriate cellular responses during development and homeostasis. Cilia assembly and disassembly processes are thought to be strictly controlled; however, the precise nature of molecular events underlying ...

The PP2A‐B56 Binding Site LxxIxE Contributes to Asp‐Mediated Spindle Pole Stability

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The organization of microtubules into a mitotic spindle is critical for animal cell proliferation and involves the cooperation of hundreds of proteins whose molecular roles and regulation are not fully understood. The protein product of the Drosophila gene abnormal spindle, Asp, is a microtubule‐associated protein required for correct mitotic ...

Conserved Phosphorylation of the Myosin1e TH1 Domain Impacts Membrane Association and Function in Yeast and Worms

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells have an intrinsic ability to rapidly respond to environmental change to regulate cell cycle progression and membrane organisation, thereby affecting cell growth and division. The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic complex of proteins that can rapidly reorganise to change the growth pattern of a cell.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

open access: yesCytoskeleton, 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.
