The C‐Terminal Regions of TRAK Proteins Contain MIRO‐Independent Mitochondrial Localization Domains

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current models suggest that MIRO GTPases anchor cytoskeletal motors to the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). However, our previous findings indicate that the unconventional myosin, MYO19, interacts with MIRO weakly and that a MIRO‐independent MOM‐localizing domain interacts more tightly with the MOM.

The Influence of Drosophila Spire and Myosin V During Mid‐Oogenesis Is Independent of Their Direct Interaction

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

Myomaker and Myomixer are required for craniofacial myoblast fusion in zebrafish

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Craniofacial and trunk skeletal muscles are derived from different progenitor populations during development. Trunk skeletal muscles contain mostly multinucleated myofibers that are formed through myoblast fusion. However, myoblast fusion in craniofacial muscles and its molecular regulation are not well understood.

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.
