Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Agent‐Based Computational Modeling of the Stochastic Dynamic Behavior of Actin Filaments Recapitulates the Homeostatic Cortical Array in Plant Epidermal Cells

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The homeostatic cortical actin array in plant cells plays important roles in fundamental processes, including intracellular transport, secretion, cell expansion, and cytoplasmic streaming. In response to diverse chemical and mechanical signals, the cortical array can remodel within minutes to assume new configurations or altered filament ...

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Isoform Specificity of a Compound Targeting Actin Filaments Containing Tropomyosin Tpm1.8/1.9

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unbranched actin filaments in mammalian cells are usually composed of co‐polymers of a specific tropomyosin isoform with actin. Genetic manipulation has revealed that the tropomyosins largely define the functional properties of actin filaments in an isoform‐specific, non‐redundant manner.
