Cell Cycle Regulation of Myosin-V by Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II

, 2001
Organelle transport by myosin-V is down-regulated during mitosis, presumably by myosin-V phosphorylation. We used mass spectrometry phosphopeptide mapping to show that the tail of myosin-V was phosphorylated in mitotic Xenopus

Substrate stiffness regulates cell fate and its applications in the repair of motor system: From two dimensions to three dimensions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Substrate stiffness with different dimensions (2D and 3D) exerts a regulatory role in cellular behaviors, thereby governing cell fate decisions. Biomaterials with tunable stiffness exhibit substantial functional potential for the repair and regeneration of the motor system.

DNA Nanotechnology Meets Peptide and Protein Self‐Assembly

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Combining DNA nanotechnology with peptide and protein assembly provides complementary platforms for the rational engineering of functional biomaterials. This Perspective discusses the emerging field of self‐assembling DNA‐peptide and DNA‐protein hybrid systems that combine the structural precision and programmability of DNA nanotechnology with the ...

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.

Labeling Strategies for Monitoring Cytoskeleton Dynamics in Cultured Epithelial Cells

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective cell migration relies on coordinated cytoskeletal remodeling, yet the impact of live‐cell actin filament probes on these dynamics remains poorly characterized. Here, we systematically compared the performance and cellular effects of fluorogenic jasplakinolide‐based probes, SiR‐actin and SiR‐XActin, with the genetically encoded ...

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: from genetic insights to a multimodal therapeutic approach with mavacamten, aficamten, and beyond

The Egyptian Heart Journal
Background A cardiac condition marked by excessive growth of heart muscle cells, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, microvascular ischemia, myocardial fibrosis, and diastolic ...

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Breaking the link between morphology and potency for mESCs

Cell & Bioscience
Background In stem cell biology, a long-held structure–function relationship is the domed colony morphology and naïve pluripotency for mouse or human pluripotent stem cells. This link has provided a convenient way to recognize bona fide naïve pluripotent
