Intermediate filament–membrane attachments function synergistically with actin-dependent contacts to regulate intercellular adhesive strength [PDF]

, 2002
By tethering intermediate filaments (IFs) to sites of intercellular adhesion, desmosomes facilitate formation of a supercellular scaffold that imparts mechanical strength to a tissue.

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

Effects of C-protein on synthetic myosin filament structure [PDF]

, 1979
In the absence of C-protein, synthetic filaments prepared from column-purified myosin exhibit the following features: individual filament diameters are uniform over a long length, but a wide distribution of diameters is apparent over the population ...

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

The actin-binding protein profilin II in neuronal plasticity [PDF]

, 2006
Activity-dependent plasticity in neurons involves changes in synaptic transmission and connectivity. These changes lead to altered neuronal circuit properties and are thought to underlie learning and memory.

Superhelical architecture of the myosin filament-linking protein myomesin with unusual elastic properties.

PLoS Biology, 2012
Active muscles generate substantial mechanical forces by the contraction/relaxation cycle, and, to maintain an ordered state, they require molecular structures of extraordinary stability. These forces are sensed and buffered by unusually long and elastic

MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

Filament-based particle picking.

Particle picks along a helical filament generated by blik. Starting from simple points picked manually along the desired path (orange points) and using the filament widget (on the right), a spline representation is computed (grey) and used to generate ...

Prognostic Value of Neurofilament Light Chain and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein in ALD‐Related Myelopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X‐ALD) is a neurometabolic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ABCD1, leading to slowly progressive spinal cord disease in nearly all affected men. Sensitive biomarkers to quantify disease severity and predict progression are needed for clinical care and trial design.
