Actin Cytoskeleton and Golgi Involvement in Barley stripe mosaic virus Movement and Cell Wall Localization of Triple Gene Block Proteins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) induces massive actin filament thickening at the infection front of infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. To determine the mechanisms leading to actin remodeling, fluorescent protein fusions of the BSMV triple gene ...

Deimination, Intermediate Filaments and Associated Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Deimination (or citrullination) is a post-translational modification catalyzed by a calcium-dependent enzyme family of five peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs). Deimination is involved in physiological processes (cell differentiation, embryogenesis, innate and adaptive immunity, etc.) and in autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis ...

Histidine-Dependent Protein Methylation Is Required for Compartmentalization of CTP Synthase

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: CTP synthase (CTPS) forms compartmentalized filaments in response to substrate availability and environmental nutrient status. However, the physiological role of filaments and mechanisms for filament assembly are not well understood.

Construction and Loss of Bacterial Flagellar Filaments

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The bacterial flagellar filament is an extracellular tubular protein structure that acts as a propeller for bacterial swimming motility. It is connected to the membrane-anchored rotary bacterial flagellar motor through a short hook.

The F-actin filament capping protein CapG is a bona fide nucleolar protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Actin works in concert with myosin I to regulate the transcription of ribosomal genes in the nucleolus. Recently, nucleolar actin has been shown to be active in its polymeric form raising the question how actin dynamics is regulated in the nucleolus ...

The glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase-1 assembles into filaments. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Despite abundant knowledge of the regulation and biochemistry of glycolytic enzymes, we have limited understanding on how they are spatially organized in the cell.

A polymorphic helix of a Salmonella needle protein relays signals defining distinct steps in type III secretion.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2019
Type III protein-secretion machines are essential for the interactions of many pathogenic or symbiotic bacterial species with their respective eukaryotic hosts. The core component of these machines is the injectisome, a multiprotein complex that mediates

Effects of truncations in the N‐ and C‐terminal domains of filensin on filament formation with phakinin in cell‐free conditions and cultured cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2023
Filensin and phakinin are lens fiber cell‐specific proteins that constitute the beaded filaments (BFs) that are critical for maintaining lens transparency. In the Shumiya cataract rat, filensin 94 kDa undergoes N‐ and C‐terminal proteolytic processing to

A bacteriophage tubulin harnesses dynamic instability to center DNA in infected cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dynamic instability, polarity, and spatiotemporal organization are hallmarks of the microtubule cytoskeleton that allow formation of complex structures such as the eukaryotic spindle. No similar structure has been identified in prokaryotes.

Cryo-electron tomography structure of Arp2/3 complex in cells reveals new insights into the branch junction

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The actin-related protein (Arp)2/3 complex nucleates branched actin filament networks pivotal for cell migration, endocytosis and pathogen infection. Here, authors report a 9.0 Å resolution structure of the actin filament Arp2/3 complex branch junction ...
