Small GTPases are the key to actin cytoskeleton signaling, which opens the lock of effector proteins to forward the signal downstream in several cellular pathways. Actin cytoskeleton assembly is associated with cell polarity, adhesion, movement and other

Glass Transition in a 2D Lattice Model [PDF]
The dynamics of compaction of hard cross-shaped pentamers on the 2D square lattice is investigated. The addition of new particles is controlled by diffusive relaxation. It is shown that the filling process terminates at a glassy phase with a limiting coverage density \rho_{rcp}=0.171626(3), lower than the density of closest packing \rho_{cp}=0.2, and ...

Citron binds to PSD-95 at glutamatergic synapses on inhibitory neurons in the hippocampus [PDF]
Synaptic NMDA-type glutamate receptors are anchored to the second of three PDZ (PSD-95/Discs large/ZO-1) domains in the postsynaptic density (PSD) protein PSD-95.

RhoA and Rac1 in Liver Cancer Cells: Induction of Overexpression Using Mechanical Stimulation
Liver cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is an aggressive disease with an extremely high mortality rate. Unfortunately, no promising markers are currently available for the early diagnosis of this disease.

Sensor potency of the moonlighting enzyme-decorated cytoskeleton [PDF]
Background: There is extensive evidence for the interaction of metabolic enzymes with the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. The significance of these interactions is far from clear.

Roles of Rap1 signaling in tumor cell migration and invasion
Ras-associated protein-1 (Rap1), a small GTPase in the Ras-related protein family, is an important regulator of basic cellular functions (e.g., formation and control of cell adhesions and junctions), cellular migration, and polarization.

On the possibility of extending the Nore-Frenkel generalized law of correspondent states to non-isotropic patchy interactions [PDF]
Colloidal systems (and protein solutions) are often characterized by attractive interactions whose range is much smaller than the particle size. When this is the case and the interaction is spherical, systems obey a generalized law of correspondent states (GLCS), first proposed by Noro and Frenkel [ J.Chem.Phys. 113, 2941 (2000) ].
