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 ...

Myosin: Formation and maintenance of thick filaments [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Science Journal, 2019
AbstractSkeletal muscle consists of bundles of myofibers containing millions of myofibrils, each of which is formed of longitudinally aligned sarcomere structures. Sarcomeres are the minimum contractile unit, which mainly consists of four components: Z‐bands, thin filaments, thick filaments, and connectin/titin.

The Contributions of the Amino and Carboxy Terminal Domains of Flightin to the Biomechanical Properties of Drosophila Flight Muscle Thick Filaments

open access: yesBiology, 2016
Flightin is a myosin binding protein present in Pancrustacea. In Drosophila, flightin is expressed in the indirect flight muscles (IFM), where it is required for the flexural rigidity, structural integrity, and length determination of thick filaments ...

CryoEM structure of Drosophila flight muscle thick filaments at 7 Å resolution

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2020
Relaxed thick filaments from Drosophila flight muscle show disordered myosin heads, a ribbon arrangement of myosin tails and a novel protein, stretchin-klp, on the filament surface.

Characterization of Electromagnetic Pulses Generated from Plasma Associated with Laser Filaments-Excited Aluminum Alloy Interaction

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Femtosecond laser filament-generated plasma can generate electromagnetic pulses (EMPs). These pulses may reduce the instrument’s precision, and, hence, influence the accuracy of the experimental results.

The ubiquitin ligase Ozz decreases the replacement rate of embryonic myosin in myofibrils

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
Myosin, the most abundant myofibrillar protein in skeletal muscle, functions as a motor protein in muscle contraction. Myosin polymerizes into the thick filaments in the sarcomere where approximately 50% of embryonic myosin (Myh3) are replaced within 3 h

Generation of an Adequate Perfusion Network within Dense Collagen Hydrogels Using Thermoplastic Polymers as Sacrificial Matrix to Promote Cell Viability

open access: yesBioengineering, 2022
Dense collagen hydrogels are promising biomaterials for several tissue-engineering applications. They exhibit high mechanical properties, similar to physiological extracellular matrices, and do not shrink under cellular activity.

IRIS Observations of the Mg II h & k Lines During a Solar Flare [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The bulk of the radiative output of a solar flare is emitted from the chromosphere, which produces enhancements in the optical and UV continuum, and in many lines, both optically thick and thin. We have, until very recently, lacked observations of two of

Distinct contributions of the thin and thick filaments to length-dependent activation in heart muscle

open access: yeseLife, 2017
The Frank-Starling relation is a fundamental auto-regulatory property of the heart that ensures the volume of blood ejected in each heartbeat is matched to the extent of venous filling. At the cellular level, heart muscle cells generate higher force when

Microscopic basis for pattern formation and anomalous transport in two-dimensional active gels

open access: yes, 2010
Active gels are a class of biologically-relevant material containing embedded agents that spontaneously generate forces acting on a sparse filament network.
