Retinoids, Thymosins, Actin and Apoptosis
Interleukin-le converting enzyme (ICE)-like proteases, which are synthesised as inactive precursors, play a key role in the induction of apoptosis. A number of ICE homologues have now been identified including CPP32, Ich-1, MchZ and Mch3. We now show that in both human monocytic tumor THP.1 cells, exposed to apoptotic stimuli and Jurkat T cells exposed to anti-Fas, cleavage of the 32-kd precurs...
متن کاملCytoskeletal proteins F-actin and β-dystrobrevin are altered by the cryopreservation process in bull sperm.
The cryopreservation process has an important impact on sperm structure and physiology. The negative effects have been mainly observed on the plasma membrane, which is directly stabilized by the cytoskeleton. Since cytoskeleton proteins are osmosensitive and thermosensitive, the aim of this study was to evaluate the damage caused to the bull sperm cytoskeleton by cryopreservation (freezing-thaw...
متن کاملβ-Thymosins and Hemocyte Homeostasis in a Crustacean
Thymosin proteins are well known for their actin-binding activity. Thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) has been associated with biological activities in tissue repair and cell migration via interaction with ATP-synthase in vertebrates, while the information of similar thymosin functions in invertebrates is limited. We have shown previously that ATP-synthase is present on the surface of crayfish hematopoietic...
متن کاملActin cytoskeleton: Are FH proteins local organizers?
The FH proteins, defined by the presence of 'formin homology' regions, are important for a number of actin-dependent processes, including polarized cell growth and cytokinesis. They are large, probably multi-domain, proteins and their function may be in part mediated by an interaction with profilin.
متن کاملSimple Priced Timed Games are not That Simple
Priced timed games are two-player zero-sum games played on priced timed automata (whose locations and transitions are labeled by weights modeling the costs of spending time in a state and executing an action, respectively). The goals of the players are to minimise and maximise the cost to reach a target location, respectively. We consider priced timed games with one clock and arbitrary (positiv...
