Mechanoaccumulative Elements of the Mammalian Actin Cytoskeleton
To change shape, divide, form junctions, and migrate, cells reorganize their cytoskeletons in response to changing mechanical environments [1-4]. Actin cytoskeletal elements, including myosin II motors and actin crosslinkers, structurally remodel and activate signaling pathways in response to imposed stresses [5-9]. Recent studies demonstrate the importance of force-dependent structural rearran...
متن کاملA Cdc42-regulated actin cytoskeleton mediates Drosophila oocyte polarization.
Polarity of the Drosophila oocyte is essential for correct development of the egg and future embryo. The Par proteins Par-6, aPKC and Bazooka are needed to maintain oocyte polarity and localize to specific domains early in oocyte development. To date, no upstream regulator or mechanism for localization of the Par proteins in the oocyte has been identified. We have analyzed the role of the small...
متن کاملNeurofibromin-Deficient Astrocytes Dependent Actin Cytoskeleton Dynamics and Proliferation in − Nucleophosmin Mediates Mammalian Target of Rapamycin
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome in which affected individuals develop astrocytic brain tumors (gliomas). To determine how the NF1 gene product (neurofibromin) regulates astrocyte growth and motility relevant to glioma formation, we have used Nf1-deficient primary murine astrocytes. Nf1 / astrocytes exhibit increased protein translation...
متن کاملActin dynamics in living mammalian cells.
The actin cytoskeleton maintains the cellular architecture and mediates cell movements. To explore actin cytoskeletal dynamics, the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was fused to human &bgr ;-actin. The fusion protein was incorporated into actin fibers which became depolymerized upon cytochalasin B treatment. This functional EGFP-actin construct enabled observation of the actin cytoskel...
متن کاملDynamics of Mitochondria and Actin Cytoskeleton Interactions in Budding Yeast
In the budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, mitochondrial distribution involves movements of the organelle from the mother cell to the bud (anterograde movement) and from the bud to the mother (retrograde movement). Both types of movements require actin cables, dynamic bundles of F-actin filaments, which undergo continuous retrograde flow from the bud into the mother and provide tracks for mitochondri...
