Actin cytoskeleton: Thinking globally, actin’ locally
A class of proteins dubbed pipmodulins bind to and sequester the phospholipid PIP2 in the plasma membrane. Local release of PIP2 controls actin dynamics in specific subcellular regions and plays a critical role in regulating actin-based cell motility and morphogenesis.
متن کاملBacterial Cell Wall: Thinking Globally, Actin Locally
The bacterial actin-like protein MreB is thought to form a continuous helical polymer at the membrane to confer rod shape. Two new studies now show that MreB forms discrete dynamic patches that travel circumferentially.
متن کاملActing Locally but Thinking Globally
Sensor networks are, above all, embedded systems. The embedding of the nodes in physical space provides novel opportunities for wide-area sensing and monitoring that are unique to this technology and have generated a lot of excitement. At the same time, the very same dispersion in the environment generates a number challenges that need to be addressed, including power limitations because of unt...
متن کاملVisualising the actin cytoskeleton.
The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic filamentous network whose formation and remodeling underlies the fundamental processes of cell motility and shape determination. To serve these roles, different compartments of the actin cytoskeleton engage in forming specific coupling sites between neighbouring cells and with the underlying matrix, which themselves serve signal transducing functions. In this...
متن کاملVision: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally
The global structure of images profoundly influences how we see their local detail, consistent with activity in primary visual cortex being disambiguated via feedback from later visual areas.
