Cellular regulation of actin network assembly
Actin is a defining feature of eukaryotes, where it commonly is one of the most abundant proteins. Actin filaments participate in biological processes ranging from amoeboid movements of protozoa and human white blood cells to muscle contraction. Some of these processes including muscle contraction and cytokinesis require motor proteins of the myosin family, which move along actin filament track...
متن کاملCellular Motility Driven by Assembly and Disassembly of Actin Filaments
Motile cells extend a leading edge by assembling a branched network of actin filaments that produces physical force as the polymers grow beneath the plasma membrane. A core set of proteins including actin, Arp2/3 complex, profilin, capping protein, and ADF/cofilin can reconstitute the process in vitro, and mathematical models of the constituent reactions predict the rate of motion. Signaling pa...
متن کاملViral Replication Protein Inhibits Cellular Cofilin Actin Depolymerization Factor to Regulate the Actin Network and Promote Viral Replicase Assembly
RNA viruses exploit host cells by co-opting host factors and lipids and escaping host antiviral responses. Previous genome-wide screens with Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) in the model host yeast have identified 18 cellular genes that are part of the actin network. In this paper, we show that the p33 viral replication factor interacts with the cellular cofilin (Cof1p), which is an actin depoly...
متن کاملCell-cycle regulation of formin-mediated actin cable assembly.
Assembly of appropriately oriented actin cables nucleated by formin proteins is necessary for many biological processes in diverse eukaryotes. However, compared with knowledge of how nucleation of dendritic actin filament arrays by the actin-related protein-2/3 complex is regulated, the in vivo regulatory mechanisms for actin cable formation are less clear. To gain insights into mechanisms for ...
متن کاملRegulation of intracellular actin polymerization by prenylated cellular proteins
Posttranslational modification by covalent attachment of polyisoprene intermediates to a carboxyterminal CAAX-box motif is required for the biologic function of proteins such as p21ras, the supergene family of ras-related proteins, nuclear lamins, and subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. Cells grown in the presence of lovastatin, which inhibits HMG-CoA reductase and prevents synthesis of inte...
