Confinement induces actin flow in a meiotic cytoplasm.
In vivo, F-actin flows are observed at different cell life stages and participate in various developmental processes during asymmetric divisions in vertebrate oocytes, cell migration, or wound healing. Here, we show that confinement has a dramatic effect on F-actin spatiotemporal organization. We reconstitute in vitro the spontaneous generation of F-actin flow using Xenopus meiotic extracts art...
متن کاملMobility of filamentous actin in living cytoplasm
Filamentous actin in living cultured cells was labeled by microinjecting trace amounts of rhodamine-phalloidin (rh-pha) as a specific, high-affinity probe. The microinjection caused no detectable effect on cell morphology or cell division. The distribution of rh-pha-labeled filaments was then examined in dividing cells using image-intensified fluorescence microscopy, and the exchangeability of ...
متن کاملBuilding Distinct Actin Filament Networks in a Common Cytoplasm
Eukaryotic cells generate a diversity of actin filament networks in a common cytoplasm to optimally perform functions such as cell motility, cell adhesion, endocytosis and cytokinesis. Each of these networks maintains precise mechanical and dynamic properties by autonomously controlling the composition of its interacting proteins and spatial organization of its actin filaments. In this review, ...
متن کاملDynamics of native β-actin mRNA transport in the cytoplasm.
Transport of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the cytoplasm is essential for localization to translation sites and for post-transcriptional regulation. Utilizing single-RNA sensitive probes and real-time fluorescence microscopy, we accurately quantified the dynamics of native, non-engineered, β-actin mRNAs within the cytoplasm of epithelial cells and fibroblasts for the first time. Using single-partic...
متن کاملTRF2 is in neuroglial cytoplasm and induces neurite-like processes.
TRF2 is a ubiquitous protein that protects telomeres in the nucleus. We found that TRF2 was present at the peripheral nerve axons and the brain neuroglial cell processes extensively. It was in the cytoplasmic membrane as well as nuclear fractions, but not in the soluble cytoplasmic fraction of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. TRF2 was up-regulated in P19 embryonal carcinoma cells at the early stage...
