Cytoskeleton dynamics
Four of six talks in the Cytoskeleton Dynamics Minisymposium described work on filament end-binding proteins: a reflection of the central role they play in cytoskeletal organization. Scott Hansen's single-molecule study of purified vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) demonstrated that it is a weakly processive actin polymerase that is targeted to filament ends by actin monomers. Hansen...
متن کاملCytoskeleton dynamics in axon regeneration
Recent years have seen cytoskeleton dynamics emerging as a key player in axon regeneration. The cytoskeleton, in particular microtubules and actin, ensures the growth of neuronal processes and maintains the singular, highly polarized shape of neurons. Following injury, adult central axons are tipped by a dystrophic structure, the retraction bulb, which prevents their regeneration. Abnormal cyto...
متن کاملPattern formation and handedness in the cytoskeleton of human platelets.
The cytoskeletal patterns of human platelets spread on a glass surface are analyzed. F-actin is arranged in patterns of parallel microfilaments, microfilaments forming triangles, or microfilaments radiating tangentially from a central ellipse or circle. Vinculin, a cytoskeletal protein, is located at both ends of the filaments. In platelets with tangentially radiating microfilaments, vinculin p...
متن کاملReciprocal transmembranous receptor-cytoskeleton interactions in concanavalin A-activated platelets
Concanavalin A (Con A) has been used to activate platelets, inducing a specific interaction between the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex and the cytoskeleton of the activated platelet. In agreement with this, we have shown that Con A activates human platelets, initiating phosphorylation, secretion, and cytoskeletal formation. Con A and cytochalasin B were used to demonstrate a reciprocal interacti...
متن کاملCytoskeleton of human platelets at rest and after spreading
The fine structure of resting and activated platelets was compared using two approaches novel to this dense cytoplasm. First, rapid lysis of platelets on carbon-coated grids was following by negative staining of the "cytoskeleton." Second, a brief, minimal fixation of platelets in plasma was coupled with partial lysis and examination of the unstained whole mounts at 200 kV. The results showed t...
