Dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton
Cellular processes, including morphogenesis, polarization, and motility, rely on a variety of actin-based structures. Although the biochemical composition and filament organization of these structures are different, they often emerge from a common origin. This is possible because the actin structures are highly dynamic. Indeed, they assemble, grow, and disassemble in a time scale of a second to...
متن کاملTaking control: reorganization of the host cytoskeleton by Chlamydia
Both actin and microtubules are major cytoskeletal elements in eukaryotic cells that participate in many cellular processes, including cell division and motility, vesicle and organelle movement, and the maintenance of cell shape. Inside its host cell, the human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis manipulates the cytoskeleton to promote its survival and enhance its pathogenicity. In particular, Chlam...
متن کاملHuman metapneumovirus Induces Reorganization of the Actin Cytoskeleton for Direct Cell-to-Cell Spread
Paramyxovirus spread generally involves assembly of individual viral particles which then infect target cells. We show that infection of human bronchial airway cells with human metapneumovirus (HMPV), a recently identified paramyxovirus which causes significant respiratory disease, results in formation of intercellular extensions and extensive networks of branched cell-associated filaments. For...
متن کاملCytoskeleton Reorganization as an Alternative Mechanism of Store-Operated Calcium Entry Control in Neuroendocrine-Differentiated Cells
Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) is a hallmark of advanced androgen-independent prostate cancer, for which no successful therapy exists. NED tumour cells escape apoptotic cell death by alterations of Ca(2+) homeostasis where the store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is known to be a key event. We have previously shown that the downregulation of Orai1 protein representing the major molecular co...
متن کاملReorganization of the cytoskeleton during Drosophila oogenesis: implications for axis specification and intercellular transport.
Inhibitor studies have implicated microtubules in at least three important developmental processes during Drosophila oogenesis: oocyte determination and growth during stages 1 through 6, positioning of the anterior determinant bicoid mRNA during stages 9 through 12, and ooplasmic streaming during stages 10b through 12. We have used fluorescence cytochemistry together with laser scanning confoca...
