Cordon-Bleu: A New Taste in Actin Nucleation
Polymerization of actin filaments powers many dynamic cellular events and is directed by a small group of actin nucleators. In this issue, Ahuja et al. (2007) identify and characterize a new actin nucleator called cordon-bleu (Cobl) that may drive morphogenesis of the central nervous system during development.
متن کاملCordon-Bleu Is an Actin Nucleation Factor and Controls Neuronal Morphology
Despite the wealth of different actin structures formed, only two actin nucleation factors are well established in vertebrates: the Arp2/3 complex and formins. Here, we describe a further nucleator, cordon-bleu (Cobl). Cobl is a brain-enriched protein using three Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein homology 2 (WH2) domains for actin binding. Cobl promotes nonbundled, unbranched filaments. Filament...
متن کاملCordon-Bleu uses WH2 domains as multifunctional dynamizers of actin filament assembly.
Cordon-Bleu is, like Spire, a member of the growing family of WH2 repeat proteins, which emerge as versatile regulators of actin dynamics. They are expressed in morphogenetic and patterning processes and nucleate actin assembly in vitro. Here, we show that Cordon-Bleu works as a dynamizer of actin assembly by combining many properties of profilin with weak filament nucleating and powerful filam...
متن کاملCordon bleu promotes the assembly of brush border microvilli
Microvilli are actin-based protrusions found on the surface of diverse cell types, where they amplify membrane area and mediate interactions with the external environment. In the intestinal tract, these protrusions play central roles in nutrient absorption and host defense and are therefore essential for maintaining homeostasis. However, the mechanisms controlling microvillar assembly remain po...
متن کاملan investigation of the impact of self monitoring on langauge teachers motivational practice and its effect on learners motivation
the central purpose of this study was to conduct a case study about the role of self monitoring in teacher’s use of motivational strategies. furthermore it focused on how these strategies affected students’ motivational behavior. although many studies have been done to investigate teachers’ motivational strategies use (cheng & d?rnyei, 2007; d?rnyei & csizer, 1998; green, 2001, guilloteaux & d?...
