Fesselin, a synaptopodin-like protein, stimulates actin nucleation and polymerization.
Fesselin is a proline-rich actin binding protein that has recently been isolated from smooth muscle [Leinweber, B. D., Fredricksen, R. S., Hoffman, D. R., and Chalovich, J. M. (1999) J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 20, 539-545]. Fesselin is similar to synaptopodin [Mundel, P., Heid, H. W., Mundel, T. M., Krüger, M., Reiser, J., and Kriz, W. (1997) J. Cell Biol. 139, 193-204] in terms of its size, is...
متن کاملActing like Actin
The crawling movement of eukaryotic cells requires establishment of cell polarity, extension of the leading edge, attachment to the substratum, and retraction of the cell body. Each of these events depends on the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton that are orchestrated by a host of signaling molecules and actin-binding proteins. Indeed, amoeboid cell motility involves so many biochemical compon...
متن کاملFtsA forms actin-like protofilaments.
FtsA is an early component of the Z-ring, the structure that divides most bacteria, formed by tubulin-like FtsZ. FtsA belongs to the actin family of proteins, showing an unusual subdomain architecture. Here we reconstitute the tethering of FtsZ to the membrane via FtsA's C-terminal amphipathic helix in vitro using Thermotoga maritima proteins. A crystal structure of the FtsA:FtsZ interaction re...
متن کاملThe bacterial actin-like cytoskeleton.
Recent advances have shown conclusively that bacterial cells possess distant but true homologues of actin (MreB, ParM, and the recently uncovered MamK protein). Despite weak amino acid sequence similarity, MreB and ParM exhibit high structural homology to actin. Just like F-actin in eukaryotes, MreB and ParM assemble into highly dynamic filamentous structures in vivo and in vitro. MreB-like pro...
متن کاملSprue-like Intestinal Disease
Recurrent symptoms in well-established celiac disease may result in further clinical evaluation. In most, poor diet compliance is present. Other considerations include an unidentified gluten source, an erroneous initial diagnosis, another or second and superimposed cause for symptoms, or a complication, including collagenous sprue or an intestinal lymphoma. Failure to define an initial gluten-f...
