ENA/VASP proteins: multifunctional regulators of actin cytoskeleton dynamics.
The spatial and temporal regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is fundamental to several cellular processes as diverse as cell motility and immune responses. At the molecular level, the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton depends on two key events: actin filament nucleation and elongation. Seminal studies on the actin-based intracellular motility of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogene...
متن کاملGet to grips: steering local actin dynamics with IQGAPs.
IQGAPs are actin-binding proteins that scaffold numerous interaction partners, transmitting extracellular signals that influence mitogenic, morphological and migratory cell behaviour. However, the precise mechanisms by which IQGAP proteins influence actin dynamics and actin filament structures have been elusive. Now that IQGAP1 has emerged as a potential key regulator of actin-cytoskeletal dyna...
متن کاملIqg1p, a Yeast Homologue of the Mammalian IQGAPs, Mediates Cdc42p Effects on the Actin Cytoskeleton
The Rho-type GTPase Cdc42p has been implicated in diverse cellular functions including cell shape, cell motility, and cytokinesis, all of which involve the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Targets of Cdc42p that interface the actin cytoskeleton are likely candidates for mediating cellular activities. In this report, we identify and characterize a yeast homologue for the mammalian IQGAP...
متن کاملMicroRNAs as key regulators of GTPase-mediated apical actin reorganization in multiciliated epithelia
Multiciliated cells (MCCs), which are present in specialized vertebrate tissues such as mucociliary epithelia, project hundreds of motile cilia from their apical membrane. Coordinated ciliary beating in MCCs contributes to fluid propulsion in several biological processes. In a previous work, we demonstrated that microRNAs of the miR-34/449 family act as new conserved regulators of MCC different...
متن کاملPhosphoinositides as Key Regulators of Synaptic Function
Phosphoinositides have recently emerged as key regulators of a variety of synaptic processes, including neurosecretory vesicle targeting, exo-endocytosis, and ion channel modulation. These pleiotropic activities derive from their ability to serve either as membrane targeting sites for cytosolic factors, as allosteric ligands, or as nucleation points for coat proteins and cytoskeletal elements. ...
