Actin cytoskeleton: Are FH proteins local organizers?

The FH proteins, defined by the presence of 'formin homology' regions, are important for a number of actin-dependent processes, including polarized cell growth and cytokinesis. They are large, probably multi-domain, proteins and their function may be in part mediated by an interaction with profilin.

SH3 domain-containing proteins and the actin cytoskeleton in yeast.

SH3 (Src homology-3) domains are involved in protein-protein interactions through proline-rich domains. Many SH3-containing proteins are implicated in actin cytoskeleton organization. The aim of our ongoing work is to study the functions of the SH3-containing proteins in actin cytoskeleton regulation. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteome includes 29 SH3 domains distributed in 25 proteins...

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...

Visualising the actin cytoskeleton.

The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic filamentous network whose formation and remodeling underlies the fundamental processes of cell motility and shape determination. To serve these roles, different compartments of the actin cytoskeleton engage in forming specific coupling sites between neighbouring cells and with the underlying matrix, which themselves serve signal transducing functions. In this...
