Roles of type II myosin and a tropomyosin isoform in retrograde actin flow in budding yeast
Retrograde flow of cortical actin networks and bundles is essential for cell motility and retrograde intracellular movement, and for the formation and maintenance of microvilli, stereocilia, and filopodia. Actin cables, which are F-actin bundles that serve as tracks for anterograde and retrograde cargo movement in budding yeast, undergo retrograde flow that is driven, in part, by actin polymeri...
متن کاملIntracellular Motility: Myosin and Tropomyosin in Actin Cable Flow
A new study has found that retrograde flow of budding yeast actin cables is facilitated by myosin II but is inhibited by a specific tropomyosin isoform (Tpm2p). Budding yeast therefore contains a minimal component system for elucidating the mechanistic details of retrograde actin flow.
متن کاملArp2/3 complex–dependent actin networks constrain myosin II function in driving retrograde actin flow
The Arp2/3 complex nucleates actin filaments to generate networks at the leading edge of motile cells. Nonmuscle myosin II produces contractile forces involved in driving actin network translocation. We inhibited the Arp2/3 complex and/or myosin II with small molecules to investigate their respective functions in neuronal growth cone actin dynamics. Inhibition of the Arp2/3 complex with CK666 r...
متن کاملMyosin Drives Retrograde F-Actin Flow in Neuronal Growth Cones
Actin filaments assembled at the leading edge of neuronal growth cones are centripetally transported via retrograde F-actin flow, a process fundamental to growth cone guidance and other forms of directed cell motility. Here we investigated the role of myosins in retrograde flow, using two distinct modes of myosin inhibition: microinjection of NEM inactivated myosin S1 fragments, or treatment wi...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
