The crystal structure of the Physarum polycephalum actin-fragmin kinase: an atypical protein kinase with a specialized substrate-binding domain.
Coordinated temporal and spatial regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for diverse cellular processes such as cell division, cell motility and the formation and maintenance of specialized structures in differentiated cells. In plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum, the F-actin capping activity of the actin-fragmin complex is regulated by the phosphorylation of actin. This is mediated b...
متن کاملControl of actin filament length by phosphorylation of fragmin-actin complex
Fragmin is a Ca2(+)-sensitive F-actin-severing protein purified from a slime mold, Physarum polycephalum (Hasegawa, T., S. Takahashi, H. Hayashi, and S. Hatano. 1980. Biochemistry. 19:2677-2683). It binds to G-actin to form a 1:1 fragmin/actin complex in the presence of micromolar free Ca2+. The complex nucleates actin polymerization and caps the barbed end of the short F-actin (Sugino, H., and...
متن کاملDisruption of the actin cytoskeleton of mammalian cells by the capping complex actin-fragmin is inhibited by actin phosphorylation and regulated by Ca2+ ions.
Fragmin from Physarum polycephalum is a gelsolin-like actin-binding protein and interferes with the growth of actin filaments in vitro by severing actin filaments and capping their barbed ends through formation of an actin-fragmin dimer in a Ca2+-dependent manner. The actin-fragmin dimer is phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro on the actin subunit by the actin-fragmin kinase. We have studied the...

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
15 صفحه اولEffect of Actin-binding Protein on Sedimentation Properties of Actin the SHARON ROSENBERG and ALFRED STRACHER
Actin and act in-binding protein (ABP) have recently been purif ied from human platelet cytoskeletons (S. Rosenberg, A. Stracher, and R. C. Lucas, 1981, J. Cel l BioL 91:201-211). Here, the effect of ABP on the sedimentation of actin was studied. When ABP was added to preformed F-actin filaments, it bound unti l a maximum ratio of 1:9 (ABP:actin, mol:mol) was reached. However, when actin was po...
