The Actin Cytoskeleton and Lymphocyte Activation
" organized contacts " at the interfaces of physical contact between T cells and APCs (Monks et al., 1997). areas between T cells and APCs incubated with anti-genic peptides indicate that a SMAC is organized into Stanford, California 941010-0269 distinct spatial domains (Monks et al., 1998). The central area of a SMAC contains the TCR, CD3, p56 lck and p59 fyn kinases, and protein kinase C (PKC...
متن کاملPhagocytosis and the actin cytoskeleton.
The process of engulfing a foreign particle - phagocytosis - is of fundamental importance for a wide diversity of organisms. From simple unicellular organisms that use phagocytosis to obtain their next meal, to complex metazoans in which phagocytic cells represent an essential branch of the immune system, evolution has armed cells with a fantastic repertoire of molecules that serve to bring abo...
متن کاملVisualising 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...
متن کاملThe Bacterial Actin Cytoskeleton
M icrobial shape, long used as a taxonomic criterion, is genetically determined. But how DNA sequence information is translated into morphology is a seminal question still without a complete answer for any microorganism. Recently, however, when investigators discovered that actin-like proteins are involved in determining bacterial cell shape, they revolutionized the field. This insight provides...
متن کاملChronophin activation is necessary in Doxorubicin-induced actin cytoskeleton alteration
Although doxorubicin (Dox)-induced oxidative stress is known to be associated with cytotoxicity, the precise mechanism remains unclear. Genotoxic stress not only generates free radicals, but also affects actin cytoskeleton stability. We showed that Dox-induced RhoA signaling stimulated actin cytoskeleton alterations, resulting in central stress fiber disruption at early time points and cell per...
