Abundance, relative gelation activity, and distribution of the 95,000- dalton actin-binding protein from Dictyostelium discoideum
We have studied the abundance, relative gelation activity, and distribution of the 95,000-dalton actin-binding protein in Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae. The 95,000-dalton protein was a prominent polypeptide as assessed using quantitative densitometry and radioimmunoassay. We estimated that this protein comprised approximately 1.2% of the protein in a soluble extract of amoebae. The molar rat...
متن کاملActin and Actin Binding Protein interactions with Membranes
24 Membrane Cytoskeleton Interactions CS5 The cytoskeleton, especially the actin cytoskeleton interacts with cell membranes. The cell cortex forms a variety of structures such as cell to substrate adhesions, cell to cell adhesions, and large protein aggregations involved is signal transduction. The dual responsibilities of the cell cortex to both provide a physical and signalling communication ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional structure of actin filaments and of an actin gel made with actin-binding protein
Purified muscle actin and mixtures of actin and actin-binding protein were examined in the transmission electron microscope after fixation, critical point drying, and rotary shadowing. The three-dimensional structure of the protein assemblies was analyzed by a computer-assisted graphic analysis applicable to generalized filament networks. This analysis yielded information concerning the frequen...
متن کاملThe Actin Binding Protein Adseverin Regulates Osteoclastogenesis
Adseverin (Ads), a member of the Gelsolin superfamily of actin binding proteins, regulates the actin cytoskeleton architecture by severing and capping existing filamentous actin (F-actin) strands and nucleating the assembly of new F-actin filaments. Ads has been implicated in cellular secretion, exocytosis and has also been shown to regulate chondrogenesis and megakaryoblastic leukemia cell dif...
متن کاملRegulation of actin dynamics by actin-binding proteins in pollen.
A dynamic network of polymers, the actin cytoskeleton, co-ordinates numerous fundamental cellular processes. In pollen tubes, organelle movements and cytoplasmic streaming, organization of the tip zone, vesicle trafficking, and tip growth have all been linked to actin-based function. Further, during the self-incompatibility response of Papaver rhoeas, destruction of the cytoskeleton is a primar...
