The Actin Gene Family: Function Follows Isoform
Although actin is often thought of as a single protein, in mammals it actually consists of six different isoforms encoded by separate genes. Each isoform is remarkably similar to every other isoform, with only slight variations in amino acid sequence. Nevertheless, recent work indicates that actin isoforms carry out unique cellular functions. Here, we review evidence drawn from localization stu...
متن کاملEmotions: form follows function.
Emotion research has been divided by debate as to whether emotions are universal in form or cognitively constructed. We review an emerging approach that focuses on function rather than form. Functional affective science suggests that the particular origin of an emotion is relatively unimportant; instead, emotions can be understood in terms of a rapidly deployed set of mechanisms that structure ...
متن کاملDiversity and flexibility of Th17 effector functions
IL-17-producing CD4+ T-helper cells (Th17 cells) have been recognised as important drivers of pathogenesis in a multitude of inflammatory diseases, including arthritis. The cytokines and transcription factors that instruct and execute Th17 lineage differentiation have been identified. This has induced hopes that targeting Th17 cells might yield a magic bullet against autoimmune diseases. A new ...
متن کاملGrowth Control: Function Follows Form
Cell division, intuitively, is often dependent upon increases in cellular mass and volume. Less obvious is the reciprocal regulation of growth by the cell division cycle. In budding yeast, this link is mediated by the cell-cycle-dependent polarization of actin.
