Phenotypes of cytoskeletal mutants.
نویسنده
چکیده
Phenotypic studies continue to contribute to an understanding of the functions of cytoskeletal proteins. Many of these studies indicate some degree of functional redundancy within a family of cytoskeletal proteins. Some surprises have emerged, such as suggestions of unexpected relationships between the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons. Finally, phenotypic studies have provided evidence for a function of intermediate filaments.

متن کاملAtFH1 formin mutation affects actin filament and microtubule dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana
Plant cell growth and morphogenesis depend on remodelling of both actin and microtubule cytoskeletons. AtFH1 (At5g25500), the main housekeeping Arabidopsis formin, is targeted to membranes and known to nucleate and bundle actin. The effect of mutations in AtFH1 on root development and cytoskeletal dynamics was examined. Consistent with primarily actin-related formin function, fh1 mutants showed...
متن کاملGeneration of an isogenic collection of yeast actin mutants and identification of three interrelated phenotypes.
A large collection of yeast actin mutations has been previously isolated and used in numerous studies of actin cytoskeletal function. However, the various mutations have been in congenic, rather than isogenic, backgrounds, making it difficult to compare the subtle phenotypes that are characteristic of these mutants. We have therefore placed 27 mutations in an isogenic background. We used a subs...
متن کاملRvs161p Interacts with Fus2p to Promote Cell Fusion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
FUS7 was previously identified by a mutation that causes a defect in cell fusion in a screen for bilateral mating defects. Here we show that FUS7 is allelic to RVS161/END6, a gene implicated in a variety of processes including viability after starvation, endocytosis, and actin cytoskeletal organization. Two lines of evidence indicate that RVS161/END6's endocytic function is not required for cel...
متن کاملThe RNA-binding protein Squid is required for the establishment of anteroposterior polarity in the Drosophila oocyte.
The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) Squid (Sqd) is a highly abundant protein that is expected to bind most cellular RNAs. Nonetheless, Sqd plays a very specific developmental role in dorsoventral (DV) axis formation during Drosophila oogenesis by localizing gurken (grk) RNA. Here, we report that Sqd is also essential for anteroposterior (AP) axis formation. We identified sqd in ...
