I-6: Role of Actin Cytoskeleton during Mouse Sperm Acrosomal Exocytosis
Background: Mammalian sperm must undergo a process termed capacitation to become competent to fertilize an egg. Capacitation renders the sperm competent by priming the cells to undergo a rapid exocytotic event called acrosomal exocytosis that is stimulated by the zona pellucida (ZP) of the egg or progesterone. Over the years, several biochemical events have been associated with the capacitation...
متن کاملEffect of Stress-Fiber Inclusion on the Local Stiffness of Cell Cytoskeleton Probed by AFM Indentation: Insights from a Discrete Network Model
In this paper, we analyze the effect of stress-fiber inclusion on the stiffness of an actin random network. To do this, use a discrete random network model to analyze the elastic response of this system in terms of apparent Young’s modulus. First, we showed that for a flat-ended cylindrical AFM indenter the total indentation force has a linear relation with the indentation depth and the indente...
متن کاملAssociation of cortactin with dynamic actin
The formation of cell protrusions such as lamellipodia and filopodia in motile cells is dependent on actin polymerization. The actin assembly takes place at the leading edge of the protrusions and is thought to provide the force for forward movement of the plasma membrane (for review see Mitchison and Cramer, 1996). In several cell types the actin meshwork moves in a retrograde manner from the ...
متن کاملActin cable dynamics and Rho/Rock orchestrate a polarized cytoskeletal architecture in the early steps of assembling a stratified epithelium.
To enable stratification and barrier function, the epidermis must permit self-renewal while maintaining adhesive connections. By generating K14-GFP-actin mice to monitor actin dynamics in cultured primary keratinocytes, we uncovered a role for the actin cytoskeleton in establishing cellular organization. During epidermal sheet formation, a polarized network of nascent intercellular junctions an...
متن کاملComparison of actin and cell surface dynamics in motile fibroblasts
We have investigated the dynamic behavior of actin in fibroblast lamellipodia using photoactivation of fluorescence. Activated regions of caged resorufin (CR)-labeled actin in lamellipodia of IMR 90 and MC7 3T3 fibroblasts were observed to move centripetally over time. Thus in these cells, actin filaments move centripetally relative to the substrate. Rates were characteristic for each cell type...
