The Diaphanous Wedge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complete solutions for the diaphanous wedge, by which is meant a wedge with identical wavenumbers inside and outside the wedge, are presented. The results are obtained from an integral equation for the fields on the wedge, which is solved by the Mellin and KantorovichLebedev transforms in the static and dynamic cases, respectively. Pertinent formulations of Gegenbauer’s addition theorems play an important part in the derivation of the results, which are presented in closed form.

Diaphanous regulates myosin and adherens junctions to control cell contractility and protrusive behavior during morphogenesis.
Formins are key regulators of actin nucleation and elongation. Diaphanous-related formins, the best-known subclass, are activated by Rho and play essential roles in cytokinesis. In cultured cells, Diaphanous-related formins also regulate cell adhesion, polarity and microtubules, suggesting that they may be key regulators of cell shape change and migration during development. However, their esse...
متن کاملFormin-dependent synaptic growth: evidence that Dlar signals via Diaphanous to modulate synaptic actin and dynamic pioneer microtubules.
The diaphanous gene is the founding member of a family of Diaphanous-related formin proteins (DRFs). We identified diaphanous in a screen for genes that are necessary for the normal growth and stabilization of the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Here, we demonstrate that diaphanous mutations perturb synaptic growth at the NMJ. Diaphanous protein is present both presynaptically and post...
متن کاملThe actin regulators Enabled and Diaphanous direct distinct protrusive behaviors in different tissues during Drosophila development
Actin-based protrusions are important for signaling and migration during development and homeostasis. Defining how different tissues in vivo craft diverse protrusive behaviors using the same genomic toolkit of actin regulators is a current challenge. The actin elongation factors Diaphanous and Enabled both promote barbed-end actin polymerization and can stimulate filopodia in cultured cells. Ho...
متن کاملGTPase Signalling: New Functions for Diaphanous-Related Formins
The Diaphanous-related formins are effectors for Rho GTPases. Two recent reports have unveiled previously unappreciated activities of Drf3 (mDia2), eliciting cytoskeletal rearrangements at the behest of Cdc42, and of DRF2 (hDia2C), regulating endosome dynamics for RhoD.
متن کاملThe Mos-MAPK pathway regulates Diaphanous-related formin activity to drive cleavage furrow closure during polar body extrusion in starfish oocytes.
Maintenance of spindle attachment to the cortex and formation of the cleavage furrow around the protruded spindle are essential for polar body extrusion (PBE) during meiotic maturation of oocytes. Although spindle movement to the cortex has been well-studied, how the spindle is maintained at the cortex during PBE is unknown. Here, we show that activation of Diaphanous-related formin mediated by...
