From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 194, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe two-dimensional network of the membrane-associated cytoskeleton of the human erythrocyte was evaluated. The network consisted of tetramer elements of the protein, spectrin. A distinct feature of the erythrocyte...
-
From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 194, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe mechanisms of actin bundle formation were explained. The actin filaments or F-actin are primary types of cytoskeletal filaments induced to form bundles through the addition of polycations. The bundle formation...

From:Science (Vol. 279, Issue 5350) Peer-ReviewedThe actin cytoskeleton mediates a variety of essential biological functions in all eukaryotic cells. In addition to providing a structural framework around which cell shape and polarity are defined, its dynamic...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedA current model posits that cofilin-dependent actin severing negatively impacts dendritic spine volume. Studies suggested that increased cofilin activity underlies activity-dependent spine shrinkage, and that reduced...
-
From:Science (Vol. 307, Issue 5708) Peer-ReviewedEvidence has accumulated recently that not only eukaryotes but also bacteria can have a cytoskeleton. We used cryo-electron tomography to study the three-dimensional structure of Spiroplasma melliferum cells in a...
-
From:Gravitational and Space Biology (Vol. 17, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT Gravity-sensing and gravity-oriented polarized growth of characean rhizoids and protonemata are dependent on the actin cytoskeleton. The multiple functions and dynamic nature of the actin cytoskeleton are...
-
From:eLife (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedThe actin cytoskeleton plays important roles in the formation and internalization of endocytic vesicles. In yeast, endocytic vesicles move towards early endosomes along actin cables, however, the molecular machinery...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedOligodendrocyte differentiation and central nervous system myelination require massive reorganization of the oligodendrocyte cytoskeleton. Loss of specific actin- and tubulin-organizing factors can lead to impaired...
-
From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 209, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedActivated Spisula oocytes proceed through meiotic stages rapidly and in near synchrony, providing an excellent system for analyzing polar body formation. Our previous studies suggested that cortical spreading of the...
-
From:Nature (Vol. 453, Issue 7194) Peer-ReviewedThe ability of living cells to move affects the way our bodies develop, fight off infections and heal wounds. Moreover, cell migration is an extremely complex process, which explains why it has captured the collective...
-
From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 194, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe dynamic equilibrium exhibited by intermediate filaments (IF), parts of the cellular cytoskeleton, in developing cells was discussed. The equilibrium state was shown in vivo via the utilization of mimetic peptides...
-
From:Science (Vol. 251, Issue 4998) Peer-ReviewedREMARKABLE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN growth factors encounter their target cells. Take epidermal growth factor (EGF). It triggers a whole series of responses in its targets: cells change shape and send out needle-like...
-
From:Biochemistry (Moscow) (Vol. 81, Issue 13) Peer-ReviewedThe cytoskeleton consists of three distinct types of protein polymer structures--microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules; each serves distinct roles in controlling cell shape, division, contraction,...
-
From:eLife (Vol. 7) Peer-ReviewedA protein modification called O-linked glycosylation regulates the interactions between vimentin molecules under normal conditions, and the ability of Chlamydia bacteria to replicate after they infect cells. Byline:...
-
From:Annual Review of GeneticsPeer-ReviewedKey Words axis patterning, UTRs, cytoskeleton-dependent transport, early development * Abstract Translational control is a prevalent means of gene regulation during Drosophila oogenesis and embryogenesis. Multiple...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has allowed for transcriptional profiling of biological systems through the identification of differentially expressed (DE) genes and pathways. A total of 80 steers with extreme phenotypes were...
-
From:NeuroQuantology: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Neuroscience and Quantum Physics (Vol. 15, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThere is mounting evidence that schizophrenia and depression are polar extremes of the same processes. The neuronal microtubule cytoskeleton is regulated through the actions of microtubule-associated proteins, the...
-
From:The Biological Bulletin (Vol. 194, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe functions of plectin against mechanical stress and internal anchorage locations for cytoskeletal filaments were explained. Plectin is a cytoskeletal protein expressed in mammalian cells and tissues and codistributed...

From:Annual Review of Microbiology (Vol. 53) Peer-ReviewedSchool of Biological Sciences, University of Manchester; Manchester M13 9PT, United Kingdom; e-mail: K.Gull@man.ac.uk Key Words cytoskeleton, microtubule, flagellum, parasite, trypanosome, Leishmania, kinetoplast,...
-
From:BioScience (Vol. 49, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedExamples of structural and functional cytoskeletal polymers, like actin filaments and microtubules, were described. Such examples establishes an interpretation that cytoskeleton is not a collection of disparate fibrillar...
