... ‘readers, writers and erasers’ that remodel chromatin have been discovered to also remodel the cytoskeleton, regulating structure and function of microtubules and actin filaments. This points to an emerging paradigm for dual-function remodelers with ‘chromatocytoskeletal’ activity that can integrate...

... and immunostaining of the fat body, Malpighian tubules and anterior midgut, we described tissue and cytoskeletal (F-actin and α-tubulin) morphologies among these variants after exposure to various cold stresses (from chilling at −5°C to extreme freezing at −196°C), and upon recovery from cold exposure. Fat body...

... and carbonylation in cadmium-treated haemocytes of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis . Glutathionylation was detected by western blot analysis and showed actin as its main target. A significant increase of both actin glutathionylation and protein carbonylation, were observed in haemocytes exposed to micromolar...

... to the bacterially produced recombinant peptide, we identified that this nebulin fragment is located in the Z-line of the sarcomere, similar to human nebulin. Pull-down and co-sedimentation assays in vitro showed that the C-terminal region binds to actin, α-actinin and connectin(titin). These results suggest...

Supporting the putative role of PKA in the AK-III-induced activation...

...; the middle layer of an artery is an aggregation of cells containing microfilaments. Arterial cells possess actin, myosin and tropomyosin. Except for the dorsal abdominal artery,striated muscle cells are not evident in the walls of any of the vessels. The neurotransmitter glutamic acid and the neurohormone...

... was constructed containing the D2 site and flanking immunoglobulin (Ig) motifs. It was shown that the dephosphorylated peptide, but not the phosphorylated form, bound to both actin and myosin. The binding site on actin was within the sequence L10 to P29. This region also binds to loop 2 of the myosin head...

... of the American lobster Homarus americanus . SDS-PAGE and western blotting were used to identify isoform assemblages of myosin heavy chain (MHC), P75, troponin T(TnT) and troponin I (TnI). RT-PCR was used to monitor expression of fast and slow (S 1 ) MHC, P75 and actin in different fiber types, and the MHC...

...Kammy Fehrenbacher; Thomas Huckaba; Hyeong-Cheol Yang; Istvan Boldogh; Liza Pon SUMMARY The Arp2/3 complex consists of seven highly conserved and tightly associated subunits, two of which are the actin-related proteins Arp2 and Arp3. One of the best-studied functions of the Arp2/3 complex...

... that actin filaments in the photoreceptor cell body are involved in the transport of vesicular sER towards the rhabdom. To specify the time of actin contribution to rhabdom synthesis, we disrupted the organization of actin filaments in the cell body with cytochalasin D at various time around dusk. We...

... lamellipods and the development of morphological polarity. Stimulation also leads to changes in the neutrophil content of filamentous actin (F-actin), which is the major cytoskeletal component. Suspensions of human neutrophils stimulated with chemoattractants exhibit sinusoidal light-scattering oscillations...

.... Sarcomere length change frequency was 4.19±0.04Hz, while tailbeat frequency was 4.20±0.03Hz. Average sarcomere excursion was 76±4nm. Sarcomere length excursion during swimming was always less than 0.1 μ m ( Fig. 3 ). Assuming that the actin and myosin filament lengths were identical to those found...

...) showed that mouse skeletal muscle cr-actin and nonmuscle actin mRNAs have lengths of 1.65 and 2.1 kb, respectively. In this study the cDNA hybridized to crustacean actin mRNAs in two bands of 1.6 and 1.8 kb ( Fig. 1A ), showing that a heterologous probe can be used to identify actin mRNA species from...
