Actin and its ability to polymerize into dynamic filaments is critical for the form and function of cells throughout the body. While multiple proteins have been characterized as affecting actin dynamics through noncovalent ...

endritic spines are small protrusions emerging from their parent dendrites, and their morphological changes are involved in synaptic plasticity. These tiny structures are composed of thousands of different proteins belonging ...

Abstract: Much indirect evidence suggests that the interconnections of actin microfilaments with the microtubule system are mediated by microtubule‐associated proteins (MAPs). In this study we provide new data to support ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells contains networks of actin filaments and microtubules (MTs) that are jointly implicated in various cell functions, including cell division, morphogenesis, and migration. In neurons, ...

In the mammalian testis, peritubular myoid cells (PM cells) surround the seminiferous tubules (STs), express cytoskeletal markers of true smooth muscle cells, and participate in the contraction of the ST. It has been claimed ...

Intermediate filaments of toad oxyntic cells were isolated and analysed by SDS-PAGE. The major proteins of the residue were identified as actin and a 51,000 dalton polypeptide. Immunological crossreactivity between toad ...

Actin filament polymerization can be branched or linear, which depends on the associated regulatory proteins. Competition for actin monomers occurs between proteins that induce branched or linear actin polymerization. ...

It has been demonstrated that microtubule‐associated proteins (MAPs) interact with tubulin in vitro and in vivo. However, there is no clear evidence on the possible roles of the interactions of MAPs in vivo with other ...
