Actin can exist in monomeric form as G-actin (globular actin) or can form filaments (F-actin, filamentous actin) and mediates multiple cellular functions, including cell migration, contractility ...

Spir proteins nucleate actin polymerization by assembling a linear actin oligomer along a cluster of four actin-binding WH2 domains, and this process is enhanced by formins of the Cappuccino family.

Myosins are ATP-dependent motor proteins associated with actin filaments that serve as the beams and girders for cells. The team found that actin-mediated movement of condensates enhances ...

Myosin XI is a plant-specific motor protein that moves along actin filaments and helps in intracellular organelle transport.

However, boron is often scarce in soil, particularly in arid regions, making passive absorption impossible. To combat this, ...

The mechanical and structural properties of actin filaments play critical roles in various cellular functions, including structural support, cell movement, division, and intracellular transport.

This study provides useful information on the impact of Lamin A/C knockdown on gene expression using RNA-Seq analysis. In addition, the impact of Lamin A/C knockdown on telomere dynamics is explored ...

Influenza virions can take a variety of shapes, from the classic spherical or kidney bean morphology found in most ...

Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten. In a groundbreaking study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

On Tuesday, classic computer collector Joe Strosnider announced the availability of a new 3D-printer filament that replicates the iconic "Platinum" color scheme used in classic Macintosh computers ...

HSPCs polarize in contact with bone marrow stromal cells constituting their niche. This study analyses the polarity of ...
