Actin-Filament Disassembly: It Takes Two to Shrink Them Fast
Actin-filament disassembly is indispensable for replenishing the pool of polymerizable actin and allows continuous dynamic remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton. A new study now reveals that ADF/cofilin preferentially dismantles branched networks and provides new insights into the collaborative work of ADF/cofilin and Aip1 on filament disassembly at the molecular level.
متن کاملArchitecture Dependence of Actin Filament Network Disassembly
Turnover of actin networks in cells requires the fast disassembly of aging actin structures. While ADF/cofilin and Aip1 have been identified as central players, how their activities are modulated by the architecture of the networks remains unknown. Using our ability to reconstitute a diverse array of cellular actin organizations, we found that ADF/cofilin binding and ADF/cofilin-mediated disass...
متن کاملIt takes two to tango
The vertebrate inner ear has time and again surprised neurobiologists by adding new wrinkles to known mechanisms of cellular signaling. among those surprises, was the discovery that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (related to those that excite muscle) inhibit cochlear hair cells when acetylcholine (aCh) is released from efferent neurons. Inhibition occurs because calcium entering through the ...
متن کاملIt takes two
Two forms of an unconventional myosin motor protein have separate functions in the growth and maintenance of hair bundles in auditory hair cells.
متن کاملRoot patterning: it takes two to tangle
The mechanisms that pattern lateral root primordia are essential for the elaboration of root system architecture , a trait of key importance for future crop breeding. But which are most important: periodic or local cues? In this issue of Journal of Experimental Botany (pages 1411–1420), Kircher and Schopfer manipulate growth direction to demonstrate the importance of both sources of patterning ...
