متن کاملFilament attachment dynamics in actin-based propulsion
A. E. Carlsson Department of Physics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. 63130 (Dated: February 2, 2008) Abstract Theory and experiment have established that F-actin filaments are strongly attached to the intracellular parasites (such as Listeria) they propel with “comet tails”. We consider the implications of these observations for propulsion. By calculating the motion produced in various m...
متن کاملActin and the coordination of protrusion, attachment and retraction in cell crawling.
To crawl over a substrate a cell must first protrude in front, establish new attachments to the substrate and then retract its rear. Protrusion and retraction utilise different subcompartments of the actin cytoskeleton and operate by different mechanisms, one involving actin polymerization and the other myosin-based contraction. Using as examples the rapidly locomoting keratocyte and the slowly...
متن کاملNonerythrocyte spectrins: actin-membrane attachment proteins occurring in many cell types
The properties of brain fodrin have been analyzed and compared with those of erythrocyte spectrin. Both proteins consist of high molecular weight polypeptide doublets on SDS polyacrylamide gels and in solution behave as very large asymmetric molecules. Both proteins show a characteristic increase in sedimentation coefficient in the presence of 20 mM KCl. Antibodies against the brain protein cro...

ABSlRACl The properties of brain fodrin have been analyzed and compared with those of erythrocyte spectrin. Both proteins consist of high molecular weight polypeptide doublets on SDS polyacrylamide gels and in solution behave as very large asymmetric molecules. Both proteins show a characteristic increase in sedimentation coefficient in the presence of 20 mM KCI. Antibodies against the brain pr...
