The variable twist of actin and its modulation by actin-binding proteins
Previous studies demonstrated that actin filaments have variable twist in which the intersubunit angles vary by approximately +/- 10 degrees within a filament. In this work we show that this variability was unchanged when different methods were used to prepare filaments for electron microscopy. We also show that actin-binding proteins can modulate the variability in twist. Three preparations of...
متن کاملRegulation of actin dynamics by actin-binding proteins in pollen.
A dynamic network of polymers, the actin cytoskeleton, co-ordinates numerous fundamental cellular processes. In pollen tubes, organelle movements and cytoplasmic streaming, organization of the tip zone, vesicle trafficking, and tip growth have all been linked to actin-based function. Further, during the self-incompatibility response of Papaver rhoeas, destruction of the cytoskeleton is a primar...
متن کاملActin-binding proteins.
Actin is an essential component of the cytoskeleton and plays a crucial role in eukaryotic cells. The actin cytoskeleton functions in the generation and maintenance of cell morphology and polarity, in endocytosis and intracellular trafficking, in contractility, motility and cell division. In cells, the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments, and also their organisation into functional high...
