Nuclear Actin in Development and Transcriptional Reprogramming
Actin is a highly abundant protein in eukaryotic cells and dynamically changes its polymerized states with the help of actin-binding proteins. Its critical function as a constituent of cytoskeleton has been well-documented. Growing evidence demonstrates that actin is also present in nuclei, referred to as nuclear actin, and is involved in a number of nuclear processes, including transcriptional...
متن کاملCo-transcriptional nuclear actin dynamics
Actin is a key player for nuclear structure and function regulating both chromosome organization and gene activity. In the cell nucleus actin interacts with many different proteins. Among these proteins several studies have identified classical nuclear factors involved in chromatin structure and function, transcription and RNA processing as well as proteins that are normally involved in control...
متن کاملUpdate on Nuclear Actin-Related Proteins Nuclear Actin-Related Proteins as Epigenetic Regulators of Development
Complex regulatory networks control cell fate and the development of organs and tissues in multicellular organisms. But what mechanisms initiate the necessary global changes in patterns of gene expression? What regulates the regulators of organismal development? The nuclear actin-related proteins (ARPs) participate in macromolecular chromatin-remodeling machines that regulate the transcription ...
متن کاملControl of nuclear organization by F-actin binding proteins
The regulation of nuclear shape and deformability is a key factor in controlling diverse events from embryonic development to cancer cell metastasis, but the mechanisms governing this process are still unclear. Our recent study demonstrated an unexpected role for the F-actin bundling protein fascin in controlling nuclear plasticity through a direct interaction with Nesprin-2. Nesprin-2 is a com...
متن کاملMicroinjection of actin-binding proteins and actin antibodies demonstrates involvement of nuclear actin in transcription of lampbrush chromosomes.
Nuclei of amphibian oocytes contain large amounts of actin, mostly in unpolymerized or short-polymer form. When antibodies to actin or actin-binding proteins (fragmin and the actin modulator from mammalian smooth muscle) are injected into nuclei of living oocytes of Pleurodeles waltlii, transcription of the lampbrush chromosomes, but not of the rRNA genes, is inhibited. When transcription is re...
