Tuning myosin-driven sorting on cellular actin networks
Myosin V and VI are antagonistic motors that cohabit membrane vesicles in cells. A systematic study of their collective function, however, is lacking and forms the focus of this study. We functionally reconstitute a two-dimensional actin-myosin interface using myosin V and VI precisely patterned on DNA nanostructures, in combination with a model keratocyte actin meshwork. While scaffolds displa...
متن کاملBeta-Actin Is Involved in Modulating Erythropoiesis during Development by Fine-Tuning Gata2 Expression Levels
The functions of actin family members during development are poorly understood. To investigate the role of beta-actin in mammalian development, a beta-actin knockout mouse model was used. Homozygous beta-actin knockout mice are lethal at embryonic day (E)10.5. At E10.25 beta-actin knockout embryos are growth retarded and display a pale yolk sac and embryo proper that is suggestive of altered er...
متن کاملDynamics of the actin cytoskeleton mediates receptor cross talk: An emerging concept in tuning receptor signaling
Recent evidence implicates the actin cytoskeleton in the control of receptor signaling. This may be of particular importance in the context of immune receptors, such as the B cell receptor, where dysregulated signaling can result in autoimmunity and malignancy. Here, we discuss the role of the actin cytoskeleton in controlling receptor compartmentalization, dynamics, and clustering as a means t...
متن کاملRetrograde Tuning of Tuning
One way to localize sounds is to measure differences in sound intensity at the two ears. This comparison is made in the lateral superior olive, where signals from both ears converge. Magnusson et al. in this issue of Neuron show that dendritic GABA release can regulate this comparison, which may allow animals localizing sounds to adapt to listening conditions.
متن کاملBacterial nucleators: actin' on actin.
The actin cytoskeleton is a key target of numerous microbial pathogens, including protozoa, fungi, bacteria and viruses. In particular, bacterial pathogens produce and deliver virulence effector proteins that hijack actin dynamics to enable bacterial invasion of host cells, allow movement within the host cytosol, facilitate intercellular spread or block phagocytosis. Many of these effector prot...
