The bacterial actin MreB has been implicated in a variety of cellular roles including cell shape determination, cell wall synthesis, chromosome condensation and segregation, and the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity. Toward elucidating a

The untested assumption that bacteria lack a cytoskeleton (1) was overturned by the discoveries of prokaryotic orthologs (2, 3) of tubulin (4), actin (5, 6), and even intermediate filament proteins (7). The tubulin ortholog FtsZ drives contraction of

Calpain 2 regulates membrane protrusion during cell migration. However, relevant substrates that mediate the effects of calpain on protrusion have not been identified. One potential candidate substrate is the actin binding protein cortactin. Cortacti

Epithelial protein lost in neoplasm (EPLIN) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein encoded by a gene that is down-regulated in transformed cells. EPLIN increases the number and size of actin stress fibers and inhibits membrane ruffling induced by Rac.

The seven-subunit Arp2/3 complex choreographs the formation of branched actin networks at the leading edge of migrating cells. When activated by Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp), the Arp2/3 complex initiates actin filament branches from the si

Regulated assembly of actin-filament networks provides the mechanical force that pushes forward the leading edge of motile eukaryotic cells and intracellular pathogenic bacteria and viruses. When activated by binding to actin filaments and to the WA

We previously identified a cluster of basic spectrin-like repeats in the dystrophin rod domain that binds F-actin through electrostatic interactions (Amann, K. J., Renley, B. A., and Ervasti, J. M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 28419-28423). Because of

We purified actin from bovine brain by DNase I affinity chromatography in order to compare the binding of dystrophin to muscle actin with its binding to nonmuscle actin. While both beta- and gamma-nonmuscle actins are expressed in brain, Western blot

The F-actin binding and cross-linking properties of skeletal muscle dystrophin-glycoprotein complex were examined using high and low speed cosedimentation assays, microcapillary falling ball viscometry, and electron microscopy. Dystrophin-glycoprotei

The actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex mediates the formation of branched actin filaments at the leading edge of motile cells and in the comet tails moving certain intracellular pathogens. Crystal structures of the Arp2/3 complex are availabl
