Cytoskeletal networks support and direct cell shape and guide intercellular transport, but relatively little is understood about the self-organization of cytoskeletal components on the scale of an entire cell. Here, authors use an in vitro system and

Upscaling motor protein activity to perform work in man-made devices has long been an ambitious goal in bionanotechnology. The use of hierarchical motor assemblies, as realized in sarcomeres, has so far been complicated by the challenges of arranging

Myosin motors fragment and compact membrane-bound actin filaments

Autor: Sven K Vogel, Zdenek Petrasek, Fabian Heinemann, Petra Schwille

Publikováno v: eLife, Vol 2 (2013)

Cell cortex remodeling during cell division is a result of myofilament-driven contractility of the cortical membrane-bound actin meshwork. Little is known about the interaction between individual myofilaments and membrane-bound actin filaments. Here

Reconstitution of a Minimal Actin Cortex by Coupling Actin Filaments to Reconstituted Membranes

Autor: Sven K, Vogel

Publikováno v: Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.). 1365

A thin layer of actin filaments in many eukaryotic cell types drives pivotal aspects of cell morphogenesis and is generally cited as the actin cortex. Myosin driven contractility and actin cytoskeleton membrane interactions form the basis of fundamen
