New research shows that harmful E. coli bacteria in the gut can make the amoeba parasite Entamoeba histolytica more mobile ...

Here, we report the identification of a new class of polymer‐forming proteins, termed bactofilins, that are widely conserved among bacteria. In Caulobacter crescentus, two bactofilin paralogues ...

Neural stem cells developed unique "ring" structures made of protein filaments—a cytoskeletal feature not previously seen in single neural stem cells. Without any other chemical cues ...

It’s a common refrain on social media. We fact-checked this and five other big protein claims circulating online. By Alice Callahan We’re in a protein craze, and it’s hard to ignore.

Their work reveals a mechanism of interdependence of different forms of the cytoskeletal proteins actin and myosin, and their functions. The team also demonstrates the key role of gamma-actin in ...

including histone proteins and several cytoskeletal proteins, as well as organ-specific proteins, including the ZP3 protein, which helps mediate sperm binding to the egg during fertilization.

To obtain more insight into the function of the MTS, we went on to systematically exchange single or multiple amino acid residues in the N-terminal eight amino acids of BacA-mVenus (Figure S1) and ...

Polyglutamylation by the tubulin tyrosine ligase-like (TTLL) family enzymes predominantly regulates cytoskeletal proteins. This study shows that the glutamylase TTLL11 polyglutamylates the Wnt ...

22 MLP protein expression was determined by immunoblotting using ... In conclusion, our study reveals a link between NO and cytoskeletal alterations in cardiac myocytes that may be functionally ...

Studying the clinic pathological properties of NSCLC proteins is a potential alternative for developing treatment strategies. Towards this, 35 downregulated actin cytoskeletal proteins on NSCLC ...

However, its pathogenesis remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of abnormally expressed proteins in the pathogenesis of MMD. Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry ...

Mobile and stationary cells differ in various ways, including their cytoskeleton. This structure of protein filaments makes the cells stable, stretchable and resistant to external forces.
