  2. 1. Actin and profilin:actin : studies on biochemistry, structure and function

    Author : Tomas Nyman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  4. 2. Profilin:actin in cell motility : A search for profilin:actin binding proteins

    Author : Thomas Johansson; Roger Karlsson; Björn Öbrink; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; profilin; actin; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The profilin:actin complex is a major source of actin for actin filament growth in vivo. A number of proteins regulating either profilin or actin has been described since profilin:actin was isolated during the 1970s. Since then, profilin and actin and their binding partners have been intensively studied. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cross-linked Profilin:actin - A tool to study actin dynamics in non-muscle cells

    Author : Staffan Grenklo; Roger Karlsson; Dan Lindholm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actin dynamics; profilin; actin; Profilin-actin complex; Cell motility; synaptic vesicle trafficing; Far western; fluorescence microscopy; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The microfilament system, consisting of actin and a number of auxiliary proteins, is fundamental for cell motility. Its dynamic organization depends on receptor-mediated signals, leading to rapid polymerizations and depolymerizations of actin. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biophysical studies of the actin-myosin motor system and applications in nanoscience

    Author : Mohammad A. Rahman; Alf Månsson; Kazuhiro Oiwa; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; myosin II; actin; actomyosin force generating cycle; blebbistatin; in vitro motility assay; actin affinity purification; blocking actin; bionanodevices; proteinase k; SDS; triton X100; surface recycling; engineered myosin motor; programmable gate; biocomputation.; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The actin-myosin motor system plays important roles in cellular processes. In addition, actin and myosin have been used for developments towards nanotechnological applications in recent years. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Actin Filament System : Its Involvement in Cell Migration and Neurotransmitter Release

    Author : Anna-Karin Johnsson; Roger Karlsson; Stéphane Gasman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Actin; Profilin; Synaptotagmin; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The microfilament system consists of actin filaments as the major component and is regulated by a number of actin binding proteins. It is juxtaposed to the plasma membrane where it forms a dense cortical weave from where it pervades into the cell interior. READ MORE
