1. Plasma membrane/cytoskeleton interactions in plants
Abstract : The way in which the cortical cytoskeleton associates to the plasma membrane (PM) must be elucidated to understand the structural dynamics of many processes in the plant cell. In the present study, isolated cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) PM vesicles were used to characterize membrane/cytoskeleton interactions. READ MORE

2. Chemoattractant receptor signaling and neutrophil acctivation. Involvement of the cytoskeleton
Abstract : Neutrophil granulocytes play a vital role in the host surveillance system and form the first line of defense against microbial infections. The migration of neutrophils to an infected/inflamed tissue is guided by chemoattractants released either from intruding microbes or from activated/damaged host cells. READ MORE

3. The Chaperonin Containing TCP-1 : Interactions with the Mammalian Cytoskeleton
Abstract : The eukaryotic Chaperonin Containing TCP-1 (CCT) is a heterooligomeric chaperonin essential for enabling the cytoskeletal proteins actin and tubulin to fold to their native state. The eight CCT subunits are encoded by individual genes and are present in cells as the ~960kDa oligomer, as components of micro-complexes, and as monomeric subunits. READ MORE

4. Structure and function of the cytoskeleton in cardiac and skeletal muscle
Abstract : We have examined the functional and structural roles of the cytoskeletal protein desmin in cardiac and skeletal muscles using a genetically modified mouse (Des-/-) with the desmin gene ablated. Desmin forms filaments at the Z-disks in the striated muscle sarcomere, have connections to the sarcolemma and most likely align sarcomeres and whole cells. READ MORE

5. Coiled coil Cytoskeleton in Bacterial Cell Architecture : Studies of Growth and Development in Streptomyces
Abstract : Bacterial cytoskeleton is an exciting and relatively new field of research. Recent findings have proven that microbes are well-organized and neatly structured organisms. READ MORE
