Actin is the most abundant protein in most eukaryotic cells. It is highly conserved and
participates in more protein-protein interactions than any known protein. These properties …

Slow oxidation of sulfhydryls, forming covalently linked actin dimers and higher oligomers,
accounts for increases in the shear elasticity of purified actin observed after aging. Disulfide …

Actin, one of the main proteins of muscle and cytoskeleton, exists as a vaiety of highly
conserved isoforms whose distribution in vertebrates is tissue-specific. Synthesis of specific …

Actin is one of the most widespread proteins in eukaryotic cells. This book and its
companion (" Molecular Interactions of Actin. Actin Structure and Actin-Binding Proteins") …

Actin is interesting. We state this not just because actin is so plentiful that it is the single most
abundant protein in many eukaryotic cells. Actin is interesting not only because it is so highly …

Actin and its dynamic structural remodelings are involved in multiple cellular functions,
including maintaining cell shape and integrity, cytokinesis, motility, navigation, and muscle …

We have used transient phosphorescence anisotropy (TPA) to detect changes in actin
structural dynamics associated with oxidative inhibition of muscle contraction. Contractility of …

Although actin is often thought of as a single protein, in mammals it actually consists of six
different isoforms encoded by separate genes. Each isoform is remarkably similar to every …

The susceptibility of monomeric actin to both methionine and cysteine oxidation when
treated with the oxidizing agent tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BH) was investigated. The results …

Actin isoforms organize into distinct networks that are essential for the normal function of
eukaryotic cells. Despite a high level of sequence and structure conservation, subtle …
