Pollen tubes extend rapidly via tip growth. This process depends on a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

For a long time, PLS3 (plastin 3, also known as T-plastin or fimbrin) has been considered a
rather inconspicuous protein, involved in F-actin-binding and-bundling. However, in recent …

The plant actin cytoskeleton is characterized by the basic properties of dynamic array, which
plays a central role in numerous conserved processes that are required for diverse cellular …

Polarized tip growth is a fundamental cellular process in many eukaryotes. In this study, we
examined the dynamic restructuring of the actin cytoskeleton and its relationship to vesicle …

The actin cytoskeleton is a complex network controlled by a vast array of intricately regulated
actin-binding proteins. Human plastins (PLS1, PLS2, and PLS3) are evolutionary conserved …

Since our discovery in 2013 that genetic defects in PLS3 lead to bone fragility, the
mechanistic details of this process have remained obscure. It has been established that …

Regulation of the cytoskeleton is essential for cell migration in health and disease.
Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 1 (lcp1, also called L-plastin) is a hematopoietic-specific actin …

Background Plant cell walls participate in all plant-environment interactions. Maintaining cell
wall integrity (CWI) during these interactions is essential. This realization led to increased …

Roma are a socially and culturally distinct isolated population with genetically divergent
subisolates, residing mainly across Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe. We evaluated …

The angiosperm pollen tube delivers two sperm cells into the embryo sac through a unique
growth strategy, named tip growth, to accomplish fertilization. A great deal of experiments …
