The cytoskeleton of animal cells is one of the most complicated and functionally versatile
structures, involved in processes such as endocytosis, cell division, intra-cellular transport …

The integrity of the cytoskeleton is essential to diverse cellular processes such as
phagocytosis and intracellular trafficking. Disruption of the organization and dynamics of the …

The emergence of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton is a critical yet puzzling step of
eukaryogenesis. Actin and actin-related proteins (ARPs) are ubiquitous components of this …

While it is long known that actin is part of the nuclear proteome, its properties and functions
as regulated, functional and dynamically assembled actin filaments are only recently …

Actin, one of the most abundant intracellular proteins in mammalian cells, is a critical
regulator of cell shape and polarity, migration, cell division, and transcriptional response …

Abstract The classical small Rho GTPase (Rho, Rac, and Cdc42) protein family is mainly
responsible for regulating cell motility and polarity, membrane trafficking, cell cycle control …

The actin cytoskeleton governs a vast array of core eukaryotic phenotypes that include cell
movement, endocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and cytokinesis. Although the basic principle …

The evolution of the circulatory system from invertebrates to mammals has involved the
passage from an open system to a closed in-parallel system via a closed in-series system …

Actin, as an ancient and fundamental protein, participates in various cytoplasmic as well as
nuclear functions in eukaryotic cells. Based on its manifold tasks in the nucleus, it is a …

Actin is a major component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. Many related actin homologues
can be found in eukaryotes1, some of them being present in most or all eukaryotic lineages …
