All cells undergo rapid remodeling of their actin networks to regulate such critical processes
as endocytosis, cytokinesis, cell polarity, and cell morphogenesis. These events are driven …

Many extracellular signals elicit changes in the actin cytoskeleton, which are mediated
through an array of signaling proteins and pathways. One family of proteins that plays a role …

We isolated two S. pombe genes, scd7 and s&2, that are required for normal morphology
and mating. scdl and scd2 are homologous to CDC24 and BEY1, respectively, of S …

Cyclase-associated proteins (CAPs) are highly conserved actin monomer binding proteins
present in all eukaryotes. However, the mechanism by which CAPs contribute to actin …

Background: Dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton requires rapid turnover of actin
filaments, which is regulated in part by the actin filament severing/depolymerization factor …

Unlike ubiquitin, the ubiquitin-like protein modifier SUMO-1 and its budding yeast
homologue Smt3p have been shown to be more important for posttranslational protein …

In response to a wide variety of environmental stimuli, the opportunistic fungal pathogen
Candida albicans exits the budding cycle, producing germ tubes and hyphae concomitant …

Dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is fundamental to a number of cell
biological events. A variety of actin-regulatory proteins modulate polymerization and …

CAP (adenylyl cyclase-associated protein) was first identified in yeast as a protein that
regulates both the actin cytoskeleton and the Ras/cAMP pathway. Although the role in Ras …

It was previously demonstrated that avirulent Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain Rhigh
(passage 164) is lacking three proteins that are expressed in its virulent progenitor, strain …
