Single-filament kinetic studies provide novel insights into regulation of actin-based motility.

abstract：:Lamellipodia of crawling cells represent both the motor for cell advance and the primary building site for the actin cytoskeleton. The organization of actin in the lamellipodium reflects actin dynamics and is of critical importance for the mechanism of cell motility. In previous structural studies, the lamellipodial a...

abstract：:Actin is involved in endocytosis in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. In activated Xenopus eggs, exocytosing cortical granules (CGs) are surrounded by actin "coats," which compress the exocytosing compartments, resulting in compensatory endocytosis. Here, we examined the roles of two myosins in actin coat compr...

abstract：:ER quality control (ERQC) prevents the exit of misfolded secretory and membrane proteins from the ER. A critical aspect of ERQC is a transcriptional response called the unfolded protein response (UPR), which up-regulates genes that enable cells to cope with misfolded, ER-retained proteins. In this study, we compare th...
