Recent evidence points to cell-cycle independent functions for cyclin, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and CDK inhibitors (CKIs). In particular, the involvement of these proteins in the regulation of ...

The LIM domain is a modular protein-binding interface that is found in a wide variety of eukaryotic proteins with diverse biological functions. The LIM domain can bind a wide variety of protein ...

Actin and myosin are components of the plant cell cytoskeleton that extend from cell to cell through plasmodesmata (PD), but it is unclear how they are organized within the cytoplasmic sleeve or how ...

Proteomics Approaches to Analysis of the Cytoskeleton in Immune Cells Cytoskeletal proteins are often identified in many proteomic studies either as contaminants, owing to their very high abundance, ...

The cytoskeleton is involved in all main functions of immune cells related to the response to infection. Studies of the cytoskeletal proteome can vastly contribute to our understanding of cytoskeleton ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Cells are characterized to be stable yet highly flexible. They constantly modify their shape and even move through tissue. These vital properties are based on a dynamically organized network of ...

The cytoskeleton of a cell helps provide shape, strength, and an organised structure to the cell. The cytoskeleton can be compared to a transport network facilitating various types of movement in the ...

Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the body's supply of these essential constituents. The tubule can be easily ...
