Transcription of DNA into RNA is an extraordinarily complex, highly regulated process. Gene transcription depends on a complex molecular machine consisting of more than 100 proteins. It is turned on ...

A tiny chemical modification on one of the most abundant and important proteins in cells, actin, has long been somewhat mysterious, its function not fully understood, but scientists have now taken a ...

Over the last several years the identification and functional characterization of the motor proteins actin and myosin in the nucleus has initiated a change in the view of nuclear processes. It is now ...

Actin filaments (F-actin) are key components of sarcomeres, the basic contractile units of skeletal muscle myofibrils. A crucial step during myofibril differentiation is the sequential exchange of ...

Actin, a protein with a well-known job in the cytoplasm and an active role in muscle contraction, moonlights in the nucleus. It's function there was not understood, but now scientists find that it ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A vast array of actin binding proteins (ABPs), together with intracellular signaling molecules, modulates the spatiotemporal distribution of ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...

Aberystwyth UK – April 5 th 2023 – A new clinical study of adults with moderate joint health issues demonstrated that a novel iminosugar-containing dietary supplement ingredient, marketed as Q-actin® ...

Most cancer cells use an enzyme called telomerase to rebuild their telomeres. In this study, Dr Ashley Harman from CMRI’s ...
