Mechanisms and regulation of ATP-dependent, steady state actin subunit exchange: Concurrent treadmilling & dynamic instability
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2027-05-01

Actin dynamics in silico, in waves, and in rods
… revealed faster than expected dynamics during treadmilling but not during bulk polymerization. Using an exact stochastic simulation, we investigated whether filament-annealing and -fragmentation might account for faster than expected dynamics; their influence on actin dynamics had not been …

The bacterial actin-like cell division protein FtsA forms antiparallel double filaments upon binding of FtsN
… in FtsA double filaments and, together with treadmilling FtsZ filaments, provides a guiding mechanism for membrane constriction and septal peptidoglycan synthesis during cell division.

Prosthecobacter BtubAB form bacterial mini microtubules
… homopolymeric protofilaments, possibly through treadmilling dynamics. There is strong divergence of the biological functions in the tubulin/FtsZ superfamily. Microtubules are involved in fundamental processes such as motility, transport and chromosomal segregation, whereas FtsZ is involved in …

Dynamics of Active Filament Systems
… Beschreibung zeigen wir, wie "filament treadmilling", also Filament Polymerisierung an einem Ende mit der gleichen Rate wie Depolymerisierung am anderen Ende, zur Spannung in Filament Bündeln und Ringen beitragen kann. Ein zentrales Ergebnis ist, dass die Depolymerisierung von …

Novel roles of ADF/cofilins in maintenance of homeostasis in normal and malignant epithelial cells
… literature on the roles of ADF/cofilins in actin treadmilling and cell migration in vitro and in cancer cell behavior during invasion, very little is known about their collective roles in tissue homeostasis. By employing genetic knock-outs of ADF, in conjunction with conditional depletion of CFL1 …

Simulated impact trauma and osteoarthritis: the role of cell volume and mechanotransduction
… the actin-binding proteins responsible for actin treadmilling cofilin, profilin and gelsolin mRNA was compared to untreated chondrocytes. REV5901 was observed to reduce cofilin (known actin depolymerizing factor) with 30 % (p<0.05) and increase profilin significantly by 75 % (p<0.001) …

Investigating spatial distribution and dynamics of membrane proteins in polymer-tethered lipid bilayer systems using single molecule-sensitive imaging techniques
… the rich dynamics of cell-cell linkages, such as treadmilling of adherens junctions, during cellular force sensing. To overcome this limitation, the 2D confocal imaging methodology was applied to investigate the dynamic assembly of N-cadherin-chimera on the surface of a polymer-tethered lipid …
