How can you use “cytoskeleton” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Mutations that disrupt the microtubule cytoskeleton are also known to sensitize cells to TBZ [ 47 ] . However, using anti-tubulin immunofluorescence, we did not discover any gross microtubule cytoskeletal abnormalities in rad26Δ and rad3Δ cells (data not shown).
Previously reported MAGUKs have been studied for these interactions, and elegant work has shown one of its members, p55, to form a ternary complex that links the cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane to maintain proper cell shape [ 3 ] . Also there is significant evidence that MAGUKs are active in protein clustering especially of ion channels and membrane bound receptors [ 6 ] . This interaction has been proven by experiments in which DLG5 mutants show loss of clustering of the Shaker channels at neuromuscular junction [ 6 ] . Mammalian PSD-95 is a MAGUK which binds Kir4.
embryos, as an example of how signalling pathways coordinate and regulate the activity of the cytoskeleton in the generation of shape and morphogenetic movements (Jacinto et al.
Though BDM does not inhibit nm-myosinII, in permeabilized yeast ( S. cerviseae ) BDM has been shown to decrease incorporation of exogenous actin into the cytoskeleton [ 20 ] . This process of actin incorporation requires proteins involved in actin filament formation and proteins that may localize a nucleation complex [ 20 21 ] . To determine if BDM has a similar effect on actin incorporation in mammalian cells, and if so an effect on actin nucleation, spreading Swiss3T3 cells were treated briefly with a media control or 15 mM BDM and then permeabilized with the detergent saponin in the presence of fluorescently labeled actin.
In addition, past studies on the cytoskeleton of detergent-extracted cells have mainly focused on the cell body and subcortex [ 3, 8], but not on microextensions.
