Functional significance of actin isoforms.- Assembly and maintenance of myofibrils in striated muscle cells.- Myosins: Domain organisation, motor properties, physiological roles and cellular functions.- Actin filament structures in migrating vertebrate cells.- Signalling pathways controlling cellular actin organization.- Actin-based endocytosis.- ADP-ribosylation and cross-linking of actin by bacterial protein toxins.- Common themes in cytoskeletal remodeling by intracellular bacterial effectors.- Viruses that exploit actin-based motility for their replication and spread.- Multiscale view of cytoskeletal mechanoregulation of cell and tissue polarity.- Molecular control of actin dynamics in vivo insights from Drosophila.- From cytoskeleton to gene expression – actin in the nucleus.
Provides an up-to-date handbook on the organisation and dynamics of actin and the interaction with its companions
Presents the cutting-edge view on the role of the actin cytoskeleton in signalling pathways
Features the hot-topic research on the activity of toxins, viral and bacterial pathogens on the actin cytoskeleton
Introduces the present knowledge on the activity of actin on chromatin organisation, transcription and RNA transport
