Regulation of the actin cytoskeleton by cell signaling /--a thesis presented by Le Ma. (1999)

Ma, Le.

Thesis (Ph. D., Division of Medical Sciences (Cell and Developmental Biology))--Harvard University, 1999.

Two tandem verprolin homology domains are necessary for a strong activation of Arp2/3 complex-induced actin polymerization and induction of microspike formation by N-WASP

Yamaguchi, Hideki, Miki, Hiroaki, Suetsugu, Shiro, Ma, Le, Kirschner, Marc W., Takenawa, Tadaomi

All WASP family proteins share a common C terminus that consists of the verprolin homology domain (V), cofilin homology domain (C), and acidic region (A), through which they activate Arp2/3...

The Arp2/3 complex mediates actin polymerization induced by the small GTP-binding protein Cdc42

Ma, Le, Rohatgi, Rajat, Kirschner, Marc W.

The small GTP-binding protein Cdc42 is thought to induce filopodium formation by regulating actin polymerization at the cell cortex. Although several Cdc42-binding proteins have been identified and...

CR16 forms a complex with N-WASP in brain and is a novel member of a conserved proline-rich actin-binding protein family

Ho, Hsin-Yi Henry, Rohatgi, Rajat, Ma, Le, Kirschner, Marc W.

The Neuronal Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) has emerged as a central regulator of the actin cytoskeleton with abilities to integrate multiple upstream signal inputs and transmit them to...
