Actin Filament Depolymerization01:19

Actin Filament Depolymerization

3.2K
Actin filaments (F-actin) are composed of actin subunits. The dissociation of actin monomers can occur from either end of F-actin. The rate of dissociation is faster from the minus-end or the pointed end, where the actin subunits exist with a bound ADP, together known as ADP-actin. The depolymerization of F-actin is aided by proteins, including the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) and cofilin family of proteins, gelsolin, and glia maturation factor (GMF).
In F-actin, the ADF/cofilin proteins...

Generation of Straight or Branched Actin Filaments01:14

Generation of Straight or Branched Actin Filaments

3.0K
The straight or branched structure formation of actin filaments is controlled by nucleating proteins such as the formins and Arp2/3 complex. Formin-mediated assembly results in straight filaments, whereas Arp2/3 protein complex-mediated assembly results in branched actin filaments.
Arp2/3 Complex
Arp2/3 complex is a seven-subunit complex consisting of two proteins similar to actin- Arp2 and Arp3, and five other subunits that help keep Arp2 and Arp3 inactive. When required, the complex is...

Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

35.8K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle02:37

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle

9.3K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

Mechanism of Filopodia Formation01:39

Mechanism of Filopodia Formation

2.5K
Filopodia are thin, actin-rich cellular protrusions that play an important role in many fundamental cellular functions. They vary in their occurrence, length, and positioning in different cell types, suggesting their diverse roles.
Their main function is to guide migrating cells during normal tissue morphogenesis or cancer metastasis by recognizing and making initial contacts with the extracellular matrix. However, they can also act as stationary cell anchors or help to establish communication...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.6K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Summary

Gelsolin (GSN) and junctional mediating and regulating Y protein (JMY) are key to cellular stress response. JMY affects cell division and motility, while GSN impacts cell division, both interacting with p53 and actin.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Long-term cellular stress leads to elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, initiating apoptosis.
  • Gelsolin (GSN) and junctional mediating and regulating Y protein (JMY) are implicated in cellular stress responses.
  • Both GSN and JMY interact with p53 and actin.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the roles of GSN and JMY in cellular stress response.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of GSN and JMY interactions with p53 and actin under stress.
  • To analyze the effects of GSN and JMY on HeLa cell motility and division rates.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro fluorescence spectroscopy to study protein interactions.
  • Low-voltage electroporation of GSN or JMY in HeLa cells.
  • Scratching assays to evaluate cell motility and division rates.

Main Results:

  • p53 competes with actin for GSN binding, inhibiting p53-JMY complex formation.
  • High Ca2+ levels induce p53 dimerization, promoting p53-JMY nuclear cotransport.
  • JMY electroporation inhibited HeLa cell motility but accelerated cell division.
  • GSN electroporation slowed cell division without affecting motility.

Conclusions:

  • GSN and JMY play significant roles in the cellular stress response.
  • The interplay between GSN, JMY, p53, and actin is crucial for stress adaptation.
  • Modulation of GSN and JMY levels affects cellular dynamics during stress recovery.
