まとめ

S. cerevisiaeのRAS2遺伝子,特にRAS2val19の変異は,アデニラートサイクラース活性と周期性AMPレベルを変化させることで,他の変異の効果を模倣する. これは,IACとbcy1変異と同様に,酵母菌の成長と細胞応答に影響します.

The Mechanics of (Poro-)Elastic Contractile Actomyosin Networks As a Model System of the Cell Cytoskeleton

In this work, an in vitro reconstitution approach is employed to study the poroelasticity of actomyosin gels under controlled conditions. The dynamics of the actomyosin gel and the embedded solvent are quantified, through which the network poroelasticity is demonstrated. We also discuss the experimental challenges, common pitfalls, and relevance to cell cytoskeleton...
