Morgan, Rachel E. "Is the Cytoskeleton Necessary for Viral Replication?" Digital Archive @ GSU, 2012. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/biology_theses/38.

Full text

Abstract:

The cytoskeleton plays an important role in trafficking proteins and other macromolecular moieties throughout the cell. Viruses have been thought to depend heavily on the cytoskeleton for their replication cycles. However, studies, including one in our lab, found that some viruses are not inhibited by anti-microtubule drugs. This study was undertaken to evaluate the replication of viruses from several families in the presence of cytoskeleton-inhibiting drugs and to examine the intracellular localization of the proteins of one of these viruses, Sindbis virus, to test the hypothesis that alterna

Abstract:

The lens of the eye is a vital tissue in the visual system, responsible for the collection and focusing of light on to the retina. Comprised of epithelial cells at differing stages of differentiation, the transparency of the lens is dependent on the highly ordered crystalline structure of lens proteins. The lens consists of several proteins including crystallins (α, β, γ) that make up 90% of the soluble protein, and the lens cytoskeletal proteins. Cytoskeletal proteins contribute only a fraction of the total lens protein, but are thought to play an important role in the establishment and maint

Abstract:

A yeast-two hybrid screen with Lyn identified a novel 130 kDa multidomain protein with a 36% identity to Actin Filament Associated Protein (AFAP) 110 and similar domains, including PH domains, potential sites of tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation, a leucine-zipper domain, a potential actin binding site and multimerization site. AFAP110 has been shown to have a role in modulating actin filament integrity and induce lamellipodia formation, and is known to interact with Src family kinases. The aim of this thesis was to characterize this novel protein named Lyn-Associated Cytoskeletal M

Abstract:

Dynamic alterations in the actin cytoskeleton, under the regulation of the Rho/ROCK pathway, permit cell motility, cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesion, and have also been shown to participate in apoptosis and cell proliferation. These facets of cellular behaviour all have the capacity to become dysregulated in cancer; components of the Rho/ROCK pathway are known to play varying roles in these processes, both within primary tumours and within the tumour microenvironment. The LIM kinases are phosphorylated and activated by ROCK, leading to inactivation of cofilin and subsequent stabilisatio

Abstract:

Targeting the cytoskeleton (CSK) of cancer cells offers a valuable strategy in cancer therapy. Whereas drugs which address microtubule CSK such as vinca alkaloids or taxanes are well established in the clinic, compounds binding to the actin CSK are still far away from their therapeutical application. One reason might be the lacking knowledge on their mode of cytotoxicity and moreover their tumor specific mechanism of action. We used the myxobacterial compound Chondramide as a tool to first elucidate the mechanisms of cytotoxicity by actin targeting in different breast cancer cells, namely MC

Abstract:

Fenestrae are transcellular membrane pores that mediate blood-tissue exchange in highly specialized vascular endothelia such as in choroidal capillaries. Substances that traverse the pore never encounter the contents of the cytoplasm and are transported in a rapid and presumably energy-efficient manner. Fenestrae arise in attenuated regions of the endothelial cell periphery and are highly organized in clusters termed sieve plates. My PhD project was based on the identification of novel components of fenestrae and how these components contribute to mechanisms regulating fenestra formation. Usin

In an effort to better understand character evolution in the cytoskeleton (pellicle) of euglenid protists, I used comparative and descriptive methods to investigate the morphological diversity and development of pellicle surface patterns formed by differences in strip length at the anterior and posterior ends of the cell (strip reduction). By observing dividing Euglena gracilis cells with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and integrating these data with previous evolutionary and developmental research, I showed that these patterns result from the semiconservative duplication and subsequent in

Prions are infectious protein entities capable of self-replication. Prions are the causal agents behind the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies causing neurodegeneration and death in affected organisms. Prions have been identified in yeast with the best-characterized prions being [PSI+] and [PIN+], whose respective native proteins are the Sup35 translation termination factor and Rnq1 (function unknown). Autophagy is a cellular housekeeping mechanism mediating the degradation of damaged proteins and superfluous organelles. It is a highly sequential process regulated by autophagy related g

Abstract:

Every day, general anaesthetics are given to a large number of patients around the world but the cellular mechanisms of how anaesthetics act are still not clear. General anaesthetics cause the intended unconsciousness, amnesia and immobility in patients, but also side effects such as a decrease in mean arterial pressure and arrhythmia, both of which contribute to complications such as heart damage and stroke. With more knowledge of the mechanism of anaesthetic drugs, these complications could be reduced. It has been shown that anaesthetics cause a disruption of the thalamocortical connectivity

Introduction: Articular cartilage comprises a dense extracellular matrix (ECM) of primarily collagen, proteoglycans and water interspersed with the cartilage cell- the chondrocyte.

Increased or abnormal joint loading is a risk factor for OA and can regulate chondrocyte phenotype. The chondrocyte cytoskeleton comprises actin microfilaments, tubulin microtubules and vimentin intermediate filaments and has been implicated in the propagation of physical signals to the chondrocyt

In animal cells, the relationship between the Golgi apparatus and cytoskeleton has been well characterised but not much is known in plants. The functions of the Golgi apparatus are conserved amongst eukaryotes. It is one of the main stations in the secretory pathway and is involved in protein processing and sorting to different destinations. In plants, it is also involved in trafficking and positioning of cell wall components. In tobacco epidermal cells, fluorescent labelling with Golgi marker proteins has shown that the Golgi apparatus is made of hundreds of individual units scattered in the

Ephrin ligands and their Eph receptors play an essential role in angiogenesis during development. Both ephrins and Eph receptors are membrane-tethered proteins and their interaction at sites of cell-cell contact triggers bi-directional signalling, with signals transduced from the receptor (forward signalling) and ligand (reverse signalling). I have used two model systems to study ephrin-B2 signalling: Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts expressing exogenous ephrin-B2 and Human Umbilical Arterial Endothelial Cells (HUAECs) endogenously expressing ephrin-Bs.
