Analysis of Myopodin in Hela Cervical Carcinoma Cells
(East Carolina University, 2014)Synaptopodin-2 is a proline-rich, actin-binding protein that exists in many isoforms. Due to its large proline content, synaptopodin-2 exists in a naturally unfolded state and possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. ... -
NOVEL NUCLEOLAR LOCALIZATION OF SYNAPTOPODIN-2 ISOFORM IN PROLIFERATING HT-29 CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-13)Members of the Synaptopodin family regulate [alpha]-actinin and actin-bundling activity, in an isoform specific manner (Asunama et al., 2005). The ability to affect actin polymerization and bundling highlights the critical ... -
SYNAPTOPODIN-2 ISOFORM A AND D EXPRESSION IN HT-29 HUMAN COLON ADENOCARCINOMA CELLS
(East Carolina University, 2013)Synaptopodin-2 is a largely unfolded actin-binding protein that also possesses the characteristics of a hub protein. Synaptopodin-2 has other known binding partners such as filamin and [alpha]-actinin (Weins, et al. 2001 ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF BETA-ACTIN MUTANTS WITH ALTERED BINDING AFFINITES FOR ATP AND ADP
(East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)A number of neurodegenerative diseases are accompanied by the formation of cofilin-actin rods in neural cells. These rods can cause synaptic dysfunction and block transport within neurites. The overall goal of this project ...
