Fesselin and caldesmon: natively unfolded proteins in smooth muscle regulation
(East Carolina University, 2010)Dysregulation of smooth muscle contraction is linked to diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, hypertension, urinary incontinence, premature birth and others. The goal of this project is to contribute to our understanding ... -
Fesselin, a Synaptopodin-like Protein, Stimulates Actin Nucleation and Polymerization
(East Carolina University, 2001-11-27)Fesselin is a proline-rich actin binding protein that has recently been isolated from smooth muscle [Leinweber, B. D., Fredricksen, R. S., Hoffman, D. R., and Chalovich, J. M. (1999) J. Muscle Res. Cell Motil. 20, 539–545]. ... -
Fesselin, an intrinsically disordered smooth muscle protein, organizes and stabilizes actin-myosin and myosin
(East Carolina University, 2014)Fesselin is an intrinsically disordered protein that is known to bind a large variety of cytoskeletal proteins. The proteins fesselin is known to bind include: actin (Leinweber et al. 1999), [alpha]-actinin (Pham et al. ... -
Fine Particulate air Pollution is Associated with Higher Vulnerability to Atrial Fibrillation—The APACR Study

Fine Structure of the Motile Cells and Flagella in a Member of the Actinoplanaceae (Actinomycetales)
(East Carolina University, 1970-11)The motile cells (sporangiospores) of an undescribed member of the Actinoplanaceae are studied by electron microscopy as shadowed, negatively stained, and sectioned preparations. The rod-shaped spores exhibit a typically ... -
Fish oil disrupts B cell plasma membrane lateral organization and immunological synapse formation
(East Carolina University, 2012)Fish oil has immunosuppressive properties that could provide treatment for numerous inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. The primary bioactive components of fish oil, which are the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ... -
