Journal ArticleDOI
The molecular architecture of focal adhesions
Brigitte M. Jockusch,Peter Bubeck,Klaudia Giehl,Martina Kroemker,Jutta Moschner,Martin Rothkegel,Manfred Rüdiger,Kathrin Schlüter,Gesa Stanke,Jörg Winkler +9 more
TL;DR: The present knowledge of the architecture, molecular composition, and dynamics of focal contacts of adhesive animal cells, and of possible regulatory mechanisms involving a variety of signal transduction pathways are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profilins as regulators of actin dynamics
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for polyproline motifs in the spinal muscular atrophy protein SMN. Profilins bind to and colocalize with smn in nuclear gems.
Torsten Giesemann,Silvia Rathke-Hartlieb,Martin Rothkegel,Jörg W. Bartsch,Sabine Buchmeier,Brigitte M. Jockusch,Harald Jockusch +6 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that the interaction of PFN II with SMN may be involved in neuron-specific effects of SMN mutations, the primary target of neurodegeneration in SMA.
Book ChapterDOI
The profile of profilins
TL;DR: The wealth of information on structure, expression and functions accumulated on profilins from many different organisms in the 30 years after their discovery as actin-binding proteins is recapitulates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex formation between the postsynaptic scaffolding protein gephyrin, profilin, and mena: A possible link to the microfilament system
Torsten Giesemann,Günter Schwarz,Ralph Nawrotzki,Kerstin Berhörster,Martin Rothkegel,Kathrin Schlüter,Nils Schrader,Hermann Schindelin,Ralf Mendel,Joachim Kirsch,Brigitte M. Jockusch +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that neuronal gephyrin interacts directly with key regulators of microfilament dynamics, profilin I and neuronalprofilin IIa, and with microfilmament adaptors of the mammalian enabled (Mena)/vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family, including neuronal Mena, which can contribute to the postulated linkage between receptors, gephirin scaffolds, and the microfilaments system.
