Visualization of ligand-induced G i -protein activation in chemotaxing cells.

TL;DR: A Förster resonance energy transfer probe is developed, R10‐Gi, by linking the Gi‐protein α subunit to the regulator of G‐protein signaling domain to clarify the mechanisms underlying the subcellular regulation of Gi‐ protein activity, as well as GPCR‐mediated ligand sensing, during chemotaxis in mammalian cells.

Control of cAMP signalling in the cellular migration of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Alex Burdyga
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate events such as cell ruffling and focal adhesion assembly, which are processes closely associated with cellular motility in PDAC and the effect of cAMP, and its effectors, on the rate of migration.

Combining building thermal simulation methods and LCA methods

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe recent efforts made by the Danish Building Research Institute regarding the integration of a life cycle assessment (LCA) method into a whole building hygro-thermal simulation tool.

Cyclase-associated protein 2 (CAP2) controls MRTF-A localization and SRF activity in mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

TL;DR: In this article, cyclase-associated proteins (CAPs) were shown to be important regulators of actin dynamics that control assembly and disassembly of Factin filaments (F-actin).

Cyclase-associated protein 2 (CAP2) controls MRTF-A localization and SRF activity in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

TL;DR: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts from CAP2 mutant mice are exploited to deciphering the CAP2-dependent mechanism relevant for SRF activity and it is revealed that in MEFs CAP2 controls basal MRTF-A localization andSRF activity, while it was dispensable for serum-induced nuclear MRTF/SRF translocation and SRF stimulation.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPases in cell biology.

TL;DR: Rho GTPases are molecular switches that control a wide variety of signal transduction pathways in all eukaryotic cells and their ability to influence cell polarity, microtubule dynamics, membrane transport pathways and transcription factor activity is probably just as significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.
