β-actin is essential for structural integrity and physiological function of the retina

P. Vedula, M. E. Fina, B. A. Bell, S. S. Nikonov, A. Kashina, D. W. Dong

This study shows that β-actin is essential for maintaining normal retinal structure and function, as β-to-γ actin replacement leads to age-related degeneration in mice.

Different translation dynamics of β- and γ-actin regulates cell migration

P. Vedula, S. Kurosaka, B. Mactaggart, Q. Ni, G. A. Papoian, Y. Jiang, D. W. Dong, A. Kashina

The paper shows that differences in translation elongation rates between β- and γ-actin, due to their coding sequences, affect cell migration by altering actin dynamics and focal adhesion function.
