Actin binding domain of Rng2 sparsely bound on F-actin strongly inhibits actin movement on myosin II

Y. Hayakawa, M. Takaine, K. X. Ngo, T. Imai, M. Yamada, A. B. Behjat, K. Umeda, K. Hirose, A. Yurtsever, N. Kodera, K. Tokuraku, O. Numata, T. Fukuma, T. Ando, K. Nakano, T. Uyeda

The paper shows that the Rng2CHD domain inhibits actin filament motility on myosin II at low binding ratios, suggesting it modulates actin-myosin interactions through structural changes.

Unraveling the host-selective toxic interaction of cassiicolin with lipid membranes and its cytotoxicity

K. X. Ngo, N. B. Quoc, P. D. N. Nguyen, H. Furusho, M. Miyata, T. Shimonaka, N. N. B. Chau, N. P. Vinh, N. A. Nghia, T. O. Mohammed, T. Ichikawa, N. Kodera, H. Konno, T. Fukuma, T. Ando

This study investigates how cassiicolin toxins interact with plant lipid membranes, showing that their cytotoxicity depends on lipid composition and that specific rubber clones resist the toxins.

GTP-dependent formation of straight oligomers leads to nucleation of microtubules

R. Ayukawa, S. Iwata, H. Imai, S. Kamimura, M. Hayashi, K. X. Ngo, I. Minoura, S. Uchimura, T. Makino, M. Shirouzu, H. Shigematsu, K. Sekimoto, B. Gigant, E. Muto

The paper shows that GTP-dependent formation of straight oligomers is essential for microtubule nucleation, with a mutation increasing straight oligomers and accelerating nucleation.
