MYOSIN IIA MOTOR REGULATES ATTACHING-EFFACING BACTERIA INTERACTIONS WITH INTESTINAL EPITHELIUM

Nayden G. Naydenov, Atif Zafar, Susana Lechuga, Ajay H. Zalavadia, Armando Marino-Melendez, John A. Hammer, Velia M. Fowler, Christine McDonald, Kenneth G. Campellone, Andrei I. Ivanov

This study shows that NM IIA limits A/E bacterial colonization by inhibiting actin pedestal formation, while NM IIC does not play a similar role.

Cyclase associated actin cytoskeleton regulatory protein 2 (CAP2) organizes the actin cytoskeleton to influence the biomechanical properties of the ocular lens

Sepideh Cheheltani, Megan Coffin, Velia M. Fowler

This study shows CAP2 loss increases F-actin stabilization and bundling in the lens, leading to stiffer biomechanical properties.

A novel isoform of Tensin1 promotes actin filament assembly for efficient erythroblast enucleation

Arit Ghosh, Megan Coffin, Dimitri M. Diaz, Sarah Barndt, Vincent Schulz, Patrick G. Gallagher, Su Hao Lo, Velia M. Fowler

The paper identifies a novel truncated form of Tensin-1 (eTNS1) that promotes actin filament assembly, essential for efficient erythroblast enucleation during human erythroid differentiation.

Proteomic and functional analyses of the periodic membrane skeleton in neurons

Ruobo Zhou, Boran Han, Roberta B. Nowak, Yunzhe Lu, Evan Heller, Chenglong Xia, Athar H. Chishti, Velia M. Fowler, Xiaowei Zhuang

The paper identifies and validates MPS-interacting proteins in neurons, showing their periodic distribution and functional roles in axon interactions and diameter regulation.
