  • Membranes circulate in response to flows in the water surrounding them, but cell membranes are reinforced by a cytoskeletal network of protein filaments which modifies their fluid properties, making their behavior complex and challenging to predict. (aps.org)
  • Previously, we have demonstrated that NPAS3 regulates VGF at the transcriptional level. (frontiersin.org)
  • In line with our previous results, we found that there are marked differences between HD patients and controls at the protein level but not at the transcriptional level. (lu.se)
  • Previous reports have suggested that protein kinases play important roles in the regulation of circadian clocks ( Reischl and Kramer, 2011 ). (elifesciences.org)
  • Though broad in scope, our interrogation of the roles played by semaphorin guidance cues provides insight into the regulation of neural circuit assembly and function. (hopkinsmedicine.org)
  • Here, we show that MAP7, a less-well understood MAP that is localized to branch junctions, provides a key molecular mechanism to regulate microtubule stability during branch formation. (jefferson.edu)
  • Here, we show that Trnp1 is a low complexity protein with the capacity to phase separate. (uni-muenchen.de)
  • Importantly, Trnp1 co‐regulates the architecture and function of these nuclear compartments in vitro and in the developing brain in vivo. (uni-muenchen.de)
  • and abrogates most of Trnp1 protein interactions. (uni-muenchen.de)
  • Protein-biomolecule-interactions are ubiquitous in life, from DNA-replication to regulating the heartbeat. (h-its.org)
  • Fluorescent proteins enable a wide range of applications where they have functioned as cell lineage tracers, reporters of gene expression, or as a measure of protein-protein interactions. (antibodiesinc.com)
  • Studying interactions, we noted that all four Id proteins could dimerize with E47 or E2-2, but not with HASH-1 or dHAND. (lu.se)
  • Structure of the human protein kinase MPSK1 reveals an atypical activation loop architecture. (nih.gov)
  • Neuronal loss of the serine-threonine protein kinase Tao , a regulator of the Hippo signaling pathway, results in supernumerary boutons, each of which contain a normal number of active zones. (sdbonline.org)
