Bundles of cross-linked filaments nucleated by For3p undergo retrograde flow away from cell tips towards the cell center [4], [5] where they disassemble through filament severing processes [2].
Katanin may also play a role in M-phase severing processes at the spindle poles in mammalian cells when spindle pole microtubules become depolymerized (McNally et al. 1996; McNally and Thomas 1998).
In reality, the process of severing Scotland from UK/rUK will go on for very many years, no matter what.
He is in the process of severing ties from the Ireland-based boutique agency Horizon Sports Management, which signed him to three major deals in the year's first four months.
Modeling of spatiotemporal actin remodeling processes including severing and end-to-end annealing reactions will be a challenge but crucial to understand how such actin remodeling processes propagate within the actin array and regulate cell edge protrusion.
Gelsolin severed filaments in an apparent first-order process (Fig. 4c), suggesting that we are able to detect individual severing events in this assay.
The microtubule-severing protein katanin has been implicated in this process (Ahmad et al. 1999; Baas 1999; McNally and Vale 1993; McNally et al. 2000).
Officials, sounding cool, noted that there were precious few relations left to break, since Egypt had long been severing ties to punish Israel for refusing to yield to the Palestinians in the peace process.
Along the coast, the USS Arco was torn from her moorings, severing two anchors and shearing a cleat – tested for over 50000 and, respectively – in the process.
Here, we discuss the process of branched actin-filament network disassembly, which mechanistically can be broken down into three steps, discussed below: debranching, severing and depolymerization, and monomer recycling.
