The yeast actin cytoskeleton: from cellular function to biochemical mechanism

JB Moseley, BL Goode - Microbiology and Molecular Biology …, 2006 - Am Soc Microbiol
All cells undergo rapid remodeling of their actin networks to regulate such critical processes
as endocytosis, cytokinesis, cell polarity, and cell morphogenesis. These events are driven …

[HTML][HTML] Crystal structures of a Formin Homology-2 domain reveal a tethered dimer architecture

Y Xu, JB Moseley, I Sagot, F Poy, D Pellman, BL Goode… - Cell, 2004 - cell.com
Formin proteins participate in a wide range of cytoskeletal processes in all eukaryotes. The
defining feature of formins is a highly conserved ∼400 residue region, the Formin Homology-…

A spatial gradient coordinates cell size and mitotic entry in fission yeast

JB Moseley, A Mayeux, A Paoletti, P Nurse - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Many eukaryotic cell types undergo size-dependent cell cycle transitions controlled by the
ubiquitous cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1 (refs 1 ). The proteins that control Cdk1 activity are …

A conserved mechanism for Bni1-and mDia1-induced actin assembly and dual regulation of Bni1 by Bud6 and profilin

JB Moseley, I Sagot, AL Manning, Y Xu… - Molecular biology of …, 2004 - Am Soc Cell Biol
Formins have conserved roles in cell polarity and cytokinesis and directly nucleate actin
filament assembly through their FH2 domain. Here, we define the active region of the yeast …

The formin mDia2 stabilizes microtubules independently of its actin nucleation activity

F Bartolini, JB Moseley, J Schmoranzer… - The Journal of cell …, 2008 - rupress.org
A critical microtubule (MT) polarization event in cell migration is the Rho/mDia-dependent
stabilization of a subset of MTs oriented toward the direction of migration. Although mDia …

Adenomatous polyposis coli protein nucleates actin assembly and synergizes with the formin mDia1

…, F Bartolini, AM Deaconescu, JB Moseley… - Journal of cell …, 2010 - rupress.org
The tumor suppressor protein adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) regulates cell protrusion
and cell migration, processes that require the coordinated regulation of actin and microtubule …

[HTML][HTML] Differential activities and regulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae formin proteins Bni1 and Bnr1 by Bud6

JB Moseley, BL Goode - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 - ASBMB
Formins are conserved proteins that nucleate actin assembly and tightly associate with the
fast growing barbed ends of actin filaments to allow insertional growth. Most organisms …

[HTML][HTML] Regulated binding of adenomatous polyposis coli protein to actin

JB Moseley, F Bartolini, K Okada, Y Wen… - Journal of Biological …, 2007 - ASBMB
Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein is a large tumor suppressor that is truncated in
most colorectal cancers. The carboxyl-terminal third of APC protein mediates direct …

A high-affinity interaction with ADP-actin monomers underlies the mechanism and in vivo function of Srv2/cyclase-associated protein

…, J Kugler, JB Moseley… - Molecular biology of …, 2004 - Am Soc Cell Biol
Cyclase-associated protein (CAP), also called Srv2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a
conserved actin monomer-binding protein that promotes cofilin-dependent actin turnover in vitro …

Twinfilin is an actin-filament-severing protein and promotes rapid turnover of actin structures in vivo

JB Moseley, K Okada, HI Balcer… - Journal of cell …, 2006 - journals.biologists.com
Working in concert, multiple actin-binding proteins regulate the dynamic turnover of actin
networks. Here, we define a novel function for the conserved actin-binding protein twinfilin, …
