Structure of Actin-related protein 8 and its contribution to nucleosome binding (2012, background): “Filamentactivated Q137 plays a critical role in ATP hydrolysis (46) (Figure 2D–F), since Q137 is in closer proximity to the g-phosphate in polymerized actin (Figure 2F) (47,48), and stimulates the ATPase >40 000-fold (49).”
Actin and Actin-Binding Proteins. (2016, methodology): “2005) docked on the barbed end of the actin filament model from fiber diffraction (Oda et al. 2009) and refined by molecular-dynamics simulation (Baker et al.”
Genetic dissection of active forgetting in labile and consolidated memories in Drosophila (2019, background): “However, actin dynamics is a balanced play that requires continuous turnover between polymerization and depolymerization (43).”
The vertebrate muscle Z-disc: sarcomere anchor for structure and signalling (2009, methodology): “Recently Oda et al. (2009) used higher resolution X-ray fibre diffraction data from highly aligned actin filament sols to model F-actin and found that the inner and outer domains of G-actin twist by 20 in the transition from G- to F-actin.”
Actin Structure and Function (2011, neutral): “This cleft mediates important longitudinal contacts between actin subunits in the filament (16, 35) and constitutes the major binding site for most ABPs, and is thus called the targetbinding or hydrophobic cleft (10).”
