Cell Mobility & Cytoskeleton
A basic tutorial on the involvement of the cytoskeleton in cell locomotion.
McGough Group
Research on motility through cross-disciplinary research in structural biology. Includes Chicago Cytoskeleton links, profiles of team members, postdoctoral opportunities, job openings at Perdue University, West Lafayette, IN.
Chisholm Lab
Overview of research on myosin and actin, the role of calmodulin, the dynein-dynactin interaction. Includes PDF downloads of publications, and details of Cytoskeleton Journal Club, at the Northwestern University Medical School Chicago, IL.
Build Your Own Actin
Applet for study of filament structure built from subunits. Includes principles, electron micrographs, tutorial, and authors' contacts at the Structural Biochemistry Group, Edinburgh, UK. .
Mucking about with myosin motor mutants
Dissecting the machine that drives muscle contraction. Approach: making mutants, studying their properties, finding second mutants that restore function to defective motors.
Klymkowsky Lab
Research in adhesion, cytoskeletal organization, and gene expression, with methods, staff, publications, collaborations, related links and login. Includes course modules in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Arp2/3 Complex
Research on actin-related proteins and their dynamics in muscle function. Includes sequences, pyrene fluorescence assay, abstracts and researchers in the Arp field, from the University of Birmigham, England.
Cytoskeletal System
Slide show to accompany graduate-level lectures by Gwen V. Childs, at Little Rock, AR.
Cytoskeleton Information Resource
Information on cytoskeletal proteins and methods (from the company Cytoskeleton, Inc.).
Lymphocyte Recirculation and Homing in Immunity
description of how leukocytes recirculate and emigrate into lymphatic tissue for effective immune responses. Many nice images of the cells and tissues of the immune system.
MRC Myosin Home Page
Resources devoted to myosin and muscle biology (MRC-LMB, Cambridge).
Kinesin Home Page
Resources devoted to the kinesin family of microtubule-dependent molecular motors.
Rosenbaum Lab
Group primarily concerned with flagellar assembly in Chlamydomonas, and applications of green fluorescent protein labeling. Includes publications, links to researchers and their projects at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.
Cell Movement
Resource on contractile system proteins, muscle contraction, movement in non-muscle cells and in prokaryotes, related database links, mainatined by the Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Virginia.
