The addition of propionic acid to rabbit neutrophils causes cell acidification and increases the amount of actin associated with the cytoskeleton. Both responses are rapid, and while the cell acidification is somewhat long-lasting, the increase in cytoskeletal actin is transient. It reaches a maximu

The gelsolin gene family encodes a number of higher eukaryotic actin-binding proteins that are thought to function in the cytoplasm by severing, capping, nucleating or bundling actin filaments. Recent evidence, however, suggests that several members of the gelsolin family may have adopted unexpected
Villin, a calcium-regu-dted actin-binding protein, modulates the structure and assembly of actin filaments in vitro. It is organized into three domains, the first two of which are homologous. Villin is mainly produced in epithelial cells that develop a brush border and which are responsible for nutr
## Abstract The IGF/IGFβIR system plays a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of Ewing's sarcoma. In this article, the authors evaluated whether the insulinβlike growth factor binding proteinβ3 (IGFBPβ3), a molecule with growthβinhibitory and proapoptotic activities, may be exploited for
