Almost three decades have passed since actin-cytoskeleton (acto-myosin complex) was first discovered in non-muscle cells. A combination of cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology has revealed the structure and function of many actin-binding proteins and their physiological role in the regu
## Background: Interleukin-6 (il-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates growth and differentiation of various types of malignant tumors, including prostate carcinomas. the levels of il-6 are elevated in sera of patients with metastatic prostate cancer. in this study, we evaluate the role of il
For efficient processing, transport, storage, translation, and degradation, stretches of RNA transcripts are required in a single-stranded conformation (ssRNA). A superfamily of OB-fold proteins is characterized by preference of binding to ssRNA. This superfamily consists of proteins containing eith
