✦ Synopsis

Pombe Cdc15 homology (PCH) proteins constitute an extensive protein family whose members have been found in diverse eukaryotic organisms. These proteins are characterized by the presence of several conserved sequence and structural motifs. Recent studies in yeast and mammalian cultured cells have implicated these proteins in actin-based processes, in particular, cytokinesis. Here we review the recent findings on the in vivo localization, function, and binding partners of PCH family members. We also provide new microscopy data regarding the in vivo dynamics of a budding yeast PCH protein involved in cytokinesis.

In the current study, we report that cytochalasin-induced disruption of microfilaments stabilizes lymphokine mRNAs in activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Parallel with this, a dose-and time-dependent increase in AU-rich sequence binding protein (AUPB) activities is apparent in the nonionic

## Abstract Extinction learning is associated with a decline of the conditioned fear response (CR). However, re‐exposure to the unconditioned stimulus (US, shock) is associated with the return of the fear response. This study aimed to study the role of protein synthesis and actin rearrangement in t

During actin polymerization, it has been theorized that the actin filament length distribution initially grows in the form of a Gaussian before converting to produce that of an exponential. However, it has been difficult to demonstrate this experimentally. In this study, we use modern fluorescence m
