Abstract: Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) plays a crucial role in Vibrio cholerae mediated pathogenicity. Tip of T6SS is homologous to gp27/gp5 complex or tail spike of T4 bacteriophage. VgrG-1 of V. cholerae T6SS is unusual… read more here.

Abstract: The α-actinin family of actin cross-linking proteins have been implicated in driving tumor cell metastasis through regulation of the actin cytoskeleton; however, there has been little investigation into whether these proteins can influence tumor cell… read more here.

Abstract: The actin cytoskeleton represents a highly dynamic filament system providing cell structure and mechanical forces to drive a variety of cellular processes. The dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton are controlled by a number of conserved… read more here.
