Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Movement of organelles or other particles along actin filaments, or sliding of actin filaments past each other, mediated by motor proteins. The process by which an actin filament is broken down into smaller filaments. Any cellular process that depends upon or alters the actin cytoskeleton, that part of the cytoskeleton comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The actin filament-based process by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in contraction of all or part of the cell body. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of any cellular process that depends upon or alters the actin cytoskeleton. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures comprising actin filaments and their associated proteins. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The actin-based process by which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location in the sperm as part of the acrosome reaction.
