The interactions between SATB1 and F-actin are important for mechanisms of active cell death

摘要

Introduction. The direct involvement of nuclear actin filaments in gene transcription and remodeling of chromatin is still debatable. However, nuclear localization of F-actin and its interactions with other nuclear matrix proteins have been reported. The aim of the study was to estimate the interactions between nuclear F-actin and one of the matrix proteins, special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1), during active cell death induced in vitro by geldanamycin (GA).
