Abstract
Classical transmembrane receptors have been described for both adrenomedullin (AM) and proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP). Through interactions with these membrane receptors, AM and PAMP exert a variety of endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine functions. In addition to these better known activities, recent publications have shown that both peptides can bind directly to the cytoskeleton resulting in important cellular physiological responses. In vitro and in vivo experiments show that the peptides bind to major components of the cytoskeleton: tubulin and kinesin for PAMP and a number of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) in the case of AM. Physiological experiments show that PAMP contributes to microtubule fluidity and increases kinesin speed. Lack of AM and PAMP results in hyperpolymerization of the cytoskeleton and a reduced motility of intracellular organelles. These data suggest that the cytoskeleton may have a novel function as an intracellular receptor, acting as the binding site and the signal transducer for specific peptide hormones such as PAMP.
Keywords: Adrenomedullin, PAMP, tubulin, kinesin, protein-protein interaction.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
