Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...

Regulation of kinesin activity by phosphorylation of kinesin-associated proteins.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994 The mechanochemical motor proteins of the kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein families play important roles in microtubule-based intracellular motility. Although movement and distribution of organelles like secretory granules, vesicles, endoplasmic reticulum, and chromosomes depend on the activity of these motor proteins, little is known about the ...

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

S. pombe Kinesins-8 Promote Both Nucleation and Catastrophe of Microtubules
PLoS ONE, 2012 The kinesins-8 were originally thought to be microtubule depolymerases, but are now emerging as more versatile catalysts of microtubule dynamics. We show here that S.

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.Scheme for the labeling of the cell membrane. The scattering tags, gold nanoparticles of two different diameters (Ø20 nm and Ø40 nm), target the biotinylated lipids inserted in the cellular membrane, owing to their streptavidin coating. The possible, although not certain, effects of cross‐linking are also highlighted (dashed line).

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance
Glia, EarlyView.Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons during rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic lipids and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production of ...

In vitro Microtubule Bundling Assay under Physiological Conditions
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Kinesins play a role in organizing the mitotic spindle through the crosslinking of microtubules (MTs), made possible through binding sites at opposite ends of the holoenzyme.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ferroptosis resistance is a key player in cervical cancer (CC) development. Hypoxia is a negative factor affecting CC treatment by inducing ferroptosis resistance. Our study aimed to investigate the detailed mechanisms of hypoxia‐induced ferroptosis resistance in CC cells.
