C‐Terminal Tail Elongation Adds a New Dimension to the Tubulin Code
ABSTRACT Tubulin C‐terminal tails undergo diverse post‐translational modifications that regulate microtubule interactions with motors and severing enzymes. TTLL11, a member of the tubulin tyrosine ligase‐like (TTLL) family, uniquely catalyzes glutamate addition to the terminal α‐carboxyl group of both α‐ and β‐primary tubulin tails.

Physics of Transport and Traffic Phenomena in Biology: from molecular motors and cells to organisms
Traffic-like collective movements are observed at almost all levels of biological systems. Molecular motor proteins like, for example, kinesin and dynein, which are the vehicles of almost all intra-cellular transport in eukayotic cells, sometimes ...

Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.

Kinesins, biomolecular motors moving along microtubules (MTs) in cells, can potentially be utilized as nano-scale transport systems with an inverted gliding assay, in which the MTs glide on a kinesin-coated surface.

Model for how α‐syn modulates the positioning of endolysosomes in melanoma cells. (a) α‐syn tethers endolysosomes to the plasma membrane, a last step in anterograde transport. (b) Loss of α‐syn expression causes the loss of the tethering function, which leads to perinuclear vesicle clustering. Reproduced from the open access article.

Molecular motors: design, mechanism and control
Biological functions in each animal cell depend on coordinated operations of a wide variety of molecular motors. Some of the these motors transport cargo to their respective destinations whereas some others are mobile workshops which synthesize ...

Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development
ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.
