Dissecting the Structural Organization, Recruitment and Activation Mechanisms of Centrosomal γ‐TuRCs

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visualizing human centrosomes using cryo‐electron tomography revealed the native structure and molecular organization of γ‐tubulin ring complexes (γ‐TuRCs). γ‐TuRCs localized to two distinct centrosomal pools, one in the pericentriolar material (PCM) and another in the centriole lumen, which is released during mitosis.

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

LZTS2 Negatively Regulates Centrosomal CEP135 Levels and Microtubule Nucleation

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton is a fundamental functional component of the cell. In vertebrate proliferating cells, centrosomes are the primary microtubule organizing center (MTOC), and their dysregulation has been linked to genomic instability and cancer.

An Orthogonal Way of Writing the Tubulin Code

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Elongator complex has long been characterized for its role in tRNA modification and modulation of protein translation. Beyond these established functions, recent findings reveal an unexpected role for Elongator in directly interacting and tuning microtubule dynamics and properties, broadening its biological significance in eukaryotic cells.

Purification, Fluorescent Labeling, and Detyrosination of Mammalian Cell Tubulin for Biochemical Assays

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

Microtubules and microtubule-associated proteins [PDF]

open access: possibleCurrent Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
Microtubule research is becoming increasingly diverse, reflecting the many isoforms and modifications of tubulin and the many proteins with which microtubules interact. Recent advances are particularly visible in four areas: microtubule motor proteins (their structures, stepping modes, and forces); microtubule nucleation (the roles of centrosomes and ...

Regulation of microtubule-associated proteins

2001
Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) function to regulate the assembly dynamics and organization of microtubule polymers. Upstream regulation of MAP activities is the major mechanism used by cells to modify and control microtubule assembly and organization.
