Multifunctional Microtubule-Associated Proteins in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Microtubules (MTs) are involved in key processes in plant cells, including cell division, growth and development. MT-interacting proteins modulate MT dynamics and organization, mediating functional and structural interaction of MTs with other cell ...

Manipulation of Host Microtubule Networks by Viral Microtubule-Associated Proteins [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 Diverse DNA and RNA viruses utilize cytoskeletal networks to efficiently enter, replicate, and exit the host cell, while evading host immune responses. It is well established that the microtubule (MT) network is commonly hijacked by viruses to traffic to

The evolution of microtubule associated proteins – a reference proteomic perspective [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), defined as proteins that bind microtubules but are not molecular motors or severing enzymes, play a key role in regulating microtubule stability in neurons.

Emerging role of microtubule-associated proteins on cancer metastasis [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 The major cause of death in cancer patients is strongly associated with metastasis. While much remains to be understood, microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) have shed light on metastatic progression’s molecular mechanisms.

Microtubules and Microtubule-Associated Proteins. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2018 Microtubules act as "railways" for motor-driven intracellular transport, interact with accessory proteins to assemble into larger structures such as the mitotic spindle, and provide an organizational framework to the rest of the cell. Key to these functions is the fact that microtubules are "dynamic." As with actin, the polymer dynamics are driven by ...

Competition between microtubule-associated proteins directs motor transport [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Motor and non-motor microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) bind to the microtubule lattice, but it is unclear how their binding activities are coordinated and how this impacts motor transport.

Phosphorylation of Plant Microtubule-Associated Proteins During Cell Division [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Progression of mitosis and cytokinesis depends on the reorganization of cytoskeleton, with microtubules driving the segregation of chromosomes and their partitioning to two daughter cells.

Subnanometre-resolution structure of the doublet microtubule reveals new classes of microtubule-associated proteins [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Cilia are hair-like appendages involved in cell motility and sensory reception. Here, the authors report a high resolution cryo-EM structure of the microtubule doublet from motile cilia and identify microtubule inner proteins (MIPs) bound to the inner ...

Controlling the Gate: The Functions of the Cytoskeleton in Stomatal Movement
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Stomata are specialized epidermal structures composed of two guard cells and are involved in gas and water exchange between plants and the environment and pathogen entry into the plant interior.
