The MAP1 family of microtubule-associated proteins [PDF]
SummaryMAP1-family proteins are classical microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that bind along the microtubule lattice. The founding members, MAP1A and MAP1B, are predominantly expressed in neurons, where they are thought to be important in the ...

Evidence for actin filament-microtubule interaction mediated by microtubule-associated proteins [PDF]
We have used low shear viscometry and electron microscopy to study the interaction between pure actin filaments and microtubules. Mixtures of microtubules having microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) with actin filament have very high viscosities ...

High molecular weight microtubule-associated proteins are preferentially associated with dendritic microtubules in brain. [PDF]
The distributions of tubulin and high molecular weight microtubule-associated proteins (HMWPs) in brain were determined by immunoperoxidase histochemistry with specific antisera.

Interactions between neurofilaments and microtubule-associated proteins: a possible mechanism for intraorganellar bridging [PDF]
Mammalian neurofilaments prepared from brain and spinal cord by either of two methods partially inhibit the in vitro assembly of microtubules. This inhibition is shown to be due to the association of a complex of high molecular weight microtubule ...

Phosphorylation of Plant Microtubule-Associated Proteins During Cell Division [PDF]
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.

Microtubule-associated proteins: subunits of the cytomatrix [PDF]
Microtubules isolated from brain tissue are composed of tubulin and a variety ofnontubulin proteins known as microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS).' The most prominent MAPs in brain microtubule preparations are known as the high molecular weight MAPs (8,

Subnanometre-resolution structure of the doublet microtubule reveals new classes of microtubule-associated proteins [PDF]
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 ...

Lessons from in vitro reconstitution analyses of plant microtubule-associated proteins [PDF]
Plant microtubules, composed of tubulin GTPase, are irreplaceable cellular components that regulate the directions of cell expansion and cell division, chromosome segregation and cell plate formation.

Controlling the Gate: The Functions of the Cytoskeleton in Stomatal Movement
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.
