Microtubule-associated proteins and neuronal morphogenesis

Journal of Cell Science, 1991
ABSTRACT The microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are a set of structural proteins that bind to microtubules in vitro. Several of them occur at high levels in neurons where their expression is under strong developmental regulation, suggesting that they are involved in neuronal morphogenesis. Recently cDNAs for several of them have been

MAP2 (Microtubule-Associated Protein 2)

1984
Microtubules are known to play a role in a wide variety of cellular processes. The major component of these structures is tubulin, a globular protein that makes up the microtubule wall. With the introduction of procedures for purifying microtubules (Weisenberg, 1972) it soon became clear that they contained a number of proteins in addition to tubulin ...

Altered Microtubule Associated Proteins in Schizophrenia

NeuroQuantology, 2007
In schizophrenia, altered cognitive and affective functions as well as reduced dendritic spine density and diminished synaptic connectivity have been described. The cytoskeleton plays a key role in maintaining axon and dendrite structure as well as the synaptic connections.

Putative gravisensors among microtubule associated proteins

Cell Biology International, 2017
AbstractDespite of long period of investigation (over 100 years), still a lot of questions remain unclear about molecular mechanisms of plant graviperception. This requires designing new experiments and new approaches to be applied in gravitational biology.

The Phosphorylation of the Microtubule-Associated Tau Proteins

1987
Extracellular signals, including a variety of neurotransmitters and hormones produce diverse physiological responses in neurons but until recently, little was known about the molecular mechanims that underlie these responses. There is now considerable evidence indicating that protein phosphorylation plays an important role in neuronal responses to ...

Microtubule-Associated Proteins in Cerebellar Morphogenesis

1992
In his studies of the cerebellum, Ramon y Cajal (1888,1960) noted, with characteristic clarity, the major features of morphogenesis in the various cell types. Many of his observations are now so familiar as to be commonplace, whereas others are less frequently cited, perhaps because they deal with cellular phenomena whose regulation is still not ...

Microtubule-Associated Protein 4

2010
In contrast with neural microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) such as MAP1, MAP2, and tau, MAP4 is identified as a ubiquitous MAP. MAP4 stimulates tubulin polymerization and stabilizes polymerized-microtubules as do neural MAPs. Because MAP2, MAP4, and tau are structurally similar, the three MAPs are considered to constitute a superfamily.
