Effect of viscoelastic medium on wave propagation along protein microtubules

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
An Orthotropic Kelvin-like model is developed here to study wave dispersion relation along microtubules when they are embedded in viscoelastic material.

Mammalian kinetochores count attached microtubules in a sensitive and switch-like manner. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents anaphase until all kinetochores attach to the spindle. Each mammalian kinetochore binds many microtubules, but how many attached microtubules are required to turn off the checkpoint, and how the kinetochore ...

Microtubule heterogeneity of <i>Ornithogalum umbellatum</i> ovary epidermal cells: non-stable cortical microtubules and stable lipotubuloid microtubules

open access: yesFolia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2011
Lipotubuloids, structures containing lipid bodies and microtubules, are described in ovary epidermal cells of <i>Ornithogalum umbellatum</i>.

Involvement of cytoskeleton microtubules in the formation of induced aerenchyma in adventitious roots of Zea mays (Poaceae)

open access: yesUkrainian Botanical Journal, 2020
Plants of Zea mays were grown for 12 days in sulfur-deficient medium according to a standard technique applied specifically for formation of aerenchyma cavities in the adventitious roots.

The emerging role of microtubules in invasion plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
The ability of cells to switch between different invasive modes during metastasis, also known as invasion plasticity, is an important characteristic of tumor cells that makes them able to resist treatment targeted to a particular invasion mode.

The regulatory effect of Tau protein on polymerization of MCF7 microtubules in vitro

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019
Growing evidence continues to point toward the critical role of beta tubulin isotypes in regulating some intracellular functions. Changes that were observed in the microtubules’ intrinsic dynamics, the way they interact with some chemotherapeutic agents,

A Stochastic Multiscale Model That Explains the Segregation of Axonal Microtubules and Neurofilaments in Neurological Diseases. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2015
The organization of the axonal cytoskeleton is a key determinant of the normal function of an axon, which is a long thin projection of a neuron.

Chlamydia Hijacks ARF GTPases To Coordinate Microtubule Posttranslational Modifications and Golgi Complex Positioning. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis develops in a parasitic compartment called the inclusion. Posttranslationally modified microtubules encase the inclusion, controlling the positioning of Golgi complex fragments around the inclusion.

Microtubule severing [PDF]

open access: yesCell Motility and the Cytoskeleton, 1999
The regulation of microtubule stability by severing of the polymer along its length is a newly appreciated and potentially important mechanism for controlling microtubule function. Microtubule severing occurs in living cells, but direct observation of this event is infrequent.

CLASP promotes microtubule bundling in metaphase spindle independently of Ase1/PRC1 in fission yeast

open access: yesBiology Open, 2019
Microtubules in the mitotic spindle are organised by microtubule-associated proteins. In the late stage of mitosis, spindle microtubules are robustly organised through bundling by the antiparallel microtubule bundler Ase1/PRC1. In early mitosis, however,
