Prime movers : mechanochemistry of mitotic kinesins [PDF]
Mitotic spindles are self-organizing protein machines that harness teams of multiple force generators to drive chromosome segregation. Kinesins are key members of these force-generating teams.

Tau stabilizes microtubules by binding at the interface between tubulin heterodimers
Significance Tau is an important microtubule-associated protein. Although the structure–function relationship of Tau has been intensively studied for many years primarily by molecular biology and biochemical approaches, little is still known about the ...

Microtubules born on microtubules
![Graphic][1] A new MT is nucleated (white arrowhead) by a γ-TuC (green) that sits on an existing MT bundle.Microtubule (MT) arrays form, say Janson et al. ( [page 297][2]), when MT nucleators stick to existing MTs.

A continuous model for microtubule dynamics with catastrophe, rescue and nucleation processes
Microtubules are a major component of the cytoskeleton distinguished by highly dynamic behavior both in vitro and in vivo. We propose a general mathematical model that accounts for the growth, catastrophe, rescue and nucleation processes in the ...

Effects of antibodies against dynein and tubulin on the stiffness of flagellar axonemes [PDF]
Antidynein antibodies, previously shown to inhibit flagellar oscillation and active sliding of axonemal microtubules, increase the bending resistance of axonemes measured under relaxing conditions, but not the bending resistance of axonemes measured ...

Spindles are self-organized microtubule-based structures that segregate chromosomes during cell division. The mass of the spindle is controlled by the balance between microtubule turnover and nucleation. The mechanisms that control the spatial regulation

Immunolocalization of dually phosphorylated MAPKs in dividing root meristem cells of Vicia faba, Pisum sativum, Lupinus luteus and Lycopersicon esculentum [PDF]
Key message In plants, phosphorylated MAPKs display constitutive nuclear localization; however, not all studied plant species show co-localization of activated MAPKs to mitotic microtubules.

The C. elegans tubulin family is composed of nine α-, six β-, and one γ-tubulin. Tubulins are highly conserved, functioning as α-β heterodimers that assemble into microtubules.

In cultured vertebrate neurons, axons have a uniform arrangement of microtubules with plus-ends distal to the cell body (plus-end-out), whereas dendrites contain mixed polarity orientations with both plus-end-out and minus-end-out oriented microtubules ...
