Purification, Fluorescent Labeling, and Detyrosination of Mammalian Cell Tubulin for Biochemical Assays

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

Production and bioprocessing of Taxol from Aspergillus niger, an endophyte of Encephalartos whitelockii, with a plausible biosynthetic stability: antiproliferative activity and cell cycle analysis

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories
The biosynthetic potency of Taxol by fungi raises their prospective to be a platform for commercial production of Taxol, nevertheless, the attenuation of its productivity with the fungal storage, is the challenge.

Protocol for Reconstituting Adaptor‐Mediated Activation of Full‐Length Kinesin‐1

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kinesin‐1 is a member of the kinesin superfamily that plays an essential role in intracellular cargo transport. In the absence of cargo, Kinesin‐1 exhibits low motor activity due to autoinhibition. Multiple studies have demonstrated that adaptor proteins, which link cargos to Kinesin‐1, can activate Kinesin‐1 by releasing the autoinhibition ...

Taxol Reduces Cytosolic E-Cadherin and Beta-Catenin Levels in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cell Line Tw-039: Cross-Talk between the Microtubule- and Actin-Based Cytoskeletons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Taxol affects microtubule dynamics by promoting microtubule assembly. To obtain a better insight into possible cross- talk between the microtubule- and actin-based cytoskeletons, we studied the short-term effects of Taxol treatment on the expression of ...

Taxol crystals can masquerade as stabilized microtubules. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Taxol is a potent anti-mitotic drug used in chemotherapy, angioplastic stents, and cell biology research. By binding and stabilizing microtubules, Taxol inhibits their dynamics, crucial for cell division, motility, and survival.

Visualizing Specific Tubulin Isotypes and Pathogenic Variants in Cellular Microtubule Arrays

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eukaryotic cells depend on dynamic microtubule arrays to execute a wide range of functions vital for life. These microtubule filaments are formed through the polymerization of α/β‐tubulin proteins, which can be generated from numerous tubulin genes, or isotypes.

An investigation of the role of the ErbB receptor family in chemotherapeutic drug resistance and invasion in human breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The purpose of the work described in this thesis was to investigate the effects of upregulation of c-erbB-2 by cDNA transfection and the downregulation by ribozyme transfection on chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity, in vitro invasion, and expression of a ...

Performance of Taxol score in validation datasets. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The performance of Taxol score was validated in the high Taxol score group (A) and low Taxol score group (B) in the GSE63885 cohort and GSE9891 cohort (C-D, high and low Taxol score group).

Kanglaite sensitizes colorectal cancer cells to Taxol via NF-κΒ inhibition and connexin 43 upregulation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Taxol, a first-line anti-tumour drug, has low effectiveness against colorectal cancer. Combination with other agents is an effective strategy to enhance Taxol cytotoxicity.

Interfering cellular lactate homeostasis overcomes Taxol resistance of breast cancer cells through the microRNA-124-mediated lactate transporter (MCT1) inhibition

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2019
Background Breast cancer, the most common invasive cancer of women, is a malignant neoplasm and the second main cause of cancer death. Resistance to paclitaxel (Taxol), one of the frequently used chemotherapy agents for breast cancer, presents a major ...
