Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

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

Microbial 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.

Taxol crystals can masquerade as stabilized microtubules. [PDF]

PLoS 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.

Salicylic Acid-Responsive Factor TcWRKY33 Positively Regulates Taxol Biosynthesis in Taxus chinensis in Direct and Indirect Ways

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Taxol is a rare secondary metabolite that accumulates considerably in Taxus species under salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate treatment. However, the molecular mechanism of its accumulation remains unclear.

RAB family gene expression in breast cancer cells under influence of paclitaxel [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of paclitaxel on RAB family of genes in primary breast cancer cell lines. The cancer breast cells obtained from 40 women during mastectomy were used to address this issue. The group included patients with

Formation of the postmitotic nuclear envelope from extended ER cisternae precedes nuclear pore assembly [PDF]

, 2011
During mitosis, the nuclear envelope merges with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and nuclear pore complexes are disassembled. In a current model for reassembly after mitosis, the nuclear envelope forms by a reshaping of ER tubules.

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

Cytoskeleton, 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 ...

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

Scientific 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.

Diffusion of myosin V on microtubules [PDF]

, 2011
Organelle transport in eukaryotes employs both microtubule and actin tracks to deliver cargo effectively to their destinations, but the question of how the two systems cooperate is still largely unanswered.

Is Micronucleus Assay a Suitable Biomarker for Evaluating the Cancer Risk in Professionals Exposed to Antineoplastic Drugs? A Systematic Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The widespread use of antineoplastic drugs in cancer treatment has led to significant concerns regarding the potential health risks posed to healthcare professionals involved in the preparation, administration, and handling of these chemical compounds, including genotoxicity.
