Combined antitumoral effects of pretubulysin and methotrexate
Pretubulysin (PT), a potent tubulin‐binding antitumoral drug, and the well‐established antimetabolite methotrexate (MTX) were tested separately or in combination (PT+MTX) for antitumoral activity in L1210 leukemia cells or KB cervix carcinoma cells in ...

Interaction of diazonamide A with tubulin
[3H]Diazonamide A ([3H]DZA), prepared from the natural product isolated from Diazona angulata, bound to tubulin in larger aberrant assembly products (>500 kDa by sizing HPLC) but not to the αβ-tubulin heterodimer. The binding reaction was rapid, but stoichiometry was low.

Self-Organized Networks with Long-Range Interactions: Tandem Darwinian Evolution of $α$ and $β$ Tubulin [PDF]
Cytoskeletons are self-organized networks based on polymerized proteins: actin, tubulin, and driven by motor proteins, such as myosin, kinesin and dynein. Their positive Darwinian evolution enables them to approach optimized functionality (self-organized criticality).

β‐Catenin/c‐Myc Axis Modulates Autophagy Response to Different Ammonia Concentrations
Ammonia, detoxified by the liver into urea and glutamine, impacts autophagy differently at varying levels. Low ammonia activates autophagy via c‐Myc and β‐catenin, while high levels suppress it. Using Huh7 cells and Spf‐ash mice, c‐Myc's role in cytoprotective autophagy is revealed, offering insights into hyperammonemia and potential therapeutic ...

Mitogenome and Nuclear-encoded Fungicide-target Genes of Thecaphora frezii - Causal Agent of Peanut Smut [PDF]
Background: Thecaphora frezii Carranza and Lindquist causes smut disease in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resulting in up to 35% yield losses. Fungicides have shown ineffective in controlling the disease; whereas research on the molecular basis of that ...

Pironetin reacts covalently with cysteine-316 of α-tubulin to destabilize microtubule
Molecules that alter the normal dynamics of microtubule assembly and disassembly include many anticancer drugs in clinical use. So far all such therapeutics target β-tubulin, and structural biology has explained the basis of their action and permitted ...

This study introduces a conductive nerve guidance conduit integrated with wireless electrical stimulation through alternating magnetic fields, which induces currents and creates a supportive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. In vivo studies show that this approach significantly enhanced myelin restoration, gastrocnemius muscle regeneration ...

Supersymmetric methods in the traveling variable: inside neurons and at the brain scale [PDF]
We apply the mathematical technique of factorization of differential operators to two different problems. First we review our results related to the supersymmetry of the Montroll kinks moving onto the microtubule walls as well as mentioning the sine ...

Tubulin transport by IFT is upregulated during ciliary growth by a cilium-autonomous mechanism
In Chlamydomonas cilia, IFT concentrates soluble tubulin by regulating IFT train occupancy and thereby promotes elongation of axonemal microtubules.
