Dose-dependent induction by FQI1 of extra α-tubulin- and γ-tubulin-positive structures.
(A) Top: Schematic of treatments of synchronized RPE cells in quiescence by serum starvation. Bottom: Representative images of cells stained for γ-tubulin, α-tubulin and DNA from a total of at least 60 cells over three independent biological experiments ...

Evolutionary Divergence of Enzymatic Mechanisms for Tubulin Detyrosination
Summary: The two related members of the vasohibin family, VASH1 and VASH2, encode human tubulin detyrosinases. Here we demonstrate that, in contrast to VASH1, which requires binding of small vasohibin binding protein (SVBP), VASH2 has autonomous tubulin ...

Structural intermediates in the assembly of taxoid-induced microtubules and GDP-tubulin double rings: time-resolved X-ray scattering [PDF]
We have studied the self-association reactions of purified GDP-liganded tubulin into double rings and taxoid-induced microtubules, employing synchrotron time-resolved x-ray solution scattering.

γ-Tubulin 2 nucleates microtubules and is downregulated in mouse early embryogenesis.
γ-Tubulin is the key protein for microtubule nucleation. Duplication of the γ-tubulin gene occurred several times during evolution, and in mammals γ-tubulin genes encode proteins which share ∼97% sequence identity.

Promiscuous expression of α-tubulin II in maturing male and female Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Antimalarial interventions designed to impact on the transmissible sexual stages of Plasmodium falciparum are evaluated by measurement of peripheral gametocyte carriage in vivo and infectivity to mosquitoes.

An essential role for α4A-tubulin in platelet biogenesis
Alpha4A-tubulin is the predominant α-tubulin isotype in platelets. Mutations in α4A-tubulin cause abnormal platelet biogenesis and marginal band formation in mice and in a patient, establishing an essential role of this tubulin isotype.
