Reduced tubulin tyrosination as an early marker of mercury toxicity in differentiating N2a cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The aims of this work were to compare the effects of methyl mercury chloride and Thimerosal on neurite/process outgrowth and microtubule proteins in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma and rat C6 glioma cells.

Vimentin Plays a Crucial Role in Fibroblast Ageing by Regulating Biophysical Properties and Cell Migration

open access: yesCells, 2019
Ageing is the result of changes in biochemical and biophysical processes at the cellular level that lead to progressive organ decline. Here we focus on the biophysical changes that impair cellular function of human dermal fibroblasts using donors of ...

Design, Synthesis and In Vitro Biological Activity of Novel C-7 Methylene Congeners of Furanoallocolchicinoids

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2023
A series of novel heterocyclic colchicine derivatives bearing a C-7 methylene fragment were synthesized via Wittig, Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons and Nenajdenko–Shastin olefination approaches.

Surface topography of microtubule walls decorated with monomeric and dimeric kinesin constructs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The surface topography of opened-up microtubule walls (sheets) decorated with monomeric and dimeric kinesin motor domains was investigated by freeze-drying and unidirectional metal shadowing.

Structural state recognition facilitates tip tracking of EB1 at growing microtubule ends

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The microtubule binding protein EB1 specifically targets the growing ends of microtubules in cells, where EB1 facilitates the interactions of cellular proteins with microtubule plus-ends.

Role of Nuclear Lamin A/C in the Regulation of Nav1.5 Channel and Microtubules: Lesson From the Pathogenic Lamin A/C Variant Q517X

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In this work, we studied an lmna nonsense mutation encoding for the C-terminally truncated Lamin A/C (LMNA) variant Q517X, which was described in patients affected by a severe arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with history of sudden death. We found that LMNA

Structural intermediates in the assembly of taxoid-induced microtubules and GDP-tubulin double rings: time-resolved X-ray scattering

open access: yes, 1996
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.

Targeting the Achilles Heel of FtsZ: The Interdomain Cleft

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Widespread antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens is a serious threat to public health. Thus, identification of new targets and development of new antibacterial agents are urgently needed. Although cell division is a major driver of bacterial

Turgor Pressure and Possible Constriction Mechanisms in Bacterial Division

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Bacterial cytokinesis begins with the assembly of FtsZ into a Z ring at the center of the cell. The Z-ring constriction in Gram-negative bacteria may occur in an environment where the periplasm and the cytoplasm are isoosmotic, but in Gram-positive ...

Protection of Grouper Against Cryptocaryon irritans by Immunization With Tetrahymena thermophila and Protective Cross-Reactive Antigen Identification

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Vaccination is an effective method to prevent Cryptocaryon irritans infection. Although some vaccines have been developed, large-scale production of these vaccines is costly.
