The C. elegans tubulin family is composed of nine α-, six β-, and one γ-tubulin. Tubulins are highly conserved, functioning as α-β heterodimers that assemble into microtubules.

Centrioles are microtubule-based cell organelles present in most eukaryotes. They participate in the control of cell division as part of the centrosome, the major microtubule-organizing center of the cell, and are also essential for the formation of primary and motile cilia.

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 ...

LASSBio-1920 was synthesized due to the poor solubility of its natural precursor, combretastatin A4 (CA4). The cytotoxic potential of the compound against human colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116) and non-small cell lung cancer cells (PC-9) was evaluated ...

Three-dimensional structure of basal body triplet revealed by electron cryo-tomography. [PDF]
Basal bodies and centrioles play central roles in microtubule (MT)-organizing centres within many eukaryotes. They share a barrel-shaped cylindrical structure composed of nine MT triplet blades.

Tubulin bond energies and microtubule biomechanics determined from nanoindentation in silico [PDF]
Microtubules, the primary components of the chromosome segregation machinery, are stabilized by longitudinal and lateral non-covalent bonds between the tubulin subunits.

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

Quantification of acetylated tubulin [PDF]
The acetylation/deacetylation of Lys40 of the α‐subunit is an important posttranslational modification undergone by tubulin during the life of a cell. Many previous studies have addressed the physiological role of this acetylation process using various approaches based on changes of acetylated tubulin (AcTubulin) content.
