Solitonic Effects of the Local Electromagnetic Field on Neuronal Microtubules [PDF]
, 2007 Current wisdom in classical neuroscience suggests that the only direct action of the electric field in neurons is upon voltage-gated ion channels which open and close their gates during the passage of ions.

Investigation of the marine compound spongistatin 1 links the inhibition of PKCα translocation to nonmitotic effects of tubulin antagonism in angiogenesis [PDF]
, 2009 The aims of the study were to meet the demand of new tubulin antagonists with fewer side effects by characterizing the antiangiogenic properties of the experimental compound spongistatin 1, and to elucidate nonmitotic mechanisms by which tubulin ...

, 2018 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.

Novel Suicide Ligands of Tubulin Arrest Cancer Cells in S-Phase
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 1999 It is presently accepted that the mechanism of action for all anti-tumor tubulin ligands involves the perturbation of microtubule dynamics during the G2/M phase of cell division and subsequent entry into apoptosis 1].

Three-dimensional structure of basal body triplet revealed by electron cryo-tomography. [PDF]
, 2011 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.

Functional significance may underlie the taxonomic utility of single amino acid substitutions in conserved proteins [PDF]
, 2010 We hypothesized that some amino acid substitutions in conserved proteins that are strongly fixed by critical functional roles would show lineage-specific distributions.

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

Abstract P-27: Computational Modeling of Tubulin Protofilament Relaxation during Rapid Freezing [PDF]
International Journal of Biomedicine, 2019 Background: Over the recent years, there has been a burst of ground-breaking studies, based on cryo-EM. They shed light on various intracellular structures, including microtubules (Alushin et al., 2014; Manka and Moores, 2018).

Targeting the Achilles Heel of FtsZ: The Interdomain Cleft
Frontiers 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

Tubulin bond energies and microtubule biomechanics determined from nanoindentation in silico [PDF]
, 2015 Microtubules, the primary components of the chromosome segregation machinery, are stabilized by longitudinal and lateral non-covalent bonds between the tubulin subunits.
