γ-Tubulin stands up to be counted

Not everything that counts can be counted; not everything that can be counted counts.

Quick Guide: γ-Tubulin

What is it? γ-Tubulin is a member of the tubulin superfamily and is required for nucleating the polymerization of microtubules in vivo. Microtubules are dynamic cytoskeletal polymers that assemble from two other members of the tubulin superfamily, α-tubulin and βtubulin. Microtubules make up the mitotic and meiotic spindles, and are important for establishing cell polarity and vesicle trafficki...

Kinesin-14 Pkl1 targets γ-tubulin for release from the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC) is a key part of microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) that control microtubule polarity, organization and dynamics in eukaryotes. Understanding regulatory mechanisms of γ-TuRC function is of fundamental importance, as this complex is central to many cellular processes, including chromosome segregation, fertility, neural development, T-cell cytotoxicity and ...

Consensus Builder: A Place to Speak, Listen, and Be Counted

This paper presents a vision for an internet application that will support constructive political discourse. Consensus Builder will invite people to speak their beliefs and engage in interpretive processes that result in internal representation of statements as ontological models. Analyses of similarities and differences between statements will support listening and exchange of ideas. Semantica...
