Microtubule organization by kinesin motors and microtubule crosslinking protein MAP65.

Microtubules are rigid, proteinaceous filaments required to organize and rearrange the interior of cells. They organize space by two mechanisms, including acting as the tracks for long-distance cargo transporters, such as kinesin-1, and by forming a network that supports the shape of the cell. The microtubule network is composed of microtubules and a bevy of associated proteins and enzymes that...

Insights into Antiparallel Microtubule Crosslinking by PRC1, a Conserved Nonmotor Microtubule Binding Protein

Formation of microtubule architectures, required for cell shape maintenance in yeast, directional cell expansion in plants and cytokinesis in eukaryotes, depends on antiparallel microtubule crosslinking by the conserved MAP65 protein family. Here, we combine structural and single molecule fluorescence methods to examine how PRC1, the human MAP65, crosslinks antiparallel microtubules. We find th...

Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein -like protein 5 in anterior temporal neocortex of patients with intractable epilepsy

Objective(s):EMAP-like Protein 5 (EML5) is a new echinoderm microtubule-associated protein that is expressed in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of EML5 in the anterior temporal neocortex of patients presenting with intractable epilepsy (IE). Materials and Methods:Western blot assays were performed to determine EML5 expression in 36 su...

Brain microtubule-associated proteins modulate microtubule dynamic instability in vitro. Real-time observations using video microscopy.

We used video assays to study the dynamic instability behavior of individual microtubules assembled in vitro with purified tau, purified MAP2 or a preparation of unfractionated heat-stable MAPs. Axoneme-nucleated microtubules were assembled from pure tubulin at concentrations between 4 and 9 microM in the presence of MAPs, and observed by video-differential interference contrast microscopy. Mic...

Dynamin: a microtubule-associated GTP-binding protein.

We recently identified dynamin as a third nucleotide-sensitive microtubule-associated protein in brain tissue, in addition to kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein. Molecular cloning analysis has revealed that dynamin contains the three consensus elements characteristic of GTP-binding proteins, and biochemical results support a role for GTP in dynamin function. Dynamin is also homologous to the Mx pro...
