End-to-end joining of taxol-stabilized GDP-containing microtubules.
By the use of the drug taxol, microtubules were assembled from tubulin that had GDP at its exchangeable nucleotide binding site. By means of dilution experiments and measurements of exchange of labeled subunits, it was determined that the rate of interchange of subunits between these microtubules and the solution is very slow: the upper limit of the dissociation rate constant was measured to be...
متن کاملTaxol Crystals Can Masquerade as Stabilized Microtubules
Taxol is a potent anti-mitotic drug used in chemotherapy, angioplastic stents, and cell biology research. By binding and stabilizing microtubules, Taxol inhibits their dynamics, crucial for cell division, motility, and survival. The drug has also been reported to induce formation of asters and bundles composed of stabilized microtubules. Surprisingly, at commonly used concentrations, Taxol form...
متن کاملThe spatial organization of non-homologous end joining: From bridging to end joining
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repairs DNA double-strand breaks generated by DNA damage and also those occurring in V(D)J recombination in immunoglobulin and T cell receptor production in the immune system. In NHEJ DNA-PKcs assembles with Ku heterodimer on the DNA ends at double-strand breaks, in order to bring the broken ends together and to assemble other proteins, including DNA ligase IV ...
متن کاملEnd-to-end annealing of microtubules in vitro
Mixtures of pre-formed microtubules, polymerized from chicken erythrocyte and brain tubulin, rapidly anneal end-to-end in vitro in standard microtubule assembly buffer. The erythrocyte tubulin segments in annealed heteropolymers can be distinguished by an immunoelectron microscopic assay that uses an antibody specific for chicken erythrocyte beta-tubulin. An annealing process is consistent with...
متن کاملComparison of nerve repair with end to end, end to side with window and end to side without window methods in lower extremity of rat
Abstract Background : Although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. The importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. In this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. In compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. Overall, the previous studies i...
