Irc15 Is a Microtubule-Associated Protein that Regulates Microtubule Dynamics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Microtubules are polymers composed of alpha-beta tubulin heterodimers that assemble into microtubules. Microtubules are dynamic structures that have periods of both growth and shrinkage by addition and removal of subunits from the polymer. Microtubules stochastically switch between periods of growth and shrinkage, termed dynamic instability. Dynamic instability is coupled to the GTPase activity...
متن کاملEffect of microtubule-associated protein MHP1 on microtubule assembly and cell cycle progression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) promote the assembly of microtubules from purified tubulin in vitro. In order to establish a model system for the investigation of the role of MAPs in microtubule assembly in vivo, we have generated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that permit the modulation of the expression levels of MHP1 (MAP-Homologous Protein 1) and of the alpha and beta-tubulin genes...
متن کاملp27(Kip1) is a microtubule-associated protein that promotes microtubule polymerization during neuron migration.
The migration of cortical interneurons is characterized by extensive morphological changes that result from successive cycles of nucleokinesis and neurite branching. Their molecular bases remain elusive, and the present work describes how p27(Kip1) controls cell-cycle-unrelated signaling pathways to regulate these morphological remodelings. Live imaging reveals that interneurons lacking p27(Kip...
متن کاملEchinoderm 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...
متن کاملDystrophin is a microtubule-associated protein
Cytolinkers are giant proteins that can stabilize cells by linking actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules (MTs) to transmembrane complexes. Dystrophin is functionally similar to cytolinkers, as it links the multiple components of the cellular cytoskeleton to the transmembrane dystroglycan complex. Although no direct link between dystrophin and MTs has been documented, costame...
