Building the Microtubule Cytoskeleton
The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton gives cells their shape, organizes the cellular interior, and segregates chromosomes. These functions rely on the precise arrangement of MTs, which is achieved by the coordinated action ofMT-associated proteins (MAPs). We highlight the first andmost important examples of how different MAP activities are combined in vitro to create an ensemble function that exce...
متن کاملMicrotubule-associated proteins of neurons
Microtubule-associated proteins (MAP) have been identified in cultures of rat sympathetic neurons. In all of the experiments performed here, the cultures consisted of greater than 97% neurons. 26 proteins were identified in these neuronal cultures that (a) remained associated with cytoskeletons prepared with a Triton X-100-containing microtubule-stabilizing buffer, (b) were released from such c...
متن کاملMicrotubules and microtubule-associated proteins.
Microtubule research is becoming increasingly diverse, reflecting the many isoforms and modifications of tubulin and the many proteins with which microtubules interact. Recent advances are particularly visible in four areas: microtubule motor proteins (their structures, stepping modes, and forces); microtubule nucleation (the roles of centrosomes and gamma-tubulin); tubulin folding (mediated by...
متن کاملThe fission yeast microtubule cytoskeleton.
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome sequencing project (http://www. sanger.ac.uk/Projects/S_pombe/) is nearly complete, and this is likely to generate interest in fission yeast as a model system beyond its traditional strongholds in the study of the cell cycle and sexual differentiation. In many fields S. pombe will offer a useful complement to the more widely studied Saccharomyces cerevisiae,...
متن کاملMicrotubule-associated proteins: subunits of the cytomatrix
Microtubule-Associated Proteins of Brain Tissue Microtubules isolated from brain tissue are composed of tubulin and a variety of nontubulin proteins known as micro-tubule-associated proteins (MAPS).' The most prominent MAPs in brain microtubule preparations are known as the high molecular weight MAPs (8, 50) because of their large subunit size (300,000 daltons). Brain microtubules also contain ...
