Microtubule Disassembly: When a Sleeper Is Activated
Tubulin modifications are emerging as interesting mechanisms to regulate microtubule dynamics. A new study shows that phosphorylation of α-tubulin by the atypical kinase PHS1 leads to rapid disassembly of cortical microtubules in plant cells that are under hyperosmotic stresses.
متن کاملMicrotubule assembly and disassembly at alkaline pH
Although it is now apparent that the intracellular pH may rise considerably above neutrality under physiological conditions, information on the effect of alkaline pH on microtubule assembly and disassembly is still quite fragmentay. We have studied the assembly/disassembly of bovine brain microtubule protein at alkaline pH in vitro. When microtubules are assembled to a new steady state at pH le...
متن کاملATP-dependent regulation of cytoplasmic microtubule disassembly.
Indirect immunofluorescent staining with an antitubulin antibody was used for studying the role of ATP in the regulation of cytoplasmic microtubule disassembly. Depletion of the cellular ATP pool in cultured mouse fibroblasts with various inhibitors of energy metabolism leads to inhibition of the microtubule disassembly induced by colcemid or vinblastine. Glucose added to the inhibitor-containi...
متن کاملBovine brain kinesin is a microtubule-activated ATPase.
Recently, a protein called kinesin was described, which is capable of inducing movement of inert particles along microtubules. To purify this protein from bovine brain, we used the ability of kinesin to bind to taxol-stabilized microtubules in the presence of inorganic tripolyphosphate. The brain kinesin preparation contained one major polypeptide of 135 kDa and four minor polypeptides of 45-70...
متن کاملSleep medicine: no sleeper when it comes to profits.
• Increased consumer focus on sleep by education, regulation and patient selfawareness.7 Sleep medicine is a relatively new field that was officially recognized in the 1960s. Today, an estimated 50 million to 70 million Americans suffer from sleep-related problems.1 The first sleep disorder clinic was opened in 19702 at Stanford University by William Dement, MD. Today more than 2,000 sleep cent...
