COMMENTARY Centrosome-microtubule nucleation
In many cell types the formation of microtubules from tubulin subunits is initiated at defined nucleation sites at the centrosome. These sites contain the conserved γ-tubulin which is in association with additional not very well characterised proteins, identified as components of a γ-tubulin ring complex from Xenopus egg extracts or from suppressor screens in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae....
متن کاملTubulin oligomers and microtubule oscillations. Antagonistic role of microtubule stabilizers and destabilizers.
Several types of non-equilibrium phenomena have been observed in microtubule polymerization, including dynamic instability, assembly overshoot and oscillations. They can be interpreted in terms of interactions between tubulin subunits (= alpha, beta heterodimers), microtubules, and a third state, oligomers, which represent intermediates between microtubule disassembly and the regeneration of as...
متن کاملAugmin Triggers Microtubule-Dependent Microtubule Nucleation in Interphase Plant Cells
Microtubule (MT)-dependent MT nucleation by γ-tubulin is required for interphase plant cells to establish a highly dynamic cortical MT network underneath the plasma membrane, which influences the deposition of cell wall materials and consequently governs patterns of directional cell expansion. Newly formed MTs either assume 40° angles or are parallel to the extant ones. To date, it has been eni...
متن کاملAugmin-dependent microtubule nucleation at microtubule walls in the spindle
The formation of a functional spindle requires microtubule (MT) nucleation from within the spindle, which depends on augmin. How augmin contributes to MT formation and organization is not known because augmin-dependent MTs have never been specifically visualized. In this paper, we identify augmin-dependent MTs and their connections to other MTs by electron tomography and 3D modeling. In metapha...
متن کاملCytoskeleton: Microtubule nucleation takes shape
The centrosomal protein gamma-tubulin is part of a ring-shaped complex that can induce microtubule polymerization. This complex may explain how the centrosome nucleates microtubule polymerization, and thereby organizes the microtubule cytoskeleton.
