Microtubule stability decreases axon elongation but not axoplasm production.
Microtubules are a primary cytoskeletal constituent of axons and growth cones. In addition to serving as a scaffolding for axon assembly, they also provide a means of transport of organelles that are essential for outgrowth and maintenance of synaptic function. Pharmacological manipulations that disrupt net assembly of microtubules also interfere with growth cone advance and axon extension. Les...
متن کاملTubulin but not microtubule
Tubulin but not microtubule he pathogens that cause malaria, cryptosporidiosis, and toxoplasmosis share a baffling common feature: a cone-shaped apical structure called the conoid. Previous research has suggested that the conoid is composed of microtubules and has simultaneously provided evidence that it is not. Now, on page 1039, Hu et al. resolve this longstanding dilemma by demonstrating tha...

conclusions ramadan fasting resulted in weight loss even it was only a temporary effect, as the weight was quickly regained within one month after fasting. the catabolism catabolic state, which is related to protein loss, was not triggered during ramadan fasting. further research is needed to evaluate the effects of weight loss during ramadan fasting in healthy individuals. results by the 28th ...
متن کاملMicrotubule behavior in the growth cones of living neurons during axon elongation
To understand how microtubules are generated in the growth cone, we have imaged fluorescently tagged microtubules in living frog embryonic neurons. The neurons were labeled by injecting rhodamine-labeled tubulin into the fertilized egg and explanting the neurons from the neural tube. Microtubules extend deep into the growth cone periphery and adopt three characteristic distributions: (a) disper...
متن کاملFlagellar microtubule dynamics in Chlamydomonas: cytochalasin D induces periods of microtubule shortening and elongation; and colchicine induces disassembly of the distal, but not proximal, half of the flagellum
To study the mechanisms responsible for the regulation of flagellar length, we examined the effects of colchicine and Cytochalasin D (CD) on the growth and maintenance of Chlamydomonas flagella on motile wild type cells as well as on pf 18 cells, whose flagella lack the central microtubules and are immobile. CD had no effect on the regeneration of flagella after deflagellation but it induced fu...
