Interaction of colchicine analogues with purified tubulin.
Binding of two colchicine analogues, desacetamidocolchicine and 2-methoxy-5-(2',3',4'-trimethoxyphenyl) tropone to purified tubulin have been studied. Both analogues bind to tubulin with a significant increase in fluorescence polarization of the drugs in solutions containing tubulin. The Kd for tubulin-drug complexes were found to be 1.25 X 10(-6) M and 1.08 X 10(-6) M for desacetamidocolchicin...
متن کاملA novel acetylation of β-tubulin by San modulates microtubule polymerization via down-regulating tubulin incorporation
Dynamic instability is a critical property of microtubules (MTs). By regulating the rate of tubulin polymerization and depolymerization, cells organize the MT cytoskeleton to accommodate their specific functions. Among many processes, posttranslational modifications of tubulin are implicated in regulating MT functions. Here we report a novel tubulin acetylation catalyzed by acetyltransferase Sa...
متن کامل5368 Tubulin Polymerization in Dimethyl Sulfoxide
The self-assembly of tubulin devoid of microtubuleassociated proteins (MAPs) has been studied using a MES buffer containing dimethyl sulfoxide (MezSO). Between 6% and 12% v/v MeZSO, the tubulin forms polymers which resemble microtubules in their morphology and chemical properties. These MezSO microtubules, like normal microtubules, require GTP for assembly and are sensitive to cold, calcium ion...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Tau-Tubulin Complexes Accelerate Microtubule Polymerization.
Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein with a central role in the pathology of a number of neurodegenerative diseases. Tau normally functions to stabilize neuronal microtubules, although the mechanism underlying this function is not well understood. Of note is that the interaction between tau and soluble tubulin, which has implications both in understanding tau function as well as its role ...
متن کاملTubulin polymerization promoting protein 1 (TPPP1)
The eukaryotic cell cycle relies heavily on the mechanical forces vested by the dynamic rearrangement of the microtubule (MT) network. Tubulin Polymerization promoting Protein 1 (TPPP1) alters MT dynamics by driving MT polymerization as well as stabilization, via increasing MT acetylation. It increases MT rigidity, which results in reduced cell proliferation through downregulation of G1/S-phase...
