Tubulin glycylation controls primary cilia length
As essential components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, microtubules fulfill a variety of functions that can be temporally and spatially controlled by tubulin posttranslational modifications. Tubulin glycylation has so far been mostly found on motile cilia and flagella, where it is involved in the stabilization of the axoneme. In contrast, barely anything is known about the role of glycylation ...
متن کاملPrimary cilia and renal cysts: does length matter?
It is now nearly 400 years since Antonie van Leeuwenhoek noticed the first motile organisms moving by flagella using the earliest microscopes. He would have been surprised to note the fascination that nephrologists have developed with this tiny but versatile organelle over the past 15 years. Flagella appear to be the evolutionarily conserved precursors of both motile and non-motile (or primary)...
متن کاملThermal fluctuations of grafted microtubules provide evidence of a length-dependent persistence length.
Microtubules are hollow cylindrical structures that constitute one of the three major classes of cytoskeletal filaments. On the mesoscopic length scale of a cell, their material properties are characterized by a single stiffness parameter, the persistence length l(p). Its value, in general, depends on the microscopic interactions between the constituent tubulin dimers and the architecture of th...
متن کاملStudies on length-weight and length-length relationships of a catfish Eutropiichthyes vacha Hamilton (Schilbeidae: Silurifo-
Present study describes the length-weight (LWR) and length-length (LLR) relationships of a freshwater catfish Eutropiichthyes vacha Hamilton from Indus River, Sindh, Pakistan. A total of 281 specimen of E. vacha were collected from fisherman?s catch from February 2005 to January 2006, are used for this study. The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship were calculated as W= aLb are...
متن کاملThe persistence length of adsorbed dendronized polymers.
The persistence length of cationic dendronized polymers adsorbed onto oppositely charged substrates was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quantitative image analysis. One can find that a decrease in the ionic strength leads to an increase of the persistence length, but the nature of the substrate and of the generation of the side dendrons influence the persistence length substantiall...
