The contribution of αβ-tubulin curvature to microtubule dynamics
Microtubules are dynamic polymers of αβ-tubulin that form diverse cellular structures, such as the mitotic spindle for cell division, the backbone of neurons, and axonemes. To control the architecture of microtubule networks, microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and motor proteins regulate microtubule growth, shrinkage, and the transitions between these states. Recent evidence shows that many...
متن کاملCarbonyl Compounds Enols and Enolate Ons. Unsaturated and Polycarbonyl Compounds
ome of the most useful reactions of carbonyl compounds involve carbonhydrogen bonds adjacent to the carbonyl group. Such reactions, which can be regarded as the backbone of much synthetic organic chemistry, usually result in the replacement of the hydrogen by some other atom or group, as in the I I I I sequence H-C-C=O -+ X-C-C=O. The important examples we I I will consider in this chapter are ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of DNA damage initiated by alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds as criteria for genotoxicity and mutagenicity.
alpha, beta-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds are important not only from a theoretical but also a practical standpoint. These ubiquitous compounds can interact with DNA through various mechanisms. The predominant interaction is the formation of cyclic 1,N2-deoxyguanosine adducts; 7,8-cyclic guanine adducts are also found. We have synthesized and characterized the stereoisomers of adducts formed b...
متن کاملMichael-type reaction of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate with alpha,beta- unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of copper powder.
We have reported that the reaction of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (1) with alkenyl iodides in the presence of copper powder gives ethyl alkenyldifluoroacetates. As an extension of this reaction, reaction of 1 with Michael acceptors in the presence of copper powder was examined and found to give 1,4-addition products selectively, unless the acceptor has a group stabilizing a radical intermediate,...
متن کاملInteraction of microtubule depolymerizing agent indanocine with different human αβ tubulin isotypes
Tubulin isotypes are known to regulate the stability and dynamics of microtubules, and are also involved in the development of resistance against microtubule-targeted cancer drugs. Indanocine, a potent microtubule depolymerizing agent, is highly active against multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells without affecting normal cells. It is known to disrupt microtubule dynamics in cells and induce a...
