STOP Proteins.

STOP-like protein 21 is a novel member of the STOP family, revealing a Golgi localization of STOP proteins.

Neuronal microtubules are stabilized by two calmodulin-regulated microtubule-associated proteins, E-STOP and N-STOP, which when suppressed in mice induce severe synaptic and behavioral deficits. Here we show that mature neurons also contain a 21-kDa STOP-like protein, SL21, which shares calmodulin-binding and microtubule-stabilizing homology domains with STOP proteins. Accordingly, in different...

Stop-like Protein 21: a Novel Member of the Stop Family Revealing a Golgi Localization of Stop Proteins

Neuronal microtubules are stabilized by two calmodulin-regulated microtubule associated proteins, E-STOP and N-STOP, whose suppression in mice induces severe synaptic and behavioral deficits. Here we show that mature neurons also contain a 21 kD STOP-like protein, SL21, which shares calmodulin-binding and microtubulestabilizing homology domains with STOP proteins. Accordingly, in different bioc...

STOP proteins contribute to the maturation of the olfactory system.

Regulation of microtubule dynamics is crucial for axon growth and guidance as well as for the establishment of synaptic connections. STOPs (Stable Tubule Only Polypeptides) are microtubule-associated proteins that regulate microtubule stabilization but are also able to interact with actin or Golgi membranes. Here, we have investigated the involvement of STOPs during the development of the olfac...

Closure duration analysis of incomplete stop consonants due to stop-stop interaction.

An incomplete stop consonant is characterized either by an indistinguishable closure or a missing burst. If an incomplete stop happens due to a stop following another stop [stop-stop interaction (SSI)], its acoustics typically resemble that of a complete stop-one closure followed by a single burst. As a consequence, stop detectors would fail to distinguish an SSI from a complete stop. Analysis ...
