Tubulin dynamics in cultured mammalian cells
Bovine neurotubulin has been labeled with dichlorotriazinyl-aminofluorescein (DTAF-tubulin) and microinjected into cultured mammalian cells strains PTK1 and BSC. The fibrous, fluorescence patterns that developed in the microinjected cells were almost indistinguishable from the pattern of microtubules seen in the same cells by indirect immunofluorescence. DTAF-tubulin participated in the formati...
متن کاملTubulin assembly sites and the organization of cytoplasmic microtubules in cultured mammalian cells
The number, distribution, and nucleating capacity of microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) has been investigated in a variety of cultured mammalian cells. Most interphase cells contain a single MTOC that is localized at the centrosome region and corresponds to the centriole and pericentriolar material. MTOCs, like centrioles, become duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle and are equat...
متن کاملDynamics of tubulin and calmodulin in the mammalian mitotic spindle.
Microtubules (MTs) have attracted interest and experimental attention in part because they are involved in numerous cellular processes and in part because they are intriguingly dynamic. Many studies with light and electron microscopes have shown that MTs can change their location and extent of polymerization, depending on the physiological state of the cell. Efforts to study this dynamism and t...
متن کاملMutation systems in cultured mammalian cells.
Experimental studies on the complex process of mutagenesis are conducted in the belief that they will increase our understanding of the effects of environmental agents on human populations. Cultured mammalian cells offer distinct advantages over other biological systems for studying this problem. Mutagenesis in cultured mammalian cells is unquestionably more relevant to man than are bacterial, ...
متن کاملCalmodulin-microtubule association in cultured mammalian cells
A Triton X-100-lysed cell system has been used to identify calmodulin on the cytoskeleton of 3T3 and transformed SV3T3 cells. By indirect immunofluorescence, calmodulin was found to be associated with both the cytoplasmic microtubule complex and the centrosomes. A number of cytoplasmic microtubules more resistant to disassembly upon either cold (0-4 degrees C) or hypotonic treatment, as well as...
