Unique post-translational modifications in specialized microtubule architecture.
Microtubules (MTs) play specialized roles in a wide variety of cellular events, e.g. molecular transport, cell motility, and cell division. Specialized MT architectures, such as bundles, axonemes, and centrioles, underlie the function. The specialized function and highly organized structure depend on interactions with MT-binding proteins. MT-associated proteins (e.g. MAP1, MAP2, and tau), molec...
متن کاملTubulin Post-Translational Modifications and Microtubule Dynamics
Microtubules are hollow tube-like polymeric structures composed of α,β-tubulin heterodimers. They play an important role in numerous cellular processes, including intracellular transport, cell motility and segregation of the chromosomes during cell division. Moreover, microtubule doublets or triplets form a scaffold of a cilium, centriole and basal body, respectively. To perform such diverse fu...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications of tubulin
Microtubules are the largest filamentous components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. In spite of their extraordinary level of structural conservation, microtubules fulfill a vast range of different functions in cells. How this functional diversity is achieved remains an open question; however, recent advances point towards post-translational modifications (PTMs) of tubulin as a potent mechanism ...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications in nitrile hydratase family
Fe-type nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus sp. N771 has a novel non-heme iron active center with two post-translationally modified cysteine residues, cysteine-sulfenic and -sulfinic acids. The modified residues are involved in the sequence motif, Cys-Xxx-Leu-Cys-Ser-Cys (Xxx = Ser(Fetype)/Thr(Co-type)), which is conserved among all known NHases as well as in the homologous enzyme, thioc...
متن کاملTranslation and post-translational modifications in Plasmodium
Malaria is one of the most important human parasitic diseases in the world, affecting about 400 million people and killing about 1 million children every year. Our relationship with the malarial parasite has been a long one on the evolutionary scale, and the methods adopted by the parasite to thrive and colonize our bodies are truly fascinating. In order to control the disease, it is of fundame...
