The dual role of fission yeast Tbc1/cofactor C orchestrates microtubule homeostasis in tubulin folding and acts as a GAP for GTPase Alp41/Arl2
Supplying the appropriate amount of correctly folded α/β-tubulin heterodimers is critical for microtubule dynamics. Formation of assembly-competent heterodimers is remarkably elaborate at the molecular level, in which the α- and β-tubulins are separately processed in a chaperone-dependent manner. This sequential step is performed by the tubulin-folding cofactor pathway, comprising a specific se...
متن کاملStudy of β-tubulin gene polymorphisms in Haemonchus contortus isolated from sheep populations in Khouzestan, southwestern Iran
In this report, β-tubulin gene polymorphism was investigated in Haemonchus contortus populations isolated from sheep flocks in different regions of Khouzestan province, southwestern Iran. The samples were chosen on the basis of regional variation in benzimidazole treatment background of sheep flocks. Our objective was to study the relationship between treatment background andβ -tubulin gene po...
متن کاملMultivalent Microtubule Recognition by Tubulin Tyrosine Ligase-like Family Glutamylases
Glutamylation, the most prevalent tubulin posttranslational modification, marks stable microtubules and regulates recruitment and activity of microtubule- interacting proteins. Nine enzymes of the tubulin tyrosine ligase-like (TTLL) family catalyze glutamylation. TTLL7, the most abundant neuronal glutamylase, adds glutamates preferentially to the β-tubulin tail. Coupled with ensemble and single...
متن کاملHematologic β-tubulin VI isoform exhibits genetic variability that influences paclitaxel toxicity.
Cellular microtubules composed of α-β-tubulin heterodimers that are essential for cell shape, division, and intracellular transport are valid targets for anticancer therapy. However, not all the conserved but differentially expressed members of the β-tubulin gene superfamily have been investigated for their role in these settings. In this study, we examined roles for the hematologic isoform β-t...
متن کاملAlterations of β-tubulin isotypes in breast cancer cells resistant to docetaxel
Docetaxel is one of the most active drugs used to treat breast cancer. The cellular target of docetaxel is the microtubule, specifically the β-tubulin subunit, that comprises a series of isotypes and that can modulate function. This study has examined the role of alteration in βtubulin isotypes in vitro and has sequenced the β-tubulin gene to determine if there were mutations, both of which may...
