Plus-End-Tracking Proteins and Their Interactions at Microtubule Ends
Microtubules are cytoskeletal elements that are essential for a large number of intracellular processes, including mitosis, cell differentiation and migration, and vesicle transport. In many cells, the microtubule network is organized in a radial manner, with one end of a microtubule (the minus end) embedded near the nucleus and the other end (the plus end) exploring cytoplasmic space, switchin...
متن کاملThe Microtubule Plus End-Tracking Proteins mal3p and tip1p Cooperate for Cell-End Targeting of Interphase Microtubules
BACKGROUND CLIP-170 and EB1 protein family members localize to growing microtubule tips and link spatial information with the control of microtubule dynamics. It is unknown whether these proteins operate independently or whether their actions are coordinated. In fission yeast the CLIP-170 homolog tip1p is required for targeting of microtubules to cell ends, whereas the role of the EB1 homolog m...
متن کاملS. pombe Kinesins-8 Promote Both Nucleation and Catastrophe of Microtubules
The kinesins-8 were originally thought to be microtubule depolymerases, but are now emerging as more versatile catalysts of microtubule dynamics. We show here that S. pombe Klp5-436 and Klp6-440 are non-processive plus-end-directed motors whose in vitro velocities on S. pombe microtubules at 7 and 23 nm s(-1) are too slow to keep pace with the growing tips of dynamic interphase microtubules in ...
متن کاملA Proteome-wide Screen for Mammalian SxIP Motif-Containing Microtubule Plus-End Tracking Proteins
Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) are structurally and functionally diverse factors that accumulate at the growing microtubule plus-ends, connect them to various cellular structures, and control microtubule dynamics [1, 2]. EB1 and its homologs are +TIPs that can autonomously recognize growing microtubule ends and recruit to them a variety of other proteins. Numerous +TIPs bind to ...
متن کاملNew TIPs for successfully growing microtubules
D ynamic microtubules grow and shrink at their plus ends, and the balance between these two processes is regulated by a host of plus end– tracking proteins (+TIPs). van der Vaart et al. (1) and Li et al. (2) describe two new +TIPs that boost microtubule dynamics in mammalian and Drosophila cells. The EB1 family of +TIPs are the master regulators of microtubule plus ends (3). " They can autonomo...
