Microtubule Self-Organization via Protein-RNA Network Crosstalk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins are crucial for the regulation of microtubule dynamics. Preitner et al. report that one such protein, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), also binds RNA and identify mRNAs encoding tubulin subunits within the brain APC-RNA interactome, suggesting a new mode of microtubule self-regulation.

Self-organization of an acentrosomal microtubule network at the basal cortex of polarized epithelial cells
Mechanisms underlying the organization of centrosome-derived microtubule arrays are well understood, but less is known about how acentrosomal microtubule networks are formed. The basal cortex of polarized epithelial cells contains a microtubule network of mixed polarity. We examined how this network is organized by imaging microtubule dynamics in acentrosomal basal cytoplasts derived from these...
متن کاملRNA-Seq Bayesian Network Exploration of Immune System in Bovine
Background: The stress is one of main factors effects on production system. Several factors (both genetic and environmental elements) regulate immune response to stress. Objectives: In order to determine the major immune system regulatory genes underlying stress responses, a learning Bayesian network approach for those regulatory genes was applied to RNA-...
متن کاملAPC Is an RNA-Binding Protein, and Its Interactome Provides a Link to Neural Development and Microtubule Assembly
Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a microtubule plus-end scaffolding protein important in biology and disease. APC is implicated in RNA localization, although the mechanisms and functional significance remain unclear. We show APC is an RNA-binding protein and identify an RNA interactome by HITS-CLIP. Targets were highly enriched for APC-related functions, including microtubule organization, c...
متن کاملMicrotubule organization by kinesin motors and microtubule crosslinking protein MAP65.
Microtubules are rigid, proteinaceous filaments required to organize and rearrange the interior of cells. They organize space by two mechanisms, including acting as the tracks for long-distance cargo transporters, such as kinesin-1, and by forming a network that supports the shape of the cell. The microtubule network is composed of microtubules and a bevy of associated proteins and enzymes that...
متن کاملMathematics and biophysics of cortical microtubules in plants
Microtubules confined to the two-dimensional cortex of elongating plant cells must form a parallel yet dispersed array transverse to the elongation axis for proper cell wall expansion. Collisions between microtubules, which migrate via hybrid treadmilling, can result in plus-end entrainment (“zippering”) or catastrophe. Here, I present (1) a cell-scale computational model of cortical microtubul...
