Chrysanthemum is an important flower crop grown in different parts of the world. Apparently there are new reports chrysanthemum collar rot and root caused by Phytophthora sp. around In recent years has been increase incidence no information available about this disease India. Therefore aim present study to isolate characterize pathogen causing chrysanthemum. During year 2021, plants exhibiting ...

The early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo contains abundant transcripts for two α-and two β-tubulins raising the question of whether each isoform performs specialized functions or simply contributes to total tubulin levels. Our identification of two recessive, complementing alleles of a β-tubulin that disrupt nuclear-centrosome centration and rotation in the early embryo originally suggested that...

As a major component of the cytoskeleton, microtubules consist of αβ-tubulin heterodimers and have been recognized as attractive targets for cancer chemotherapy. Microtubule-stabilizing agents (MSAs) promote polymerization of tubulin and stabilize the polymer, preventing depolymerization. The molecular mechanisms by which MSAs stabilize microtubules remain elusive. Here we report a 2.05 Å cryst...

lactoferrin (lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. in this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. results showed that the iron-binding site, dna and rna-binding sites, signal pepti...

Ninefold microtubule symmetry of the eukaryotic basal body and motile axoneme has been long established [1–3]. In Drosophila, these organelles contain distinct but similar β-tubulin isoforms [4–10]: basal bodies contain only β1-tubulin, and only β2-tubulin is used for assembly of sperm axonemes. A single α-tubulin functions throughout spermatogenesis [11,12]. Thus, differences in organelle asse...

Autoimmune inner ear disease is described as progressive, bilateral although asymmetric, sensorineural hearing loss and can be improved by immunosuppressive therapy. We showed that the inner ear autoantigen β-tubulin is capable of inducing experimental autoimmune hearing loss (EAHL) in mice. Immunization of BALB/c mice with β-tubulin resulted in hair cell loss and hearing loss, effects that wer...

Microtubules are fundamental to neuronal morphogenesis and function. Mutations in tubulin, the major constituent of microtubules, result in neuronal diseases. Here, we have analysed β-tubulin mutations that cause neuronal diseases and we have identified mutations that strongly inhibit axonal transport of vesicles and mitochondria. These mutations are in the H12 helix of β-tubulin and change the...

Tubulin-binding cofactor C stimulates GTPase activity and contributes to the release of the heterodimeric α/β-tubulin from a super-complex of tubulin monomers and two ancillary cofactors. We have determined the 2.2 Å resolution crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of tubulin-binding cofactor C from Leishmania major based on single wavelength anomalous dispersion measurements targeting a s...

Toxoplasma rhoptry neck protein 4 (TgRON4) is a component of the moving junction macromolecular complex that plays a central role during invasion. TgRON4 is exposed on the cytosolic side of the host cell during invasion, but its molecular interactions remain unclear. Here, we identified host cellular β-tubulin as a binding partner of TgRON4, but not Plasmodium RON4. Coimmunoprecipitation studie...
