The αβ-tubulin dimer assembles into microtubules, essential polymers in all eukaryotic cells.
Microtubules are highly dynamic, a property that derives from tubulin's GTPase activity. Both …

We present a refined model of the αβ-tubulin dimer to 3.5 Å resolution. An improved
experimental density for the zinc-induced tubulin sheets was obtained by adding 114 …

Growing microtubule ends serve as transient binding platforms for essential proteins that
regulate microtubule dynamics and their interactions with cellular substructures. End …

Candida albicans is a prevalent fungal pathogen amongst the immunocompromised
population, causing both superficial and life-threatening infections. Since C. albicans is …

Cells at the elongation zone expand longitudinally to form the straight central axis of plant
stems, hypocotyls and roots, and transverse cortical microtubule arrays are generally …

Tubulin is a major component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, controlling cell shape, structure
and dynamics, whereas its bacterial homologue FtsZ establishes the cytokinetic ring that …

Microtubules, composed of αβ tubulin dimers, are dynamic polymers of eukaryotic cells.
They play important roles in various cellular functions including mitosis. Microtubules exhibit …

The A549 Taxol-resistant cell lines, A549-T12 and A549-T24, were isolated in our
laboratory, and aredependent on Taxol for normal growth. The microtubules inthese cells …

The eukaryotic cytoskeleton appears to have evolved from ancestral precursors related to
prokaryotic FtsZ and MreB. FtsZ and MreB show 40–50% sequence identity across different …
