Microtubules are highly dynamic structures, which consist of α-and β-tubulin heterodimers,
and are involved in cell movement, intracellular trafficking, and mitosis. In the context of …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a large family of molecular chaperones that are well-known
for their roles in protein maturation, re-folding and degradation. While some Hsps are …

Type-A receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) are ligand-gated
chloride channels that mediate inhibitory neurotransmission. Each subunit of the pentameric …

In the eukaryotic cell an intrinsic mechanism is present providing the ability to defend itself
against external stressors from various sources. This defense mechanism probably evolved …

Heat shock proteins, first observed because they are preferentially synthesized by
organisms exposed to heat or other physiological stress, are also synthesized constitutively …

Taxol, a plant-derived antitumor agent, stabilizes microtubules. Taxol also elicits cell signals
in a manner indistinguishable from bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS-like actions of …

To investigate the effects of heat stress on the plant cytoskeleton, the structure of microtubule
arrays in N. tabacum suspension cells incubated at 38 or 42° C was analysed. Whilst …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are ubiquitous proteins that are induced following exposure to
sublethal heat shock, are highly conserved during evolution, and protect cells from damage …

Tau, a microtubule‐associated protein with multiple phosphorylation sites, forms aggregates
that correlate with neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and several other …

Microtubule-associated protein 1B, MAP1B, is one of the major growth associated and
cytoskeletal proteins in neuronal and glial cells. It is present as a full length protein or may …
