Processes induced by tau expression in Sf9 cells have an axon-like microtubule organization
We have indirectly analyzed the role of tau in generating the highly organized microtubule (MT) array of the axon. Axons contain MT arrays of uniform polarity orientation, plus ends distal to the cell body (Heidemann, S. R., J. M. Landers, and M. A. Hamborg. 1981. J. Cell Biol. 91:661-673). Surprisingly, these MTs do not radiate from a single discrete nucleating structure in the cell body (Shar...
متن کاملProcess formation in Sf9 cells induced by the expression of a microtubule-associated protein 2C-like construct.
To understand the roles of various microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) in the development of axons and dendrites, we have expressed individual neuronal MAPs in normally rounded Sf9 host cells. We previously reported that expression of tau protein in these cells results in the elaboration of long processes containing dense bundles of microtubules (MTs). These bundles generally terminate in th...
متن کاملExpression of a minus-end-directed motor protein induces Sf9 cells to form axon-like processes with uniform microtubule polarity orientation.
Neurons extend two types of processes with distinct morphologies and patterns of microtubule polarity orientation. Axons are thin cylindrical processes containing microtubules that are uniformly oriented with their plus-ends-distal to the cell body while dendrites are stout tapering processes that contain nonuniformly oriented microtubules. We have proposed that these distinct microtubule patte...
متن کاملExpression of a kinesin-related motor protein induces Sf9 cells to form dendrite-like processes with nonuniform microtubule polarity orientation.
The microtubules (MTs) within neuronal processes are highly organized with regard to their polarity and yet are not attached to any detectable nucleating structure. Axonal MTs are uniformly oriented with their plus ends distal to the cell body, whereas dendritic MTs are of both orientations. Here, we sought to test the capacity of motor-driven MT transport to organize distinct MT patterns durin...
متن کاملMicrotubule Organization in the Axon: TRIM46 Determines the Orientation
The microtubule cytoskeleton is a major determinant in neuronal polarity. In this issue of Neuron, van Beuningen et al. (2015) now report that TRIM46 forms parallel microtubule bundles in the proximal axon and reveal that it is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity.
