Protein 4.1R regulates interphase microtubule organization at the centrosome.
In human red blood cells, protein 4.1 (4.1R) stabilizes the spectrin-actin network and anchors it to the plasma membrane. To contribute to the characterization of functional roles of 4.1R in nonerythroid cells, we analysed the effect of ectopic expression of 4.1R isoforms on interphase microtubules in fibroblastic cells. We found that specific 4.1R isoforms disturbed the microtubule architectur...
متن کاملSte20-like protein kinase SLK (LOSK) regulates microtubule organization by targeting dynactin to the centrosome
The microtubule- and centrosome-associated Ste20-like kinase (SLK; long Ste20-like kinase [LOSK]) regulates cytoskeleton organization and cell polarization and spreading. Its inhibition causes microtubule disorganization and release of centrosomal dynactin. The major function of dynactin is minus end-directed transport along microtubules in a complex with dynein motor. In addition, dynactin is ...
متن کاملTONNEAU2/FASS regulates the geometry of microtubule nucleation and cortical array organization in interphase Arabidopsis cells.
Organization of microtubules into ordered arrays involves spatial and temporal regulation of microtubule nucleation. Here, we show that acentrosomal microtubule nucleation in plant cells involves a previously unknown regulatory step that determines the geometry of microtubule nucleation. Dynamic imaging of interphase cortical microtubules revealed that the ratio of branching to in-bundle microt...
متن کاملInterphase centrosome organization by the PLP-Cnn scaffold is required for centrosome function
Pericentriolar material (PCM) mediates the microtubule (MT) nucleation and anchoring activity of centrosomes. A scaffold organized by Centrosomin (Cnn) serves to ensure proper PCM architecture and functional changes in centrosome activity with each cell cycle. Here, we investigate the mechanisms that spatially restrict and temporally coordinate centrosome scaffold formation. Focusing on the mit...
متن کاملDynein Intermediate Chain Mediated Dynein–Dynactin Interaction Is Required for Interphase Microtubule Organization and Centrosome Replication and Separation inDictyostelium
Cytoplasmic dynein intermediate chain (IC) mediates dynein-dynactin interaction in vitro (Karki, S., and E.L. Holzbaur. 1995. J. Biol. Chem. 270:28806-28811; Vaughan, K.T., and R.B. Vallee. 1995. J. Cell Biol. 131:1507-1516). To investigate the physiological role of IC and dynein-dynactin interaction, we expressed IC truncations in wild-type Dictyostelium cells. ICDeltaC associated with dynacti...
