Microtubule organization: A complex solution
نویسنده
چکیده
Microtubule nucleation within cells is catalyzed by γ-tubulin ring complexes localized at specific microtubule-organizing centers. In this issue, Muroyama et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201601099) reveal heterogeneity in the composition and function of these complexes, with wide implications for how cells organize their microtubule arrays.

P-121: Assessment of Microtubule and Nuclear Status at Different Intervals of Bovine In Vitro Oocyte Maturation
Background: Mammalian oocyte undergoes a series of structural nuclear modulations during maturation in order to obtain full competence to support fertilization and early embryonic development. Microtubules are major cytoskeleton components and have pivotal modulators for chromosomal movement, and it has been shown that partial or immature spindle organization may compromise correct ploidy of th...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of the Dam1 complex–microtubule interaction
Mitosis is a highly regulated process that allows the equal distribution of the genetic material to the daughter cells. Chromosome segregation requires the formation of a bipolar mitotic spindle and assembly of a multi-protein structure termed the kinetochore to mediate attachments between condensed chromosomes and spindle microtubules. In budding yeast, a single microtubule attaches to each ki...
متن کاملP-22: Time Dependent Effect of Post Warming Interval on Microtubule Organization, Meiotic Status, and Parthenogenetic Activation of Vitrified In vitro Matured Sheep Oocytes
Background: It is a common practice to rest vitrified-warmed matured oocytes for 1-3 hours, as a treatment to recover spindle and cytoskeleton, before commencing a further treatment. Vitrified-warmed matured oocytes, however, are very sensitive and may resume meiosis spontaneously during this recommended rest time. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess spindle and chromosome status as ...
متن کاملHierarchical microtubule organization controls axon caliber and transport and determines synaptic structure and stability.
The dimensions of axons and synaptic terminals determine cell-intrinsic properties of neurons; however, the cellular mechanisms selectively controlling establishment and maintenance of neuronal compartments remain poorly understood. Here, we show that two giant Drosophila Ankyrin2 isoforms, Ank2-L and Ank2-XL, and the MAP1B homolog Futsch form a membrane-associated microtubule-organizing comple...
متن کاملDynamic Regulation of Cortical Microtubule Organization through Prefoldin-DELLA Interaction
Plant morphogenesis relies on specific patterns of cell division and expansion. It is well established that cortical microtubules influence the direction of cell expansion, but less is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate microtubule arrangement. Here we show that the phytohormones gibberellins (GAs) regulate microtubule orientation through physical interaction between the nuclear...
