چکیده
ently of centrosomal microtubule nucleation. Figure 3‐2: In young neurons, microtubules grow from a focal point, while in mature neurons EB3 comets emerge all over the cell body.. Figure 3‐3: The centrosome loses its function as a microtubule organizing center (MTOC) during Figure 3‐4: The pericentriolar material (PCM) proteins γ‐tubulin and pericentrin are depleted from the neuronal centrosome during development, but the centriolar protein centrin remains.

متن کاملNon-centrosomal nucleation mediated by augmin organizes microtubules in post-mitotic neurons and controls axonal microtubule polarity
Neurons display a highly polarized microtubule network that mediates trafficking throughout the extensive cytoplasm and is crucial for neuronal differentiation and function. In newborn migrating neurons, the microtubule network is organized by the centrosome. During neuron maturation, however, the centrosome gradually loses this activity, and how microtubules are organized in more mature neuron...
متن کاملAxon injury and stress trigger a microtubule-based neuroprotective pathway.
Axon injury elicits profound cellular changes, including axon regeneration. However, the full range of neuronal injury responses remains to be elucidated. Surprisingly, after axons of Drosophila dendritic arborization neurons were severed, dendrites were more resistant to injury-induced degeneration. Concomitant with stabilization, microtubule dynamics in dendrites increased. Moreover, dendrite...
متن کاملSuppression of microtubule assembly kinetics by the mitotic protein TPX2.
TPX2 is a widely conserved microtubule-associated protein that is required for mitotic spindle formation and function. Previous studies have demonstrated that TPX2 is required for the nucleation of microtubules around chromosomes; however, the molecular mechanism by which TPX2 promotes microtubule nucleation remains a mystery. In this study, we found that TPX2 acts to suppress tubulin subunit o...
متن کاملDrosophila Growth Cones Advance by Forward Translocation of the Neuronal Cytoskeletal Meshwork In Vivo
In vitro studies conducted in Aplysia and chick sensory neurons indicate that in addition to microtubule assembly, long microtubules in the C-domain of the growth cone move forward as a coherent bundle during axonal elongation. Nonetheless, whether this mode of microtubule translocation contributes to growth cone motility in vivo is unknown. To address this question, we turned to the model syst...
