Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to study the intracellular localization of ubiquitin. Baby hamster kidney cells (BHK cells) and several other cell lines were probed with a well characterized monoclonal antibody to ubiquitin. The antibody stained a complex cellular structure that we identified as the microtubule network. The anti-ubiquitin antibody bound to the microtubule network at all ...
Actin microfilaments and microtubules are both highly dynamic cytoskeleton components implicated in a wide range of intracellular processes as well as cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions. The interactions of actin filaments with the microtubule system play an important role in the assembly and maintenance of 3D cell structure. Here we demonstrate that cytoplasmic actins are differentially...
The polarization of a neuron generally results in the formation of one axon and multiple dendrites, allowing for the establishment of neuronal circuitry. The molecular mechanisms involved in priming one neurite to become the axon, particularly those regulating the microtubule network, remain elusive. Here we report the identification of DOCK7, a member of the DOCK180-related protein superfamily...
The BCH (BNIP2 and Cdc42GAP Homology) domain-containing protein Bmcc1/Prune2 is highly enriched in the brain and is involved in the regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics and cell survival. However, the molecular mechanisms accounting for these functions are poorly defined. Here, we have identified Bmcc1s, a novel isoform of Bmcc1 predominantly expressed in the mouse brain. In primary cultures of ...
Ciliopathies are a large group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders caused by defects in primary cilia. Here we identified mutations in TRAF3IP1 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor Interacting Protein 1) in eight patients from five families with nephronophthisis (NPH) and retinal degeneration, two of the most common manifestations of ciliopathies. TRAF3IP1 encodes IFT54, a subunit ...
A 100 kDa protein was identified by a combination of microtubule affinity chromatography and microtubule co-sedimentation from Xenopus egg extracts. The 100 kDa protein was expressed in Stage VI oocytes and early embryos, and then decreased at tailbud stage. The 100 kDa protein was found in adult organs such as brain and liver. Immunofluorescent microscopy revealed that the 100 kDa protein was ...
SPIRAL2 (SPR2) of Arabidopsis thaliana is a microtubule-associated protein containing multiple HEAT repeats that are found only in the plant lineage. We show that SPR2 and SP2L, their closest Arabidopsis homolog, are expressed in various tissues with partially overlapping patterns, and spr2-sp2l double mutants exhibit enhanced right-handed helical growth. Fusion to green fluorescent protein (GF...
Katanin is a heterodimeric microtubule-severing protein that is conserved among eukaryotes. Loss-of-function mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans katanin catalytic subunit, MEI-1, cause specific defects in female meiotic spindles. To determine the relationship between katanin's microtubule-severing activity and its role in meiotic spindle formation, we analyzed the MEI-1(A338S) mutant. Unlik...
Widely conserved among eukaryotes, the microtubule-associated protein 215 (MAP215) family enhances microtubule dynamic instability. The family member studied most extensively, Xenopus laevis XMAP215, has been reported to enhance both assembly and disassembly parameters, although the mechanism whereby one protein can exert these apparently contradictory effects has not been clarified. Here, we a...
Cell shape changes require the coordination of actin and microtubule cytoskeletons. The molecular mechanisms by which such coordination is achieved remain obscure, particularly in the context of epithelial cells within developing vertebrate embryos. We have identified a novel role for the actin-binding protein Shroom3 as a regulator of the microtubule cytoskeleton during epithelial morphogenesi...
