Abstract:
We tested the hypothesis that kinesin moves parallel to the microtubule's protofilament axis. We polymerized microtubules with protofilaments that ran either parallel to the microtubule's long axis or that ran along shallow helical paths around the cylindrical surface of the microtubule. When gliding across a kinesin-coated surface, the former microtubules did not rotate. The latter microtubules, those with supertwisted protofilaments, did rotate; the pitch and handedness of the rotation accorded with the supertwist measured by electron cryo-microscopy. The results show that kinesin follows a

Abstract:
The microtubular cytoskeleton exhibits a dramatic reorganization, progressing from interphase radial arrays to a mitotic spindle at the G2/M transition. Although this reorganization has been suspected to be caused by maturation promoting factor (MPF: p34cdc2/cyclin B complex), little is known about how p34cdc2 kinase controls microtubule networks. We provide evidence of the direct association of the p34cdc2/cyclin B complex with microtubules in starfish oocytes. Anti-cyclin B staining of detergent-treated oocytes, isolated asters and meiotic spindles revealed fluorescence associated with micro

Abstract:
Root hairs have sometimes provided contradictory evidence for microtubule/microfibril parallelism. This tissue was re-examined using optimized conditions for the fixation, before immunofluorescence, of root hairs. In phosphate buffer, microtubules did not enter the apical tip of radish root hairs and were clearly fragmented. However, in an osmotically adjusted microtubule-stabilizing buffer, microtubules were observed within the apical dome and appeared unfragmented. Microtubules are not, therefore, absent from the region where new cell wall is presumed to be generated during tip growth. A spi

Microtubules are cytoskeletal elements known as drivers of directed cell migration, vesicle and organelle trafficking, and mitosis. In this review, we discuss new research in the lens that has shed light into further roles for stable microtubules in the process of development and morphogenesis. In the lens, as well as other systems, distinct roles for characteristically dynamic microtubules and stabilized populations are coming to light. Understanding the mechanisms of microtubule stabilization and the associated microtubule post-translational modifications is an evolving field of study. Appro

Microtubules are long, proteinaceous filaments that perform structural functions in eukaryotic cells by defining cellular shape and serving as tracks for intracellular motor proteins. We report the first accurate measurements of the flexural rigidity of microtubules. By analyzing the thermally driven fluctuations in their shape, we estimated the mean flexural rigidity of taxol-stabilized microtubules to be 2.2 x 10(-23) Nm2 (with 6.4% uncertainty) for seven unlabeled microtubules and 2.1 x 10(-23) Nm2 (with 4.7% uncertainty) for eight rhodamine-labeled microtubules.

Many cell types contain a subset of long-lived, ‘stable’ microtubules that differ from dynamic microtubules in that they are enriched in post-translationally detyrosinated tubulin (Glu-tubulin).

We used detergent-extracted cell models to investigate the nature of Glu microtubule stability.

Near the embryo, where nuclei were densely packed, bundles of microtubules radiated from nuclei.

AbstractMicrotubules play an essential role in many cellular functions, in part by serving as tracks for intracellular transport by kinesin and dynein. The ability of microtubules to fulfill this role fundamentally depends on the fact that they are polar, with motors moving along them toward either their plus or minus end. Given that the microtubule cytoskeleton adopts a variety of specialized architectures in different cell types, it is important to map precisely how microtubules are oriented and organized in these cells.

Abstract:
Kinesin is a processive molecular motor found in various cells including neurons, that transports membrane-bound vesicles and organelles along the microtubule. Kinesin typically consists of three distinct domains: two large globular heads that attach to the microtubule, a central coiled region, and a light-chain that attaches to the cellular cargo. The metabolic energy that drives kinesins is provided in the form of ATP. The energy released by ATP hydrolysis is converted into direct movement after kinesin binds strongly to the microtubule. Two mechanisms were proposed to explain the movement o

Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs in many blunt, ballistic and blast impact events. During trauma axons in the white matter are especially vulnerable to injury due to the rapid mechanical loading of brain. The axonal pathology leads to cytoskeletal failure and disconnection. The microtubules are one of major structural components of the cytoskeleton filamentous network. By bridging the macroscopic forces acting on the whole brain with the cellular and subcellular failure, the macro-micro computational models in both time and space can help us better understand the complex biophysics and eluc

Abstract:
The cytoskeleton, including actin filaments and microtubules, provides chondrocytes with structure, cytoplasmic organization, and intracellular transport. The cytoskeleton is known to be involved in cellular responses to physiologic mechanical and osmotic loading signals, including morphological changes and mechanostransduction [1, 2]. Here, we examine microtubule (MT) involvement in volume response of chondrocytes to osmotic loading, as well as organization of stable MT with hypoosmotic loading. We also explore the hypothesis that chondrocytes from different zones of cartilage possess cytoske

Abstract:
Cilia are thin subcellular organelles that bend actively to propel fluid. The ciliary cytoskeleton (the axoneme) consists of nine outer microtubule doublets surrounding a central pair of singlet microtubules. Large bending deformations of the axoneme involve relative sliding of the outer doublets, driven by the motor protein dynein. Ciliary structure and function have been studied extensively, but details of the mechanics and coordination of the axoneme remain unclear. In particular, dynein activity must be switched on and off at specific times and locations to produce an oscillatory, propulsi
