Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into antiparallel microtubule crosslinking by PRC1, a conserved nonmotor microtubule binding protein.
Radhika Subramanian,Elizabeth M. Wilson-Kubalek,Christopher P. Arthur,Matthew J. Bick,Elizabeth A. Campbell,Seth A. Darst,Ronald A. Milligan,Tarun M. Kapoor +7 more
TL;DR: The data show how MAP65s, by combining structural flexibility and rigidity, tune microtubule associations to establish crosslinks that selectively "mark" antiparallel overlap in dynamic cytoskeletal networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The kinesin-4 protein Kif7 regulates mammalian Hedgehog signalling by organizing the cilium tip compartment
Mu He,Radhika Subramanian,Fiona Bangs,Tatiana Omelchenko,Karel F. Liem,Tarun M. Kapoor,Kathryn V. Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: Purified recombinant Kif7 binds the plus ends of growing microtubules in vitro, where it reduces the rate of microtubule growth and increases the frequency of micro Tubule catastrophe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marking and Measuring Single Microtubules by PRC1 and Kinesin-4
TL;DR: It is shown using in vitro reconstitution assays that PRC1 and kinesin-4, two microtubule-associated proteins required for midzone assembly, can tag microtubULE plus ends, and how biochemically similar microtubules can be differentially marked for selective regulation during the formation of specialized arrays, such as those required for cytokinesis is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building Complexity: Insights into Self-Organized Assembly of Microtubule-Based Architectures
TL;DR: This work discusses several recent efforts toward reconstituting, with purified proteins, the basic structural motifs that recur in diverse cytoskeletal arrays and highlights how they shed light on the self-organized assembly of complex and dynamic cytoskeleton-based cellular structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry of antiparallel microtubule bundles regulates relative sliding and stalling by PRC1 and Kif4A
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how geometrical properties of microtubule arrays, in turn, regulate the output of cross-linking proteins, and find that structural properties of the initial array regulate micro-tubule organization by PRC1-Kif4A.
