Structural insight into the stabilization of microtubules by taxanes

A. E. Prota, D. Lucena-Agell, Y. Ma, J. Estevez-Gallego, S. Li, K. Bargsten, F. Josa-Prado, J. M. Andreu, K.-H. Altmann, N. Gaillard, S. Kamimura, T. Muehlethaler, M. A. Oliva, M. O. Steinmetz, W.-S. Fang, J. F. Diaz

This study determines the crystal structures of taxane-tubulin complexes and uses simulations to elucidate how taxanes stabilize microtubules through conformational changes and ligand binding.

GTP-dependent formation of straight oligomers leads to nucleation of microtubules

R. Ayukawa, S. Iwata, H. Imai, S. Kamimura, M. Hayashi, K. X. Ngo, I. Minoura, S. Uchimura, T. Makino, M. Shirouzu, H. Shigematsu, K. Sekimoto, B. Gigant, E. Muto

The paper shows that GTP-dependent formation of straight oligomers is essential for microtubule nucleation, with a mutation increasing straight oligomers and accelerating nucleation.
