    Tubulin and FtsZ structures: functional and therapeutic implications.

    Desai A, Mitchison TJ.

    Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA. Arshad_Desai@hms.harvard.edu

    The microtubule cytoskeleton has lagged nearly a decade behind the actin cytoskeleton with respect to structural information on the basic polymer subunit. This structural inferiority complex has finally been lifted by two recent papers describing the structures of the alpha beta tubulin dimer and FtsZ, a protein similar to tubulin that is essential for cell division in prokaryotes.

    All links from this record

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Compound (MeSH Keyword)

      PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

    • Gene

      Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

    • HomoloGene

      HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

    • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

      NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • Protein (RefSeq)

      NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Protein (Weighted)

      Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • Protein Clusters

      Clusters of related proteins from the Protein Clusters database that cite the current articles. Sources of references in Protein Clusters include the associated Gene and Conserved Domain records as well as NCBI added citations.

    • Substance (MeSH Keyword)

      PubChem chemical substance (submitted) records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

    • Taxonomy via GenBank

      Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).

    • UniGene

      UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.

    • Domains

      Conserved Domain Database (CDD) records that cite the current articles. Citations are from the CDD source database records (PFAM, SMART).

    • GEO Profiles

      Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Profiles of molecular abundance data. The current articles are references on the Gene record associated with the GEO profile.
