Acetylated tubulin is essential for touch sensation in mice

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond, Antonino Asaro

At its most fundamental level, touch sensation requires the translation of mechanical energy into mechanosensitive ion channel opening, thereby generating electro-chemical signals. Our understanding of this process, especially how the cytoskeleton influenc ...

Microtubule-Binding R3 Fragment from Tau Self-Assembles into Giant Multistranded Amyloid Ribbons

Hilal Lashuel, Raffaele Mezzenga, Nadine Aït Bouziad

Tau protein and its fragments self-assemble into amyloid fibrils in the presence of polyanions, such as heparin. By combining microscopy, scattering, and spectroscopy techniques, we studied the aggregation of the 26-mer Tau-derived peptide alone, Tau306-32 ...

Distinct mechanisms eliminate mother and daughter centrioles in meiosis of starfish oocytes

Pierre Gönczy

Centriole elimination is an essential process that occurs in female meiosis of metazoa to reset centriole number in the zygote at fertilization. How centrioles are eliminated remains poorly understood. Here we visualize the entire elimination process live ...

A benzamide-dependent ftsZ mutant reveals residues crucial for Z-ring assembly

David William Adams

In almost all bacteria, cell division is co-ordinated by the essential tubulin homologue FtsZ and represents an attractive but as yet unexploited target for new antibiotics. The benzamides, e.g. PC190723, are potent FtsZ inhibitors that have the potential ...

A Spatiotemporal Characterization Method for the Dynamic Cytoskeleton

The significant gap between quantitative and qualitative understanding of cytoskeletal function is a pressing problem; microscopy and labeling techniques have improved qualitative investigations of localized cytoskeleton behavior, whereas quantitative anal ...

How many lives does CLIMP-63 have?

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Patrick Alain Sandoz

In 1995, in the Biochemical Society Transactions, Mundy published the first review on CLIMP-63 (cytoskeletonlinking membrane protein 63) or CKPA4 (cytoskeleton-associated protein 4), initially just p63 [1]. Here we review the following 20 years of research ...

Correction of a Depth-Dependent Lateral Distortion in 3D Super-Resolution Imaging

Suliana Manley, Seamus John Holden, Kyle Michael Douglass, Lina Carlini

Three-dimensional (3D) localization-based super-resolution microscopy (SR) requires correction of aberrations to accurately represent 3D structure. Here we show how a depth-dependent lateral shift in the apparent position of a fluorescent point source, whi ...

SAS-1 Is a C2 Domain Protein Critical for Centriole Integrity in C. elegans

Graham Knott, Pierre Gönczy, Simon Blanchoud, Lukas von Tobel, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles important for the formation of cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Despite progress in understanding the underlying assembly mechanisms, how centriole integrity is ensured is incompletely understood, including in sp ...

High throughput 3D super-resolution microscopy reveals Caulobacter crescentus in vivo Z-ring organization

Suliana Manley, Seamus John Holden, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Thomas Pengo

We created a high-throughput modality of photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) that enables automated 3D PALM imaging of hundreds of synchronized bacteria during all stages of the cell cycle. We used high-throughput PALM to investigate the nanoscal ...
