Tubulin is one of several members of a small family of globular proteins. The most common members of the tubulin family are alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin, the proteins that make up microtubules. Microtubules are obligate proteinaceous elements found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. The availability of monoclonal antibodies to alpha-tubulin uses as a common housekeeping protein and serves as a specific and useful tool in studying proper interpretation of western blots.

Target Information

Alpha Tubulin is a part of a heterodimer consisting of alpha and beta tubulin subunits. The alpha and beta tubulins, which are each about 55 kDa MW, are homologous but not identical. Alpha-beta tubulin heterodimer is the basic building block of microtubules, and this intracellular cylindrical filamentous structure is present in almost eukaryotic cells. Microtubules serve as structural supports and lines of transport within the cell, as well as serving a key role in mitosis. Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulins. The alpha and beta tubulins represent the major components of microtubules, while gamma tubulin plays a critical role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. There are multiple alpha and beta tubulin genes, which are highly conserved among species. The gene that encodes alpha tubulin is highly similar to the mouse and rat Tuba1 gene. Northern blotting studies have shown that the gene expression is predominantly found in morphologically differentiated neurologic cells.

Jiang Y,Liu S,Shen S,Guo H,Huang H,Wei W

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a member of the Picornavirus family and a causative agent of respiratory diseases in children. The incidence of EV-D68 infection has increased worldwide in recent years. Thus far, there are no approved antiviral agents or vaccines for EV-D68. Here, we show that methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD), a common drug that disrupts lipid rafts, specifically inhibits EV-D68 infection without producing significant cytotoxicity at virucidal concentrations.

Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage kidney failure. Reduced angiopoietin-TIE2 receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in the vasculature leads to increased vascular permeability inflammation and endothelial cell loss and is associated with the development of diabetic complications. Here we identified a mechanism to explain how TIE2 signaling is attenuated in diabetic animals. Expression of vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase VE-PTP (also known as PTPRB) which dephosphor

BAP1 complex promotes transcription by opposing PRC1-mediated H2A ubiquitylation.

Nature communications

Campagne A,Lee MK,Zielinski D,Michaud A,Le Corre S,Dingli F,Chen H,Shahidian LZ,Vassilev I,Servant N,Loew D,Pasmant E,Postel-Vinay S,Wassef M,Margueron R

In Drosophila a complex consisting of Calypso and ASX catalyzes H2A deubiquitination and has been reported to act as part of the Polycomb machinery in transcriptional silencing. The mammalian homologs of these proteins (BAP1 and ASXL1/2/3 respectively) are frequently mutated in various cancer types yet their precise functions remain unclear. Using an integrative approach based on isogenic cell lines generated with CRISPR/Cas9 we uncover an unanticipated role for BAP1 in gene activation. This fun

Temporal Control of the TGF-β Signaling Network by Mouse ESC MicroRNA Targets of Different Affinities.

Cell reports

Kelly TJ,Brümmer A,Hooshdaran N,Tariveranmoshabad M,Zamudio JR

Although microRNAs (miRNAs) function in the control of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency, a systems-level understanding is still being developed. Through the analysis of progressive Argonaute (Ago)-miRNA depletion and rescue, including stable Ago knockout mouse ESCs, we uncover transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) pathway activation as a direct and early response to ESC miRNA reduction. Mechanistically, we link the derepression of weaker miRNA targets, including TGF-β receptor

A second open reading frame in human enterovirus determines viral replication in intestinal epithelial cells.

Nature communications

Guo H,Li Y,Liu G,Jiang Y,Shen S,Bi R,Huang H,Cheng T,Wang C,Wei W

Human enteroviruses (HEVs) of the family Picornaviridae, which comprises non-enveloped RNA viruses, are ubiquitous worldwide. The majority of EV proteins are derived from viral polyproteins encoded by a single open reading frame (ORF). Here, we characterize a second ORF in HEVs that is crucial for viral intestinal infection. Disruption of ORF2p expression decreases the replication capacity of EV-A71 in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Ectopic expression of ORF2p proteins derived from di

Noncanonical function of DGCR8 controls mESC exit from pluripotency.

The Journal of cell biology

Cirera-Salinas D,Yu J,Bodak M,Ngondo RP,Herbert KM,Ciaudo C

Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) deficient for DGCR8 a key component of the microprocessor complex present strong differentiation defects. However the exact reasons impairing their commitment remain elusive. The analysis of newly generated mutant mESCs revealed that DGCR8 is essential for the exit from the pluripotency state. To dissociate canonical versus noncanonical functions of DGCR8 we complemented the mutant mESCs with a phosphomutant DGCR8 which restored microRNA levels but did not resc

UHRF2 regulates local 5-methylcytosine and suppresses spontaneous seizures.

Epigenetics

Liu Y,Zhang B,Meng X,Korn MJ,Parent JM,Lu LY,Yu X

The 5-methylcytosine (5mC) modification regulates multiple cellular processes and is faithfully maintained following DNA replication. In addition to DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) family proteins, ubiquitin-like PHD and ring finger domain-containing protein 1 (UHRF1) plays an important role in the maintenance of 5mC levels. Loss of UHRF1 abolishes 5mC in cells and leads to embryonic lethality in mice. Interestingly, UHRF1 has a paralog, UHRF2, that has similar sequence and domain architecture, but

Transcription Factor EB Is Selectively Reduced in the Nuclear Fractions of Alzheimer's and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Brains.

Neuroscience journal

Wang H,Wang R,Xu S,Lakshmana MK

Multiple studies suggest that autophagy is strongly dysregulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as evidenced by accumulation of numerous autophagosomes, lysosomes with discontinuous membranes, and aggregated proteins in the patients' brains. Transcription factor EB (TFEB) was recently discovered to be a master regulator of lysosome biogenesis and autophagy. To examine whether aberrant autophagy in AD and ALS is due to alterations in TFEB expression, we syste

Zinc Finger Protein 618 Regulates the Function of UHRF2 (Ubiquitin-like with PHD and Ring Finger Domains 2) as a Specific 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Reader.

The Journal of biological chemistry

Liu Y,Zhang B,Kuang H,Korakavi G,Lu LY,Yu X

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an epigenetic modification that is generated by ten-eleven translocation (TET) protein-mediated oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). 5hmC is associated with transcription regulation and is decreased in many cancers including melanoma. Accumulating evidence has suggested that 5hmC is functionally distinct from 5mC. Ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 2 (UHRF2) is the first known specific 5hmC reader that has higher affinity to 5hmC than 5mC, suggestin

Human ES cells (hESC) exposed to bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) in the absence of FGF2 have become widely used for studying trophoblast development, but the soundness of this model has been challenged by others, who concluded that differentiation was primarily toward mesoderm rather than trophoblast. Here we confirm that hESC grown under the standard conditions on a medium conditioned by mouse embryonic fibroblasts in the presence of BMP4 and absence of FGF2 on a Matrigel substratum rapidly c

Antiviral research

Chen HW,Cheng JX,Liu MT,King K,Peng JY,Zhang XQ,Wang CH,Shresta S,Schooley RT,Liu YT

An influenza pandemic poses a serious threat to humans and animals. Conventional treatments against influenza include two classes of pathogen-targeting antivirals: M2 ion channel blockers (such as amantadine) and neuraminidase inhibitors (such as oseltamivir). Examination of the mechanism of influenza viral infection has shown that endosomal acidification plays a major role in facilitating the fusion between viral and endosomal membranes. This pathway has led to investigations on vacuolar ATPase

We previously reported that RanBP9 binds low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), amyloid precursor protein (APP), and BACE1 and robustly increased Aβ generation in a variety of cell lines and primary neuronal cultures. To confirm the physiological/ pathological significance of this phenotype in vivo, we successfully generated transgenic mice overexpressing RanBP9 as well as RanBP9-null mice. Here we show that RanBP9 overexpression resulted in >2-fold increase in Aβ40
