Taccalonolide AJ uncouples tubulin GTP hydrolysis from microtubule depolymerization

Ezekiel C. Thomas, Nicholas E. Vangos, Lauren A McCormick, Lynne Blasius, Kristen J. Verhey, April L. Risinger, Michael A. Cianfrocco

This study shows that taccalonolide AJ stabilizes microtubules through a mechanism distinct from paclitaxel, promoting a compacted, post-GTP hydrolysis state that resists depolymerization.

Accessibility of the unstructured α-tubulin C-terminal tail is controlled by microtubule lattice conformation

Takashi Hotta, Morgan L. Pimm, Ezekiel C. Thomas, Yang Yue, Patrick Ryan DeLear, Lynne Blasius, Michael A. Cianfrocco, Morgan E. DeSantis, Ryota Horiuchi, Takumi Higaki, David Sept, Ryoma Ohi, Kristen J. Verhey

The paper investigates the accessibility of the α-tubulin C-terminal tail (Y-CTT) and finds it is regulated by microtubule lattice conformation through nucleotide state and MAP interactions.
