Mutations in α-Tubulin Cause Abnormal Neuronal Migration in Mice and Lissencephaly in Humans
Summary The development of the mammalian brain is dependent on extensive neuronal migration. Mutations in mice and humans that affect neuronal migration result in abnormal lamination of brain… Expand

Mutations in TUBG1, DYNC1H1, KIF5C and KIF2A cause malformations of cortical development and microcephaly
The genetic causes of malformations of cortical development (MCD) remain largely unknown. Here we report the discovery of multiple pathogenic missense mutations in TUBG1, DYNC1H1 and KIF2A, as well… Expand

Mutations in the β-tubulin gene TUBB2B result in asymmetrical polymicrogyria
Polymicrogyria is a relatively common but poorly understood defect of cortical development characterized by numerous small gyri and a thick disorganized cortical plate lacking normal lamination. Here… Expand

Mutations in the β-Tubulin Gene TUBB5 Cause Microcephaly with Structural Brain Abnormalities
Summary The formation of the mammalian cortex requires the generation, migration, and differentiation of neurons. The vital role that the microtubule cytoskeleton plays in these cellular processes is… Expand

Binding of the arginine repressor of Escherichia coli K12 to its operator sites.
In the arginine regulon of Escherichia coli K12 each of the eight operator sites consists of two 18-base-pair-long palindromic sequences called ARG boxes. In the operator sites for the structural… Expand

Pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin.
We describe the complete beta-tubulin folding pathway. Folding intermediates produced via ATP-dependent interaction with cytosolic chaperonin undergo a sequence of interactions with four proteins… Expand

Mutations in TUBB8 and Human Oocyte Meiotic Arrest.
Background Human reproduction depends on the fusion of a mature oocyte with a sperm cell to form a fertilized egg. The genetic events that lead to the arrest of human oocyte maturation are unknown.… Expand

The DNA-binding domain of the hexameric arginine repressor.
The arginine repressor of Escherichia coli is a classical feedback regulator, signalling the availability of L-arginine inside the cell. It differs from most other bacterial repressors in functioning… Expand

Tubulin Folding Cofactors as GTPase-activating Proteins
In vivo, many proteins must interact with molecular chaperones to attain their native conformation. In the case of tubulin, newly synthesized α- and β-subunits are partially folded by cytosolic… Expand

Mutations in Either TUBB or MAPRE2 Cause Circumferential Skin Creases Kunze Type.
Circumferential skin creases Kunze type (CSC-KT) is a specific congenital entity with an unknown genetic cause. The disease phenotype comprises characteristic circumferential skin creases accompanied… Expand
