Insight into tubulin regulation from a complex with colchicine and a stathmin-like domain
Microtubules are cytoskeletal polymers of tubulin involved in many cellular functions. Their dynamic instability is controlled by numerous compounds and proteins, including colchicine and stathmin… Expand

Fusion mutants of the influenza virus hemagglutinin glycoprotein
The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) mediates viral entry into cells by a low pH induced membrane-fusion event in endosomal vesicles. Mutant viruses with altered pH dependence for both hemolysis… Expand

Structural basis for the regulation of tubulin by vinblastine
Vinblastine is one of several tubulin-targeting Vinca alkaloids that have been responsible for many chemotherapeutic successes since their introduction in the clinic as antitumour drugs. In contrast… Expand

Structure of a kinesin–tubulin complex and implications for kinesin motility
The typical function of kinesins is to transport cargo along microtubules. Binding of ATP to microtubule-attached motile kinesins leads to cargo displacement. To better understand the nature of the… Expand

Structure of influenza virus haemagglutinin complexed with a neutralizing antibody
HAEMAGGLUTININ (HA) is the influenza surface glycoprotein that interacts with infectivity-neutralizing antibodies. As a consequence of this immune pressure, it is the variable virus component, which… Expand

Variations in the colchicine-binding domain provide insight into the structural switch of tubulin
Structural changes occur in the αβ-tubulin heterodimer during the microtubule assembly/disassembly cycle. Their most prominent feature is a transition from a straight, microtubular structure to a… Expand

A carbohydrate side chain on hemagglutinins of Hong Kong influenza viruses inhibits recognition by a monoclonal antibody.
A single amino acid substitution, Asp-63 to Asn-63, was detected in the hemagglutinin of an antigenic variant of the 1968 Hong Kong (H3) influenza virus that was selected by growth of the wild-type… Expand

The determinants that govern microtubule assembly from the atomic structure of GTP-tubulin.
Tubulin alternates between a soluble curved structure and a microtubule straight conformation. GTP binding to αβ-tubulin is required for microtubule assembly, but whether this triggers conversion… Expand

The structure of apo-kinesin bound to tubulin links the nucleotide cycle to movement.
Kinesin-1 is a dimeric ATP-dependent motor protein that moves towards microtubules (+) ends. This movement is driven by two conformations (docked and undocked) of the two motor domains… Expand

The 4 Å X-Ray Structure of a Tubulin:Stathmin-like Domain Complex
Phosphoproteins of the stathmin family interact with the alphabeta tubulin heterodimer (tubulin) and hence interfere with microtubule dynamics. The structure of the complex of GDP-tubulin with the… Expand
