PAR-3/Baz function is regulated by CDK1 in asymmetrically dividing cells in the central and peripheral nervous system of Drosophila revealing direct regulation of cell polarity by the cell cycle machinery in the context of cell fate specification.
Posttranslational modifications of tubulins regulate axonal growth and regeneration by controlling the stabilities of microtubules or modulating their interactions with microtubule-associated proteins.
A biochemical approach shows co-phase separation of CCL5 with heparan sulfate establishes a specific chemokine concentration gradient for chemotactic activity.
The protein hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor interacts with microtubules to enhance their stability and recruits TPX2 to promote microtubule emanation in neurons.
