Microtubules are specifically and efficiently visualized with the new fluorescent taxoids 7-O-[N-(4'-fluoresceincarbonyl)-L-alanyl]taxol (FLUTAX) and 7-O-[N-(4'-tetramethylrhodaminecarbonyl)-L-alanyl]taxol (ROTAX). Similarly to taxol, FLUTAX and ROTAX are able to drive inactive GDP-liganded tubulin
The neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) suppressor gene encodes a protein termed merlin (or schwannomin) with sequence similarity to a family of proteins that link the actin cytoskeleton to cell surface glycoproteins. Members of this ERM family of proteins include ezrin, radixin, and moesin. These proteins co
