Open AccessCDK5RAP2 is a Wnt target gene and promotes stemness and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma
In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a highly aggressive and frequently lethal malignancy, the role and action mechanism of the microtubule regulatory protein CDK5RAP2 have not been fully understood. Here, ...

Detection and Analysis of Microtubule Nucleator γ-Tubulin Ring Complex
Golgi-derived microtubules constitute an asymmetrical microtubule network that drives polarized transport of vesicles to support cell polarization and directional migration. Golgi-based microtubule nucleation ...

The neuronal p35 activator of Cdk5 is a novel F-actin binding and bundling protein
The neuronal Cdk5 activator p35 is involved in a multitude of neuronal activities, including cytoskeletal organization. We show here that p35 directly interacts with filamentous actin (F-actin) but not with mo...

Protein–Protein Interactions Involving the N-Terminus of p35
As a major regulator of Cdk5, the protein p35 exerts various effects on neuronal cells. Under certain conditions, p35 undergoes truncation of its N-terminus to form the protein p25. Although p25 is equally pot...
