Methods for the indirect immunofluorescent staining of microtubules in embedded and sectioned plant tissues are described and compared. Root tips of Vicia faba, Saccharum officinale, Allium cepa, and root nodules of Glycine max were fixed using conventional methods, embedded in polyethylene glycol or Steedman's wax, sectioned with a glass knife on a rotary microtome, and dewaxed in water or alcohol. The addition of dithiothreitol (DTT), dehydrating at low temperatures and reducing the infiltrations times were found to reduce background fluorescence in Allium cepa. Steedman's wax yields a block that is similar to paraffin and is easier to section than PEG. Routine methods for indirect immunofluorescence were used to stain sections for tubulin/microtubules. The major microtubule arrays of mitotic cells are illustrated in this paper. The principal advantage of this technique is the preservation of cell-to-cell continuity in multicellular tissues. This method provides a much needed technique for the study of the cytoskeleton during growth and differentiation of plant tissues. 相似文献

The ANGUSTIFOLIA (AN) gene is required for leaf hair (trichome) branching and is also involved in polarized expansion underlying organ shape. Here we show that the AN gene encodes a C-terminal binding proteins/brefeldin A ADP-ribosylated substrates (CtBP/BARS) related protein. AN is expressed at low levels in all organs and the AN protein is localized in the cytoplasm. In an mutant trichomes, the organization of the actin cytoskeleton is normal but the distribution of microtubules is aberrant. A role of AN in the control of the microtubule cytoskeleton is further supported by the finding that AN genetically and physically interacts with ZWICHEL, a kinesin motor molecule involved in trichome branching. Our data suggest that CtBP/BARS-like protein function in plants is directly associated with the microtubule cytoskeleton. 相似文献

Rearrangements of microtubular cytoskeleton during telophase in pollen mother cells of some dicotyledon plants with the simultaneous cytokinesis during normal and abnormal meiosis were studied. At telophase I, a potentially functional phragmoplast forms between daughter nuclei, but no cell plate is present. During interkinesis, the phragmoplast plays the role of an interphase cytoskeleton array. Dynamics of microtubule reorganization in polar regions of the telophase spindle is discussed in addition to the role played by microtubule convergence centers in cytoskeleton rearrangements during meiosis. 相似文献

The LINC (linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complex forms a transcisternal bridge across the NE (nuclear envelope) that connects the cytoskeleton with the nuclear interior. This enables some proteins of the NE to communicate with the centrosome and the microtubule cytoskeleton. The position of the centrosome relative to the NE is of vital importance for many cell functions, such as cell migration and division, and centrosomal dislocation is a frequent phenotype in laminopathic disorders. Also in mitosis, a small group of transmembrane NE proteins associate with microtubules when they concentrate in a specific membrane domain associated with the mitotic spindle. The present review discusses structural and functional aspects of microtubule association with NE proteins and how this association may be maintained over the cell cycle. 相似文献

Yolk-laden insect eggs and embryos are easy to fix and section by the following procedure: 1) Fix with non- or slightly coagulant solutions after opening the envelopes for large eggs, or after superficial fixation and removal of the vitelline membrane for small ones. 2) Carefully embed fixed and washed specimens in a thick agar gel. 3) Dehydrate trimmed agar blocks, first with 70% ethanol, then with 2-ethoxy-ethanol. 4) After optional immersion in butanol-1, embed in Steedman's “Ester wax 1960.” 5) Section, mount and stain like paraffin sections. Results are compared to the cryosertioning method recently described by Hartmann. 相似文献

Head injury simulations predict the occurrence of traumatic brain injury by placing a threshold on the calculated strains for axon tracts within the brain. However, a current roadblock to accurate injury prediction is the selection of an appropriate axon damage threshold. While several computational studies have used models of the axon cytoskeleton to investigate damage initiation, these models all employ an idealized, homogeneous axonal geometry. This homogeneous geometry with regularly spaced microtubules, evenly distributed throughout the model, overestimates axon strength because, in reality, the axon cytoskeleton is heterogeneous. In the heterogeneous cytoskeleton, the weakest cross section determines the initiation of failure, but these weak spots are not present in a homogeneous model. Addressing one source of heterogeneity in the axon cytoskeleton, we present a new semiautomated image analysis pipeline for using serial-section transmission electron micrographs to reconstruct the microtubule geometry of an axon. The image analysis procedure locates microtubules within the images, traces them throughout the image stack, and reconstructs the microtubule structure as a finite element mesh. We demonstrate the image analysis approach using a C. elegans touch receptor neuron due to the availability of high-quality serial-section transmission electron micrograph data sets. The results of the analysis highlight the heterogeneity of the microtubule structure in the spatial variation of both microtubule number and length. Simulations comparing this image-based geometry with homogeneous geometries show that structural heterogeneity in the image-based model creates significant spatial variation in deformation. The homogeneous geometries, on the other hand, deform more uniformly. Since no single homogeneous model can replicate the mechanical behavior of the image-based model, our results argue that heterogeneity in axon microtubule geometry should be considered in determining accurate axon failure thresholds. 相似文献

The molecular mechanisms of signal transduction of plants in response to infection by Verticillium dahliae (VD) are not well understood. We previously showed that NO may act as an upstream signalling molecule to trigger the depolymerization of cortical microtubules in Arabidopsis. In the present study, we used the wild-type, and atrbohD and atrbohF mutants of Arabidopsis to explore the mechanisms of action of H(2)O(2) signals and the dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton in defence responses. We demonstrated that H(2)O(2) may also act as an upstream signalling molecule to regulate cortical microtubule depolymerization. The depolymerization of the cortical microtubules played a functional role in the signalling pathway to mediate the expression of defence genes. The results indicate that H(2)O(2) modulates the dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton to trigger the expression of defence genes against V. dahliae toxins (VD-toxins) in Arabidopsis. 相似文献

Cell-cycle progression without an intact microtuble cytoskeleton 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
For mammalian somatic cells, the importance of microtubule cytoskeleton integrity during interphase cell-cycle progression is uncertain. The loss, suppression, or stabilization of the microtubule cytoskeleton has been widely reported to cause a G1 arrest in a variable, and often high, proportion of cell populations, suggesting the existence of a "microtubule damage," "microtubule integrity," or "postmitotic" checkpoint in G1 or G2. We found that when normal human cells (hTERT RPE1 and primary fibroblasts) are continuously exposed to nocodazole, they remain in mitosis for 10-48 hr before they slip out of mitosis and arrest in G1; this finding is consistent with previous reports. To eliminate the persistent effects of prolonged mitosis, we isolated anaphase-telophase cells that were just finishing a mitosis of normal duration, then we rapidly and completely disassembled microtubules by chilling the preparations to 0 degrees C for 10 minutes in the continuous presence of nocodazole or colcemid treatment to ensure that the cells entered G1 without a microtubule cytoskeleton. Without microtubules, cells progressed from anaphase to a subsequent mitosis with essentially normal kinetics. Similar results were obtained for cells in which the microtubule cytoskeleton was partially diminished by lower nocodazole doses or augmented and stabilized with taxol. Thus, after a preceding mitosis of normal duration, the integrity of the microtubule cytoskeleton is not subject to checkpoint surveillance, nor is it required for the normal human cell to progress through G1 and the remainder of interphase. 相似文献
