Laboratory of Biology of the Cytoskeleton

We study the molecular mechanisms of microtubule organization and regulation

+ microtubules, + tubulin isotypes, + γ-tubulin complexes, + regulation of microtubule nucleation, + signal transduction

New functions of nuclear and membrane γ-tubulin

We have shown that γ-tubulin has – besides nucleation of microtubules from centrosomes – additional functions. [pubmed] [doi]

Regulation of microtubule nucleation by protein kinases and phosphatases

We have found that protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases form complexes with γ-tubulin and regulate microtubule nucleation in mast cells. [pubmed] [doi]

Effect of profilin on the organization of microfilaments and microtubules

We have shown that profilin, the actin regulator, controls microtubule nucleation and dynamics. [pubmed] [doi]
