1. ••], are the first to identify one of the components of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, costal 2, as a novel kinesin-related protein. In addition, these papers show that costal 2 is in a complex with the transcription factor CI and the protein kinase, fused. This is the first report of a MT motor-like protein in association with a transcription factor and suggests that sequestering and release of the complex from the MT may regulate availability of the transcription factor.

NFKB/RelA binding to IKB did not displace dlc1 suggesting that dlc1 may bind to the NFKB/IKB complex and contribute to the cytoplasmic latency of NFKB.

Nagata KI, Puls A, Futter C, Aspenström P, Schaefer E, Nakata T, Hirokawa N, Hall A The MAP kinase kinase kinasea MLK2 co-localizes with activated JNK along microtubules and associates with kinesin superfamily motor KIF3. EMBO J. 17:1998;149-158. Mixed lineage kinase 2 (MLK2), a MAP kinase kinase kinase, interacted by two-hybrid analysis and co-immunoprecipitation with two members of the kif3 kinesin motor protein family as well as kap3A, a putative kif3 targeting protein. MLK2 expression strongly activated the JNK MAP kinase pathway and was colocalized with JNK MAP kinase on MTs. This is the first paper to identify a kinesin motor protein that interacts with a kinase in a signaling cascade. As Rac activates MLK2 and is also localized on MTs (see [6]), this raises the possibility that MTs may bring together several components in signaling pathways.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 94:1997;1224-1229. Parallel arrays of subcortical MTs are shown to move small endogenous organelles toward the future dorsal side of the embryo. β catenin is colocalized with MTs on the dorsal, but not ventral side of the embryo. Although not demonstrated directly, this study implies that components of the Wnt signaling pathway may be moved on MTs and contribute to early axis formation in the embryo.

Disruption of cortical arrays of MTs in early embryos interferes with axis formation as shown by lack of β catenin translocation to blastomere nuclei and lack of goosecoid and forkhead2 transcription. This supports the idea that MTs may be used to move factors involved in axis determination.

27. ••], this report identifies tubulin as a substrate for the G-protein coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and shows that GRKs can bind to tubulin and MTs by a number of assays. Receptor occupancy leads to GRK-tubulin complex formation and tubulin phosphorylation in vivo. Tubulin phosphorylated by GRKs is capable of assembly into MTs. GRKs were localized to MTs in GRK-transfected cells. These studies are significant because they suggest that the GRK-tubulin interaction may link G-protein receptor function to changes in the MT cytoskeleton.

Cell Motil Cytoskeleton. 41:1998;325-340. Direct measurements of MT dynamics show a linear correlation between parameters of MT dynamics, cell locomotion rate and the size of the lamellipodium. MTs may release factors that affect the lamellipodium as MTs were not observed to enter the lamellipodium and acute, catastrophic breakdown of MTs led to the formation of large lamellipodium-like protrusions.

J Cell Biol. 136:1997;845-857. Microinjection of MAP2, MAP2c or tau was shown to compensate for ABP280 in reducing membrane blebbing in an ABP280-deficient cell line. MAP2c also induced the formation of lamellae and MT-bearing processes. These in vivo properties were correlated with the ability of the microtubule-associated proteins to induce actin gelation in vitro. The paper is noteworthy because it shows strong evidence that microtubule-associated proteins have functional interactions with the actin cytoskeleton.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a mitogenic lipid and normal serum component, induces stabilization of a subset of MTs via the small GTPase Rho. Stabilized MTs formed in response to active Rho are oriented in wound edge cells. Time-lapse analysis of MTs shows that Rho activation leads to an increase in MT pausing, but does not change dynamic instability parameters. These effects appear to be independent of Rho-induced actin stress fiber formation. This is the first specific effect of a Rho family GTPase on MTs.

53. Sawin KE, Nurse P Regulation of cell polarity by microtubules in fission yeast. J Cell Biol. 142:1998;457-471. Depolymerization of MTs in Schizosaccharomyces. pombe leads to changes in the actin cytoskeleton including loss of polarization of actin patches and cables. Ral3, a BEM1 homolog and Cdc42 binding protein implicated in polarity, relocalizes from the ends of the microtubules to the middle of the cell. After several hours, actin and Ral3 partially recover, suggesting that while MTs play a major role in positioning polarity factors, there may be MT-independent polarity-determining factors.
54. Mata J, Nurse P Tea1 and the microtubular cytoskeleton are important for generating global spatial order within the fission yeast cell. Cell. 89:1997;939-949. Schizosaccharomyces pombe with mutations in tea1p have cell shape defects, with many cells either bent or branched (T-shaped). Tea1 protein localizes to the cell tips and to one end of each MT bundle, and its distribution is MT-dependent. Deletion or overexpression of TEA1 leads to abnormally long or short MTs, respectively.
55. Bahler J, Pringle JR Pom1p, a fission yeast protein kinase that provides positional information for both polarized growth and cytokinesis. Genes Dev. 12:1998;1356-1370. Pom1p is a putative kinase identified by a mutant phenotype of misplaced cell division septa. Cells with pom1 mutations are also defective in bipolar growth, typically growing from only one end. Pom1p shows MT and tea1p dependent localization to the cell tips and possibly MTs, and MT-independent localization in the cell center. SPBs in cells with pom1 mutations are frequently displaced from the center, suggesting that pom1p acts locally to regulate cell polarity events and may transduce positional signals from MTs to downstream targets.
56. Miller RK, Rose MD Kar9p is a novel cortical protein required for cytoplasmic microtubule orientation in yeast. J Cell Biol. 140:1998;377-390. MTs are essential for nuclear fusion during mating in S. cerevisiae. Kar9 protein localizes to a single dot at the tip of the schmoo projection during mating and to a cortical dot at the tip of a growing bud, independently of MTs. In cells defective for kar9 the cytoplasmic MTs and SPBs are misoriented and nuclei remain far apart in mating cells. Genetic studies suggest kar9 acts in a pathway parallel to dynein and that one of these complexes is essential for tethering MTs to the cortex and generating tension to position the nucleus appropriately.

J Biol Chem. 273:1998;9797-9803. From a screen of MT-associated proteins and motor proteins, conventional kinesin is identified as one protein that is capable of selectively binding to detyrosinated tubulin. Direct binding studies show that kinesin has a threefold higher affinity for MTs composed of detyrosinated tubulin than for MTs composed of tyrosinated tubulin. Conventional kinesin is also shown to bind specifically to vimentin intermediate filaments.

Mol Biol Cell 1999, in press. Detyrosinated tubulin is not normally present in the monomer pool of tubulin in cells and this paper shows that when a nonpolymerizable form of detyrosinated tubulin (but not tyrosinated tubulin) is introducted into the monomer pool, it interferes with the MT-intermediate filament interaction and causes intermediate filament collapse. Carboxy-terminal fragments of detyrosinated tubulin also cause collapse. Kinesin binding to MTs in vitro is affected by the same reagents that cause intermediate filament collapse. See also [91].

Schmid-Alliana A, Menou L, Manie S, Schmid-Antomarchi H, Millet MA, Giuriato S, Ferrua B, Rossi B Microtubule integrity regulates src-like and extracellular signal-regulated kinase activities in human pro-monocytic cells. Importance for interleukin-1 production. J Biol Chem. 273:1998;3394-3400. Depolymerization of MTs by colchicine stimulates IL-1 production in monocytes (see also [119]) and this paper shows that the pathway from MT breakdown to IL-1 production involves activation of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway. An inhibitor of src-like kinases blocks the activation of the ERK pathway by MT breakdown raising the possibility that src kinases may be involved.

Colocalization of c-src and MTs was detectable within 90 minutes of adhesion to substrate. MT arrays appeared very different in cells plated on different substrates. C-src bound preferentially to polymeric tubulin in vivo and in vitro, but whether the interaction is direct was not tested. The authors propose a role for src in vesicle transport and membrane ruffling.

Phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in the cytoplasmic regions of the T-cell receptor-Z and CD3ε chains of the T-cell receptor by Lck was necessary for microtubule organizing center orientation. Phosphorylated ITAMs serve as docking sites for Syk/ZAP-70 kinases, which activate downstream pathways. Activation of the Ras pathway, a target of Syk/ZAP-70, was not required for microtubule organizing center orientation.
