Abstract excerpt
Mutations in doublecortin ( DCX) affect the migration of neuronal precursor cells and cause subcortical band heterotopia and lissencephaly. DCX is known to bind and bundle microtubules; however, the impact of mutation on DCX function and its relation to the manifestation of DCX-associated disorders is still unclear. We analyzed the impact of DCX mutants on COS7 cell microtubule networks. We found that both mutant...
