Abstract excerpt
In simple epithelial cells, attachment of microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) to intermediate filaments (IFs) enables their localization to the apical domain. It is released by cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)1 phosphorylation. Here, we identified a component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex, gamma-tubulin complex protein (GCP)6, as a keratin partner in yeast two-hybrid assays. This was validated by binding in...
