Desmoplakin: an unexpected regulator of microtubule organization in the epidermis.

The Journal of cell biology - 15 Jan 2007

Lechler Terry, Fuchs Elaine

Abstract excerpt

Despite their importance in cell shape and polarity generation, the organization of microtubules in differentiated cells and tissues remains relatively unexplored in mammals. We generated transgenic mice in which the epidermis expresses a fluorescently labeled microtubule-binding protein and show that in epidermis and in cultured keratinocytes, microtubules stereotypically reorganize as they differentiate. In...
