Abstract excerpt
Baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has significant sequence conservation with a core subset of mammalian proteins and can serve as a model for disease processes. The aim of this study was to determine whether yeast could be used as a model system to identify new agents that interact with the laulimalide-peloruside binding site on β-tubulin. Agents that bind to this site cause stabilization of microtubules...
