Abstract excerpt
Mutations in tubulins affect microtubule (MT) dynamics and functions during neuronal differentiation and their genetic interaction provides insights into the regulation of MT functions. We previously used Caenorhabditis elegans touch receptor neurons to analyze the cellular impact of tubulin mutations and reported the phenotypes of 67 tubulin missense mutations, categorized into three classes: loss-of-function...
