Structural Basis for the Association of MAP6 Protein with Microtubules and Its Regulation by Calmodulin

Abstract: Background: Microtubules are cold-sensitive, but some cold-stable microtubules are observed in specific cells due to the presence of MAP6. Results: Structural data detail how a MAP6 fragment stabilizes microtubules and how calmodulin regulates its activity. Conclusion: MAP6 may stabilize microtubules by bridging adjacent tubulin heterodimers, an activity sterically hindered by calmodulin. Significance: This work provides a better understanding of cellular microtubule stabilization and its regulation by calmodu… Show more

“…Calmodulin is also known to bind IP3 receptor and regulates its calcium channel activity (Kasri et al , 2006). It is intriguing that calmodulin has also been implicated in regulating microtubule dynamics via microtubule-associated proteins (Lefevre et al , 2013). …”

“…There are several proteins that interact with both the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons to enable cross talk between the two cytoskeletal networks (Bartolini and Gundersen, 2010). However, the interactions between MAP6 and microtubules or actin may be mutually exclusive and appear tightly regulated by phosphorylation (Baratier et al, 2006;Lefevre et al, 2013).…”

“…Many studies have focused on the phosphorylation of MAP6 by CaMKII (Bosc et al, 2001;Bosc et al, 2003;Baratier et al, 2006). MAP6 is phosphorylated by CaMKII in vitro on at least three of the four potential CaMKII consensus sites found within its sequence: Ser139, Ser198, and Ser491 (Baratier et al, 2006;Lefevre et al, 2013). Phosphorylation of MAP6 by CaMKII causes MAP6 to dissociate from the microtubule (Lefevre et al, 2013).…”

“…Microtubule assembly is subsequently regulated by calcium-loaded calmodulin (Ca 2+ /CaM) via direct binding to MAPs (24)(25)(26). Calmodulin (CaM) is a relatively small calcium-binding protein involved in many signaling pathways that regulate a large number of crucial cellular processes (27).…”
