... in cells. Lysates of the above cells were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-FLAG antibody, and then immunoblotted with antibodies against Rock1, Rock2, Lamin B1 and FLAG. In order to examine the role of the Shroom-ROCK interactions in epithelial junction constriction, we sought...

...-tubulin distribution underlies the assembly of aligned arrays of microtubules that drive apicobasal cell elongation. Finally, experiments with the related protein, Shroom1,demonstrate that γ-tubulin regulation is a conserved feature of this protein family. Together, the data demonstrate that Shroom family...

...Pamela D. Fairbank; Chanjae Lee; Avegiyel Ellis; Jeffrey D. Hildebrand; Jeffrey M. Gross; John B. Wallingford Shroom family proteins have been implicated in the control of the actin cytoskeleton, but so far only a single family member has been studied in the context of developing embryos. Here, we...
