TUBULIN:STATHMIN-LIKE DOMAIN COMPLEX
Overview
Phosphoproteins of the stathmin family interact with the alphabeta tubulin heterodimer (tubulin) and hence interfere with microtubule dynamics. The structure of the complex of GDP-tubulin with the stathmin-like domain of the neural protein RB3 reveals a head-to-tail assembly of two tubulins with a 91-residue RB3 alpha helix in which each copy of an internal duplicated sequence interacts with a different tubulin. As a result of the relative orientations adopted by tubulins and by their alpha and beta subunits, the tubulin:RB3 complex forms a curved structure. The RB3 helix thus most likely prevents incorporation of tubulin into microtubules by holding it in an assembly with a curvature very similar to that of the depolymerization products of microtubules.
