mitochondrion | despite evidence that the mitochondrial proteome is derived from endosymbiotic bacteria, most mitochondria lack the expression of the gamma-tubulin homologue FtsZ, suggesting that gamma-tubulin may replace FtsZ function in mitochondria | Homo sapiens | 5739 | - |
additional information | in close vicinity to the nuclear envelope, endogenous gamma-tubulin form a network of strings, gamma-strings, which grow from the nuclear compartment and towards the plasma membrane. Fixed U2OS cells transiently expressing gamma-tubulin sgRNA (Cas9-crispGFP) are immunofluorescence stained with an anti-MTCO2 antibody and a gamma-tubulin antibody originated in mouse. Nuclear localization signal (NLS) mediates gamma-tubulin translocation to the nucleus.

malfunction | reduced levels of gamma-tubulin or impairment of its GTPase domain disrupts the mitochondrial network and alters both their respiratory capacity and the expression of mitochondrial-related genes. By contrast, reduced mitochondrial number or increased protein levels of gamma-tubulin DNA-binding domain enhance the association of gamma-tubulin with mitochondria. Increased mitochondria protein transport and low cellular mitochondria content affect the gamma-tubulin meshwork. Sg-mediated knockdown of gamma-tubulin affects the activity of the mitochondria, but not the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | gamma-tubulin forms a cellular meshwork of gamma-strings and gamma-tubules. While gamma-tubules are polar cytosolic filaments within the gamma-string meshwork, gamma-strings are detected in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus and are formed of non-polar protein threads that cross the double membrane of the nuclear envelope. The gamma-string meshwork forms a boundary around chromatin, which coordinates cytosolic and nuclear events during mitosis by assuring that a nuclear envelope forms around daughter chromosomes. The gamma-tubulin meshwork may be a dynamic network that contributes to cellular homeostasis | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | an important regulator of microtubule dynamics during cell division is the protein gamma-tubulin. gamma-Tubulin expression and its GTPase domain are necessary for the organization of mitochondria in tubular structures. In the cell, gamma-tubulin establishes a cellular network of threads named the gamma-string meshwork. gamma-Strings have the ability to connect the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial DNA together. gamma-Tubulin has a role in the maintenance of the mitochondrial network and functions. The endoplasmic reticulum is not affected by gamma-tubulin. gamma-Tubulin provides a cytoskeletal element that gives form to the mitochondrial network. gamma-Tubulin regulates the expression of mitochondrial genes, overview of upregulated mitochondria-related genes. It affects the replication of mitochondrial DNA | Homo sapiens |
