Molecular characterization of the TUBG1 meshwork's influence on Cytoskeletal organization by Darina Malycheva, Maria Alvarado-Kristensson

“…These findings suggest that actin reinforcement may act as a compensatory response to the broader disruption of cytoskeletal integrity. Expression of N-terminal (TUBG1-335) or C-terminal (TUBG334-451) fragments of TUBG1 partially restored these networks, with the C-terminal fragment demonstrating greater effectiveness reestablishing microtubule integrity. …”
